I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.
A 70 yr old woman has revealed that following a diagnosis of cancer at a southern NHS Trust, she was told she would be put on palliative care.
She sought a second opinion & was referred to Guy's.
Two years on and she is in remission.
Post code lottery but please do search around.
"They've silenced her.
"This is an attempt to punish someone who spoke the truth."
The "bizarre" moment @maitlis is forced to ask Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams to leave the studio.
A group of activists have “renamed” several iconic London Underground stations as the UK struggled through a record-breaking heatwave with highs of 37C.
Why did Boris Johnson accept a £1m gift from the same billionaire who gave Farage £5m?
What did Nigel Farage AND Boris Johnson do for the biggest lump sums of cash ever given to British politicians?
So glad to see this trending. #HarborneReceipts

Book Review Octagon by CJ Merritt 5* one of the years top reads, first class spy fiction, my thoughts @DrCJMerritt@MichaelJBooks#Octagon https://t.co/x0vASr4ixF
As Britain swelters through another heatwave, few people will have heard that ministers have quietly dropped plans for solar carports.
Cars cooler in summer. Shelter from the rain in winter. Clean electricity all year round.
A missed opportunity?

Many many thanks to Orenda Books for kindly sending me two proofs Split Second by RC Bridgestock out in August and The Deadline Inheritance of Everest McDonald by AJ West, available now to pre order, looking forward to reading both @OrendaBooks@AJWestAuthor
New series Sunday Shout Out to authors I greatly admire, all stars in my book & deserve to be widely read, one thing they have in common, they are in my auto buy notebook. Starting with Heather J Fitt her books have just been re released and come highly recommended @HeatherJFitt
I have a theory when reading great spy fiction, that it should be read in a darkened room, lit by one lamp, sat in an upright leather Chesterfield chair with a glass of whiskey on the arm, Octagon by CJ Merritt absolutely falls into that category, 5* outstanding @DrCJMerritt
