@Keir_Starmer I'm not sure that shattering the class ceiling is the best approach here.

@davidbyers26 Jealous? Without reading it, I'm guessing they went without the children.

@rowan_kitt @QueensCam @QueensAlumni Ten years already, and almost as long since a memorable pizza on London Wall. Thank you for the enormous impact you have made on College.

Our #appletree had incredible #blossom and a bumper crop of apples growing but has been stripped bare by the evil/beautiful squawking green #parakeets - not one fruit left. We've had decent crops for the last 10 years - any #tips for preventing this destruction next year?

[Prof. Rivka Isaacson @rli22]

Came home to this! Thanks to my beloved @njblain for saying it with #bogroll @WhoGivesACrapTP 9yo: You see where it says #prosecco? I thought it said #professor which would have just been too much of a coincidence...

@sarahsackman Sarah if you can persuade your boss to say he will revoke these new licences post-GE then they will become immediately worthless.

@MiriLewis As a gift? Or as dinner?

[Nicholas J Blain @njblain]

@MiriLewis Seriously impressive, but the second picture looks like Indie just gardened a doughnut.

[Nicholas J Blain @njblain]

Lowering environmental impact on #Champagne flutes may not be top of the list, but it's worth raising a (non-plastic) glass to. Soon, hopefully.

[Prof. Rivka Isaacson @rli22]

@southbankcentre Just been in big chat @njblain who knows lots about this from teaching certificate in #climate & #investing #CCI @QuarticTraining however challenging it might be to serve that much bubbly at speed, they've promised to attain Plastic Free status by 2025 so will have to work it out

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Boris nearly died.

[Nicholas J Blain @njblain]

I told the kids on Friday that I had a surprise from them (actually that @rli22 would be home early from a conf).

9yo: Is it a lunar eclipse?

11yo: Are you going to fart in a jar and give it to us to smell?

Delighted their love of #science continues unabated.

@larryandpaul So accurate!

After Brendan Clarke Smith tried to shame me for thanking the Samaritans for their support at Glastonbury I want to say:

1. Mental health difficulties are nothing to be ashamed of. Talk.

2. The Samaritans are wonderful.

3. Get registered so you can vote those Tory scumbags out

I am keen to attend the #sustainability and #netzero event at #ExCeL by @ResetConnect. But your website seems to be infected with malware and my computer is (thankfully) refusing to load it. Is this event worth attending? Is anyone registering via your website?

@PiersUncensored @NadineDorries @piersmorgan I'm sorry, she's not as good as @SoozUK at being Nadine.

[Nicholas J Blain @njblain]

@garysinyor You're assuming the two audiences overlap. I for one wouldn't notice ...

[Nicholas J Blain @njblain]

And all the food is deliciously #veggie!

Beautiful sunny evening for the @cfauk Summer Reception in #GraysInn.

Now how many people will I bore or recruit for the Certificate in #Climate and #Investing?
