James passed away last night after a long illness, peacefully and at home with loved ones.
He embraced every aspect of life, and lived his to the full.
He was a great man, and a dear friend to many.
James will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.
@ConorMcGinn Unbelievable! There are obviously questions to be asked how long did this go on, who authorised it etc! I hope they’re are not going to hide behind the old slogan ‘as private company we are only answerable to our shareholders’
What a contrast between the competent, effective, decisive actions of Darling and Brown and the incompetent vacillating bombastic Covidiots of the Johnson government.
I’ve spent the past two hours jumping between @MSNBC and @FoxNews. American broadcast journalism is truly screwed. Nothing but a wall of partisan propaganda masquerading as reporting.
Keep an eye out for the Jack Charlton postmark!
The first ever collaboration between An Post🇮🇪 and Royal Mail🇬🇧 will mark Jack's contribution to both nations. It'll be applied to stamped mail posted in England and Ireland from today until 9 August.

Reports that the R rate has risen above 1 in the North West are a concern but because the Government have cancelled the weekend press conferences there is silence where we need leadership
More deaths in UK than 27 EU members. Astonishing. ONS says excess deaths have reached 60,000 in 2020. Government failed to properly prepare, failed to provide protection, failed to lockdown soon enough, and is now trying to end lockdown prematurely. Irresponsible.
And easy mistake as the Prime Minister of Italy has the title President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic ‘Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri della Repubblica Italiana’
Not really sure this proves anything, other than that Italy’s health minister thinks his boss, Giuseppe Conte, is President of Italy when he is actually Prime Minister. Italy’s President is Sergio Mattarella.
Chechnya's gay purge tyrant – who said COVID-19 patients 'should be executed' – mounts pathetic defence after 'hospitalisation' https://t.co/4Ok43btzMv
Huge thanks to Barrie Knight for running the 'Big Knight In' to raise funds & all who donated to help local families, older people & my foodbank in this crisis. We collected items from @Morrisons#SE17 today & store manager Joe Lock was brilliant & generous with extra help too!
@JanetBurgess1 Sad to hear of the death of Wally Burgess. Wally made a great contribution to improve the lives of the ordinary people of Islington. Sincere condolences to Janet and the family.
Congratulations to Conor McGinn MP on his appointment by UK Labour Leader Keir Starmer MP as Shadow Minister for Security in the Home Office. He hails from Northern Ireland!
"We will be with our families again.
We will meet again."
Tough times ahead, but HM is certainly a symbol of, despite any personal politics, what is really good about our great nation.
Stay at home.
Look after your loved ones.
Protect our protectors.

I’m not a monarchist but I believe we are so bloody fortunate to have HM the Queen as our head of state.
In 3 minutes she conveyed more calm & hope than all the nonsense Trump & Boris have said in 3 months. What a class act she is! #GodSavetheQueen#QueensSpeech
