Well, Liverpool, it's been a pleasure! First weekend away sans kids since they were born, and we couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We'll be back!

Charle Chaplin’s monologue from the 1940 film “The Great Dictator” hits different now, doesn’t it? ✊🏻

In about a month's time, my cardoon will bring all the bees to the yard, but for now, it's ladybird heaven 🐞🐞🐞

New kitten! Meet Rory :)

Someone was lying on my lap just now.

The poet Adrian Mitchell talked about 'compassion fatigue'. If there's 'outrage fatigue' then a lot of people seem to have used up their outrage on Bob Vylan and don't have any left for dead Palestinians. Shouting slogans is clearly worse than killed people.

Look at the frizzy whiskers! 😻

Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country. Join us. The time is now. Sign up here to stay updated: actionnetwork.org/forms/join-tea…

The first of the cardoon flowers is out and already attracting loads of bees, as well as this rose chafer (not hugely clear in the photo). I'm particularly pleased about that, as we didn't get any of those in the last two years.

🚨 We’re shocked and disappointed. The UK government has pushed through HUGE cuts to Universal Credit for disabled people applying in the future. These cuts will be devastating. They risk pushing even more disabled people to food banks.

And the Universal Credit bill has passed. Some of the sickest people in the country will suffer needlessly more now. There is no justification, no excuse. Just ugly, cruel choices by ministers too cowardly to tax the wealthy rather than cut the poor. A shameful day for Labour.

I am now officially 'I need a nanna nap in the afternoon to function' years old. #nannanannanannanannanannanannanannanannanaptime

As mentioned previously, my cardoon brings all the bees to the yard 🐝🐝🐝

Finn's just finished school for the summer hols. Me (after Ultra Nate): 🎵The boy's free to do what he wants to do 🎵 Finn, instantly: 🎵So long as it isn't illegal 🎵 That boy does crack me up 🤣

Loads of cinnabar moth caterpillars in the garden right now.

As soon as I get up, this cheeky sod nicks my seat. Just as well he's dead cute 😻
