Feel certain Keir Starmer and The Labour Party will relent on #WinterFuelPayment. They've made the point re Tory financial black hole and can find money elsewhere. (Also need to make claiming pension credit easier - 24 pages long.) This, well put by Dominic Minghella, is a good strategy.

It was always a pleasure and a privilege to appear on Garry's Sportsweek programme BBC Radio 5 Live on Sunday mornings, and on BBC Radio 4 Today if I had a book out he liked the sound of. We'd also exchange Non-League chat, given his love for Woking Football Club. A gent and a giant of a broadcaster.

β€œThe memories will be so thick, they’ll have to brush them away from their faces.” My word, what an actor and figure - and what a film was #FieldOfDreams. Rest in peace, #JamesEarlJones. The man’s done enough.

I cannot hear #Trump saying: "They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats," without also hearing Kate Bush singing Hounds of Love in the background. #PresidentialDebate

Back at the The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust for more blood tests this morning and having a coffee ahead of getting the results. In flies a robin and perches right by my table. V likes to make an appearance now and then, to reassure and watch over me.

Watched the last 15 overs of Somerset Cricket v Surrey Cricket on live stream. Saw only 8 runs, leg byes and byes and none off the bat. But it was the most gripping cricket I've seen for some while. Terrific stuff. #CountyChampionship

Just sneaked a cheeky Greggs sausage roll. It's a work of art that captures life really - nice while it lasted, to be followed by twinges of guilt. #OneIsNeverEnoughTwoIsOneTooMany

I've written for both The Observer and Tortoise, and am a reader of, and subscriber to, both. Wholeheartedly approve of and applaud what could be a marriage made in heaven.

Has nobody really had a word with Postecoglou since early exit at Fulham a year ago that for a club like #Spurs, the Carabao Cup is a trophy worth having a right good go at? #COVTOT
