Out two nights in a row-still life in the old girl yet! Tonight: a surprise birthday screening of ‘Stop Making Sense’. David Byrne? What a showman. Also, weirdly Cillian Murphy vibes in a few shots. Same hair, same intensity!

Anyone else been ghosted by the Three mobile network today? My phone has basically turned into an expensive clock. I haven’t been able to make or receive calls or texts all day. #ThreeUKdown Three UK ThreeUKSupport downdetector.co.uk/status/3/

Mini stampede of deer in #BushyPark this morning, courtesy of one very enthusiastic, yappy dog, legs going like the clappers, owner nowhere to be seen. I can only assume his name was FENTON?! (Because, let’s be honest, history does have a way of repeating itself) #DogonTheLoose

Ordered a Chinese. Pretty sure dynasties rose & fell while we waited. Food eventually arrives. We tuck in. Then a knock at the door. Driver’s stuck. Our street requires reversing. Hubby to the rescue. delivery guy gazing at him like he’s just met his soulmate. Explains a lot.

Hundreds of families with adopted children in Surrey are waiting to hear whether funding for their government-provided therapy services will continue. Tap below to read more: bbc.in/4isHE6H

#IsItOk that the government is scrapping the Adoption Support Fund? Because clearly, children who’ve experienced trauma just need a good British cup of tea and a firm handshake. Therapy? So last season. #TheLastLeg

#IsItOkay to decide who's disabled enough by tightening PIP criteria, then freeze support payments, and still claim you're "helping"? Asking for a Chancellor who's found the cure for illness: poverty. #BluntForceReform #SocialSecurityIsALifeline #PIPcuts The Last Leg #TheLastLeg

Finally, a journalist highlights the scandal nobody’s talking about. Up to 18,000 adopted children are losing life-changing therapy. The government encouraged adoption, but now families face abandonment. The long-term consequences will affect generations. shorturl.at/EgHl6

My husband roped me into watching ClarksonsFarm & now I’m hooked like a sheep on a quad bike. Just watched the episode where the bull arrives-actual tears of laughter. It’s rural chaos at its finest. Watch it. Your abs will hate you.

Thanks so much for sharing, Frances Ryan. It's vital we challenge harmful narratives & ensure everyone reporting on welfare reform/social security gets it right, especially with the PIP vote around the corner. Appreciate your support! #SocialSecurity #EndStigma #PIP

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.

Did someone leave a curler in your hair Robert Peston or bed-hair?

Adoption poverty is a political choice. Families raising children with complex PTSD from early abuse & neglect are being left to cope alone. Cut post-adoption support & you don’t save money, you just shift the cost to classrooms, crisis wards & prisons. #PennyWisePoundFoolish

It currently sounds like we’ve been teleported into a budget remake of Saving Private Ryan. I’m all for a sparkler or two, but surely fireworks should come with a noise-curfew and a permission slip from every local dog and toddler.

Round 2 of “Diwali or Die Hard” here in SW London. Spielberg must be filming a Saving Private Ryan reboot. Chatting to a friend in Shropshire earlier who had no idea what I was talking about. Must be nice to live somewhere the night sky isn’t full of shockwaves & rogue rockets!

In a few minutes, they captured what so many families are living through: children who’ve endured unimaginable early trauma now being denied the specialist therapy they need to heal. And families giving up their careers to look after them. It’s a false economy. #adoptionpoverty

Brilliant night Dara Ó Briain Creation tour Rose Theatre Laugh out loud. His adoption story was funny & poignant. He managed to make something deeply personal hilarious without losing any of its emotional weight. Really good to see Adoption UK there. A great gig & a great cause.
