London Nocturne family ride was ACE earlier today. Another reminder of why I love London. Whole Nocturne event is really well put together - looking forward to going back for the crit racing tonight.

My six year old daughter was fascinated by my (postal) ballot. She asked if she could help me vote. I asked her to have a think about what is important to her about the people who run our local council. The answer: "someone who is kind to people, looks after our area and helps clean up rubbish" 🥰

Maybe I live in a metropolitan liberal elite bubble but the idea that there is a 98% chance of Reform going from holding 78 out of 4,900 contested seats to being the party that wins the most seats in tomorrow's locals seems bonkers to me.
