Was going to join the RCC Brisk Clubrun, but with Speed Machine II out of action, I had a lie in instead and went for a trundle around the South Oxfordshire countryside, lunch at Court Hill and then back home over the downs🚴🏼‍♂️💨Felt like enough today, as mojo and strength seems to have diminished🥱🤷🏻‍♂️

Bleeding the front brake on Speed Machine II….messed it up, broke the syringe and got brake fluid everywhere🤦🏻‍♂️ New bleed kit ordered and will sort in a few days👍

Germany is contributing to tackling inhumane small-boat smuggling across the Channel. As a direct result of the #KensingtonTreaty, Germany changed its law to extend criminal liability to include people smuggling into the UK. This change is bearing fruit! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

29th August 1985 - An excited Michael Fish gets to deploy the rarely seen red number as the temperature gets up to an incredible 26 degrees in London!

Got train work today….looking at state of the roads, when it eventually rains, they’re going to be very slippery with the amount of oil residue build-up on them😬

Here Trump makes clear what everyone suspected: he considers the dictator of North Korea a closer ally than democratic South Korea. Overtly shifting the US into the Axis of Evil column.

Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful. Therefore, and based on the fact that it is too late to cancel, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to substantially reduce the Joint Military Exercises! While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said,
"No thanks!" Thank you for your attention to this matter.

One of my former club mates rode 468km in 12hrs today…I need to work on my cruising speed🚴🏼‍♂️🔥💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨🤯😮👍👏

It’s time we sorted out the press. Constant misinformation to protect their donors and fossil fuels is destroying lives and our planet. The Government must step up and stop being cowardly.

Sorry Zack Polanski this long hot summer is not the apocalypse - it's like a gloriously long holiday in France

Diverted to A4 after the Boxford Alps….had enough of slogging at snails pace as soon as the road went above 1% incline🚴🏼‍♂️🥱😏 Not sure why that felt so much effort🤷🏻‍♂️

I started my new stint as MP for Clacton the way I mean to go on - with a massive lie. I said I was advised not to attend the count by Essex Police, which they then confirmed is bollocks. In fact I just chickened out because I didn't want photos of me next to Count Binface.
