There's always a point during a conference when I'm desperate to cocoon in my hotel room to recharge my batteries. So grateful that a dinner commitment required me to step out.

Genius hire on Govt's part and brilliant news for #localgov and local public services. So excited to see what @tomriordan will mobilise with his clear vision, thoughtful manner and ability to build alliances.
Good luck to @tomriordan in his new job!. City chief exec appointed to senior Whitehall job via @themjcouk.

That's a wrap on 59 1/2 Southwark Street for @londoncouncils. Perfect way to close this chapter to spend the morning with CMT connecting learning from the past to future planning. We'll miss having the best address in town but are so excited to get into our new digs on Arthur St.

15 years of (mostly) being in jobs where I've planned party conference fringes and drafted briefings for them - and this year I finally get to attend one. Actually, two: LDs and Labour. Curious about who else in my network is going to be in Brighton or Liverpool.

.@CLGFSG_LSLACK, @IvorWells - one to remember for a BBQ next summer? (Also, we are VERY overdue for our next Tayyab's visit.).
In my new cookbook Nights Out At Home I offer 60 recipes inspired by my favourite restaurant dishes from 25 years of restaurant reviewing. Here’s me making tandoori lamb chops inspired by those at the great Tayyabs in Whitechapel. Find links to buy the book in my bio.

Can't decide my favourite moment of the day: my early morning wander through a crowd-less York, the view from the Minster Tower or finding a copy of @sotwcanada's second studio album in a local record shop. Who am I kidding? It's 100% the vinyl.
