È il #31agosto e da 25 anni per me è la data della sua morte. Dello sgomento nel sentire la notizia da una radio mentre ero sdraiata sotto un ombrellone in Sardegna, del ritorno in camera per accendere la Tv perché non riuscivo a crederci ⬇️
Dei giorni successivi in cui tutti ne parlavano, in cui ogni frammento della sua vita veniva analizzato, delle immagini degli ultimi giorni, le lunghe gambe a penzoloni dallo yacht di Dodi Al Fayed, ultimo amore di una vita tormentata ⬇️
Lei che saliva sull’aereo che l’avrebbe condotta a Parigi e a quell’anello acquistato in Place Vendôme, poco distante dal Ritz. La giacca nera, i jeans bianchi, il caschetto biondo che si infilavano frettolosi in una porta sul retro per sfuggire ai paparazzi. ⬇️

More reminders.

#Kensington. Vote Labour tomorrow. Here's why.

I see the appeal of lib dems. I want to vote for Sam.

But he has shifted remain votes from lab to lib not con.

That's the sort of outcome we don't need.

Vote #labour and @emmadentcoad tomorrow in #Kensington.
The recriminations between #labour and #libdems on splitting votes go way back before #GE19 - but check my timeline - I've been constructive advocting cooperation.

I don't care who has done what to the other.

I care if we all lose. I'm objective.

Not least because I'm prepared to change my view as we get new data.

At the start of the campaign, I advocated for Lib Dems in #Kensington. @emmadentcoad
Is a good MP, but data said libs had a better chance.

Now, on the most credible data we have, voting LD = tory win here.

You remember #stopthecoup?

24th September - barely 2 months.
Inconceivable really, both that it could happen, and the mobsters could then stand.

Except...who'd have thought.
Turns out piracy pisses off OneNations more than anything else

Come, tour #Kensington for a fun story
They're not the normal #Tory lot here. Where the #Tory money is, normally #Brexit follows. So when they kicked out a Lady of the Manor in 2017, eyes opened.

A huge slice of the Tory base jumped ship for a #labour MP, @emmadentcoad. Tories, putting country before party? Nah??
It didn't help that the Lady MP, in London's most European borough, was the sort to cackle delight at #Brexit

Either way, we thought they'd learn. Tories aren't stupid, right?

So imagine our delight when they finally picked a PPC from...#brexitcentral. How to make friends.

Kensington does not fit the stereotype associated with historically Tory constituencies. At 69% leave Kensington is well within the top 10% of remain supporting constituencies (rank 40/650).

Another kind of "Cool Japan" strategy? After Sao Paulo and LA, the Japanese government opens another "Japan House" on London's expensive Highstreet Kensington, promoting Japan and exploiting the commercial capital of its cultural industry. ImageImageImage
The Japan House is a multifunctional space, much of it is a shop selling what the nation's famous for, from Japanese cooking ware, manga, sake, tea, to art and fashion. But there's also a restaurant, a tourist info center, a library, exhibition space, and tea room. ImageImageImage
It's quite a unique concept, and interesting to see how Japan promotes itself. Looking to buy 67GBP chopsticks, 162GBP origami brooches or a handbag completely made from paper? The Japan House has it. #London #Kensington #Japanhouse ImageImageImage
