Flash flooding overnight, after two months of rain fell in just a few hours. I’m in #Snodland #Kent @GMB - as weather warnings are issued for other parts of the UK, with much more rain forecast over the next few days. #BritishSummerTime
Locals here in #Snodland say there’s been nothing like this for at least 40 years - the radar shows massive amounts of rainfall over last 24 hours, spreading from South East across England and Wales. #WeatherWarning #Floods @GMB @metoffice
Flood Fashion. #Kent

Am at the @Nat_Mem_Arb @GMB ahead of a @PoppyLegion commeroration service for the 50th anniversary of the start of #OperationBanner - when British troops were deployed onto the streets of Northern Ireland. The mission lasted 38 years, the longest campaign in UK military history
The Royal British Legion clear this is not a celebration, fully aware of community and political sensitivities that continue long after soldiers left the streets in 2007. That followed the Good Friday agreement signed in 1998.
Very few involved at the start of #OperationBanner would have thought it would last so long - the archive pictures take us back to a very different era, the legacy though still having an impact today.

“There was blood everywhere”. Violent late night brawl in the buffet onboard @pocruises Britannia left staff who intervened injured, as passengers used furniture and plates as weapons. Witnesses told me they were so frightened they had to hide, as family groups fought.
The violence occurred on the final leg of a week long cruise to Norway’s fjords. I became aware of trouble when officers made an emergency tannoy at 2AM for security staff to rush to the 16th floor restaurant. I went too and found passengers shocked by what they’d seen.
One witness, part of a group involved in the trouble, explained to staff that things kicked off when another passenger appeared dressed as a clown. This upset one of their party because they’d specifically booked a cruise with no fancy dress. It led to a violent confrontation.

Horrific crash at a modified car meet in #Stevenage has left 14 injured, some seriously. Organisers asked for no racing or anti-social behaviour at last night’s event. Two cars crashed, ploughing into spectators. I’m at the scene @GMB
Seems clear that those attending the Hertfordshire car cruise event didn’t stay static as organisers asked. Car parks show evidence of drivers doing “donuts” and stunts before the horrendous accident.
Footage posted on social media shows the accident - a car pulling out of a side turning, colliding with another being driven at speed up the road it was joining. Spectators lining the road were hit by the vehicles. Evidence of emergency first aid treatment visible today. @GMB

UK position paper on transition has leaked here: assets.bwbx.io/documents/user…

First major discussion point is of course that UK wants #Brexit transition to last until new relationship is in place.

3 things to learn from that:
a) A sense of realism is taking hold in Westminster on #Brexit. As long argued, a time limited transition is dangerous esp. for the UK, as it creates a new cliff edge. There is very little chance of a fully fledged future relationship negotiated, agreed and fully ratified by 2021
b) The EU strategy of making the UK ask for an extension has worked. If the EU had proposed this, it would have seemed like it wants to keep the UK close indefinitely.

Now it is clear that it is the UK, for economic reasons, that needs this potentially very long transition
