I’m going to try to resist the urge to live tweet my attempts to get my daughter’s passport in person on the hottest day of the year but I can’t promise anything... #passportchaos
I am on a bus...
Absolute scenes at passport office #passportchaos ImageImage
There’s a form but no pens #passportchaos Image
2 hours. In sight of the door... #passportchaos Image
A nice man just gave me one of his doughnuts #passportchaos
So close now. Sun is coming round. Getting hotter. #passportchaos Image
News crew here. Tempers are fraying. I can still touch the door... #passportchaos Image
I’m finally inside the building. Four hours. There was a flurry of bottled water and movement as the cameras arrived. I’m sure it was a coincidence #passportchaos
Ok. I’m out. No sodding passport. Have to wait for an email #passportchaos Not happy.
WE HAVE RECEIVED THE EMAIL. I REPEAT: WE HAVE RECEIVED THE EMAIL! #passportchaos My wife (not me apparently) can pick up the passport from 4pm today!
I have no idea whether anything I did made any difference but the email has now arrived.
She has it in her hands. Didn’t think I’d EVER be this pleased to see a blue bloody passport... #passportchaos Image
My #passportchaos story made it into The Independent… even if they have mis-pronouned me in the picture caption… independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n… ImageImageImage

I love Brexit. I’m sorry it’s “done”. And I’ll tell you why. 1/25
For the majority of my life I’ve felt like I’ve been absolutely powerless. Even at the height of Britpop and Cool Britannia when Tony Blair was supposed to be the answer to all our prayers, he had to go and ruin it all by ignoring everyone about Iraq 2/25
Not that any other PM would’ve behaved any differently - but that’s not the point. Our views were being ignored. Not just ignored, but trampled all over. 3/25
