Utterly ridiculous - I’m 6’3” but the seats The O2 for @michaelbuble are so close to each other my wife who’s 5’6” can’t fit either - horrendous experience. Charge a fortune and expect customers to put up with this.. someone needs to look from the customers’ perspective!

Vote cast. 9th general election I’ve voted but hardest decision so far! Since my first in 1992, 4 were won by Conservatives, 3 by Labour and 1 Coalition, and in that time there have been 6 Conservative PMs and 2 Labour. Now just to wait and see what tomorrow brings.

Was a real pleasure to be interviewed by Peter Higgins Peter Higgins (conkers) for the Investing Matters podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/7JJgcg…

Amazing interview - moving and uplifting - with Simon Boas on BBC Radio 4 Today this morning. So true that a small change today can have a major impact on the future. Be kind, smile, be generous and 'all shall be well'.

Congratulations to Sir Keir Starmer. Complete collapse and splintering of the non-Labour vote. Low turnout. Less people voted for Labour this year than for Corbyn’s Labour Party in 2019 when they had their worst result. Work for whole body politic to do to reconnect with people.

"The investment company structure, which has delivered for investors for over 150 years, is well placed to help The Labour Party achieve their growth objectives." Read the AIC's response to Labour's election victory, with comments from Richard Stone: theaic.co.uk/aic/news/press… HM Treasury
