The only independent at the event to thank our great volunteer heroes(Ines). From Brentford West our eminent historian Janet McNamara and the team from Brentford Voice represented by Dr Bob. And the team from St Paul's eco church. Brentford West is small but perfectly formed, like it's councillor

Aside from the overall potential impact on London if the IFS proposal for fair funding for councils ifs.org.uk/publications... is implemented, this analysis clearly shows that Hounslow is drastically underfunded compared to richer areas (EG neighbours like Richmond and Hammersmith!)

If Private Eye are right it is obviously too dangerous for Andrew Neill, Guy Dampier, Lionel Shriver, Douglas Carswell and Isabel Oakeshott to spend too much time in the UK, like Nigel Farage avoiding Clacton. Makes life better for the rest of us I suppose.

At Gtech community stadium for an update about Brentford FC Community Sports Trust. Make the point that the trust used to be about sports development. Now it is more sports FOR development- mainly for young people developing personally. So happy to have the football club here!

No dinner in my large chain hotel. There is 'no chef in the kitchen'. I was misled by the wall menu. Do I do with beer and twiglets or go to McDonald's across the road?

I'm not a fan of complicated rules. But this park in the middle of Tallinn is worth it. I wonder if people nick these robot lawnmowers.
