Back with my friends in the 7am Lido queue. Being ticked off by the ‘Sales Prevention Team’ (we don’t like it packed) for singing its praises on telly @gmb - @therealfionamillar still in Eskimo gear. I am one layer today #warm
Well thank you @gmb - sleep pattern well and truly banjaxed ...
Tree of the Day courtesy of @kayburley_ who is about to interview me Re Living Better with this amazing backdrop ... #mentalhealthawareness link in bio if not too late !!
Check out my story for details but on the third anniversary of the death of the wonderful Tessa Jowell the @tessajowellfoundation is launching fundraiser for TJ Centres of Excellence and if you can’t do the big bucks donations (hey Tony how did you find @gmb ) buy the merch. This hoodie on a par with @warringtonrlfc which is the best I’ve ever had !! Ps also look out for Seb Coe tribute fron this morning programme. So warm. Those guys were a great team London 2012. Legacy lives on
Ok folks. Someone who looks a bit like this will be talking to me and @susannareid100 on @gmb this morning. About Lots Of Things. And before anyone says that is two Labour lefties talking to each other ... 1. He is not as leftie as I am! 2. We also have George Eustice, Seb Coe and Vinnie Jones who have all identified as Tories at times! We have Denise van Outen too. Don’t know about her politics. I have helped TB prepare for thousands of interviews in my time and am thoroughly enjoying his discomfort that I won’t prepare him for this one. ‘I’m only doing this for you Ali ... the office think it is bonkers!’ Well, if you don’t listen to your office Tony ... I feel if I briefed you I would have to brief George too. Looking forward to it. Really am .... #getthebandbacktogether
Mugging up on the Brits ahead of @gmb tomorrow. The time TB was bricking it when Bowie warned him the crowd was hard work, and TB was star struck already .... ps don’t forget tomorrow evening Link In Bio back on the book tour trail. Night night
I got for a quiet swim and my bloody daughter @disgracecampbell films me ‘cos your @gmb thing is quite good for my brand at the moment dad! Ought to get me more followers.’ Shameless.
Paps chasing me for pictures of my new swimming bag as I snap today’s Tree of the Day ... Leave me alone respect my privacy
As @ulrikajonssonofficial discovered this morning on @gmb the indexes of my diaries are key research for interviews. On this page volume 8 is a guest coming on tomorrow. Not a Blair. And not Bin Laden! Free Signed Living Better first correct answer. Ps got messages today from people saying they were getting ‘sold out’ messages for my and @therealfionamillar online event with @kayburley_ Weds. it was a glitch - Link in Bio
#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek with Nature as its theme. So out I went into lovely Trent Park to talk psychedelics with Carole Routledge chief scientist from @small_pharma_
- the first company in the world to bring DMT assisted therapy (medication plus talking) to treat depression, into clinical trials.
Watch the clip and search 'Small Pharma' to find out more about this groundbreaking work. Neither she nor I have ever taken illicit drugs and this is Class A so should only ever be taken under medical supervision. But she is convinced It offers people the chance of a better life and a way to deal with depression.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to learn that Boris Johnson wants the 'right' person to chair the COVID inquiry https://bywire.news/articles/pm-johnson-wants-right-person-to-chair-covid-inquiry?fbclid=IwAR3zcOGDy4iqiHHDsfi5wXkX90lcrohyND4Szz4k7mfHYIcBOMpe2cuTOj4
Good report from @resfoundation - about to debate it at launch with author @rsehmi and @TorstenBell
New RF report out today explores the pandemic’s impact on young workers and their #mentalhealth - here, @RSehmi explains why the double jobs and mental health crisis affecting young people during the pandemic – and possibly beyond – should worry us all. https://www.resolutionfoundation.org/publications/
"The media have played a massive role in shifting the dial on mental health, and the volume of debate we had will hopefully have helped shift it further"
– @campbellclaret on his stint at @GMB and the work to raise awareness of suicide and online dangers.

Utterly shameful. What sort of country have we become? What good does this treatment of our fellow Europeans do for anyone?
EU citizens arriving in UK being locked up and expelled
Europeans with job interviews tell of detentions and expulsions despite rules allowing non-visa holders to attend interviews
