Lord Byron died exactly 200 years ago today, after falling ill in Greece while gathering an army to fight the Ottoman Empire. Raise your game, Simon Armitage. There is plenty to be said about his death, and you will not struggle to find that. I, however, want to talk about..

He had to see more. He had to know Byron was there. So he asked the workmen not to reseal the tomb, took the gathered VIPs for tea and saw them off. Then, at midnight, with a photographer with a name like a bull castrated by a cat, a Mr Claude Bullock, he crept back down.

The Reverend, Thomas Barber, had, over his 24 years in post, become obsessed with Byron (it happens to many of us) and knowing that the poet was just a few feet away when he strolled through his church proved too much. He had to see Byron for himself. So he hatched a plan.

Our MP @DarrenG_Henry tonight voted to stop you even thinking about demonstrating against their policies. He does not represent Broxtowe, he represents himself alone. Shameful.

It also has a tribute from another wonderfully kind and funny man, his Porridge co-star Ronnie Barker. It's quite a lovely read

Ten years ago, at the behest of David Cameron demanding 'tough action', a 24 year old mother of two, was sent down for 4 months for accepting a pair of shorts that had been looted in the riots- she'd been asleep during the actual trouble.

In my life I've lived in squalid flats, slept rough, lived in a tent, been homeless, precariously housed, sofa surfed and squatted. Today I'm having a housewarming party for my own actual house that I own. I feel tremendous relief above all. #HousingCrisis

He also sorted out a Persib (Bandung's team) team shirt+scarf and made my son very happy. Definitely an honorary red.

Loads of young people, the majority without past conviction, were bounced through court and into jail so Cameron could play the hard man Now Cameron is found to be part of a multibillion scam that has stole millions from the public. He'll probably get mildly socially ostracised

Our cat Iggy -that mog with the crown in my profile pic - was hit by a car earlier today and died instantly. We're pretty devastated. 'Just a cat' of course, but he was so deeply part of our family: even the baby loved him, and had one last snuggle with him yesterday.

@carolinenotts Hi Caroline. You still refuse to say what part Carl Husted plays in your campaign and your relationship to him. I won't stop asking.

If any MP who voted for the bill tonight ever talks about free speech, individual rights or anything relating to liberty, then they are hypocrites.
