I missed last year's RunReigate Half-Marathon but I am back this year, and again fund-raising for East Surrey Samaritans, the branch where I am a volunteer. If you are able to make a donation, whether it is small or large, we are very grateful for it. justgiving.com/page/david-ne…

I have created another crossword (my third so far). Have a look at it here (with solutions available) mycrossword.co.uk/cryptic/22… For anyone who tries it, I hope you enjoy it - do let me know how you get one either directly or via the mycrossword comments.

I created a cryptic crossword. It is not perfect, I know, and one significant error has been corrected - thanks to my mother for spotting this one. If you are interested, please have a go at it and let me know what you think. mycrossword.co.uk/cryptic/20…

I have created a cryptic crossword puzzle :-) mycrossword.co.uk/cryptic/20… If you have a go I would love some feeback (either on the whole thing or individual clues)

Can We Talk?

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.

Where I live the tories have been power for over 100 years. The Tory candidate, Rebecca Paul fell for Liz Truss hook,line and sinker. Her writing on Truss is adulatory. Luckily we have a really high calibre candidate @StuartBradyLab Let’s go Reigate & Banstead #timeforchange

With polling day tomorrow, I want to say thank you to everyone that has spoken to me, hosted me, and debated with me over the past 6 weeks. I really hope that you consider voting for me tomorrow - the polls are so close. Please do not forget your ID! #reigate #redhill #banstead

This still requires *everyone* to go out and vote for change. We can't take anything for granted. If you want to see it Friday, you gotta go out and vote.

He will worship a child in a manger and starve one in a foodbank Vote him out

Reminder: Nigel Farage loved Liz Truss’s disastrous mini-budget

Vote @StuartBradyLab ! We need everyone to come out and vote! Its going to be close!!!

The race for Reigate (Crispin Blunt's old seat) is very close. The tactical vote is for Labour's Stuart Brady. You can do this Reigate! To find your tactical vote go to stopthetories.vote and type in your postcode.

I can't stress this enough. I want my kids to grow up with an NHS. Rivers that aren't filled with s**t. An end to the epidemic of food banks. Libraries reopened. Trains that run on time. Politicians that don't fake integrity - only to pull poundshop Trump stunts like this.

Another communication from the @Conservatives, in which they helpfully highlight the fact that @UKLabour promises to end the abuse of working people by unscrupulous employers …

Left: Rishi Sunak, "I understand why you're frustrated with our party, with me, I get it.. Before you make that choice, think" Right: The Conservative Party HQ have changed the name of their Twitter account to 'Tax Check UK' which leads you to a website that presents incorrect and misleading information about Labour's tax plans So yes, think. Ask yourself if you can trust a party in government that needs to mislead and tell outright lies to win votes. Because if that's the standard you expect from a Prime Minister and a government, I feel sad for you

This is great policy ... The young people that I have been privileged to teach A Level Maths and Further Maths to for the last few years are intelligent, have common sense and an awareness of the world around them. I trust them to use their votes more than I would many adults.
