Great interview by @TomBrady . This is fundamentally a tragic story of a kid who lost his mother in the most appalling circumstances - and never found the support to emerge from that darkness. #harry

Central london and its parks immaculate already this morning. Not a piece of litter in sight. A huge thank you to the hundreds who must have worked through the days and nights on this entire amazing operation.

Last night after the game, my son walked into a london pub, where a group of pissed blokes told him he was Harry McGuire, lifted him up , sang the Harry McGuire song and paraded him joyfully around the pub. Then he walked home again. Not sure he even had a drink #ENG

We took a closer look at p48 of the Tory manifesto... @maitlis : Is this a shifting away from a legal framework, to a political framework? @LordCFalconer : It is... so if Mr Johnson becomes PM again, he won't be restrained by the courts from acting unlawfully #Newsnight | #GE19
