We should have won that. Not good enough, really. I'm not sure bringing Trent on was the best decision. Him coming on seemed to disrupt the team's flow. Oh well. Arsenal did well to pull it back, to be fair. #LIVARS

I don't go in for any of this nonsense about the winner of the Europa League not deserving a place in the UCL, but lads, this really isn't helping the perception of the UEL final as El Crapico.

It was an honour this evening to join the beacon lighting at Southend Cenotaph, commemorating the 80th anniversary of VE Day and remembering the sacrifices made by so many.

This afternoon Cllr Ferguson and I were invited to join residents at Nicholson House, in #KursaalWard at their VE Day event. It was wonderful to hear recollections from 89-year-old Dave about the original VE Day, and to celebrate with everyone, with a fantastic spread put on.

Madness. Both the far-right and far-left being anti-NATO (pro-Russia) is proof positive of the horseshoe theory.

My brave (possibly crazy) ward colleague Cllr Irene Ferguson is going to be running the Hackney Half Marathon this month, to raise money for HARP. The run takes place on 18 May, and if you could spare a pound or two for a good cause, I'm sure it would help spur her on!

Today is the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the day WW2 came to an end in Europe. Today we remember all the sacrifices made 80 years ago, which kept this country free. This evening at 21.00, Southend will light a beacon at the Cenotaph in commemoration. All are welcome to attend.
