A Parliament which began with promises of “levelling up” ends with money promised to the North being redirected back to London. Britain needs major change. #HeadNorth

If this loaf has been superseded, why is it still being sold @Tesco ? Very perplexing….

@CarlBovisNature @Bempton_Cliffs Thank you! That’s very kind

@simonpringle @Bempton_Cliffs They're wonderful photos Simon! 👏😊

Lovely couple of days out at @Bempton_Cliffs and Flamborough Head - watching the birds and enjoying the playful seals! Thanks for all the inspiration @CarlBovisNature - I think I need a bit more practice but hopefully a step in the right direction!!

I did wonder what was going on in #Bridlington - Wagner Group arrives at North Yorkshire caravan park for break thedailymash.co.uk/news/internati…

On another early morning @LNER train down to London from York and, as it slowed down at exactly the right moment to spy five or six hares running around in the same large field. That made the 05.00 alarm feel a lot more worthwhile

Nearly 6 months old but still my favourite photo of the year to date… #knaresborough

What a glorious thread!!

@MayorofLondon Which is great. Meanwhile, in the North, of the five trains due to travel the 36 miles between #Leeds and #Manchester between 10.00 and 10.30 this morning, two are cancelled, one is delayed and the others take more over and hour and a quarter. #levellingup

With this new timetable: 💜 Central London trains will arrive around every 2.5 minutes 💜 Heathrow Airport will have more regular services 💜 Journeys from Reading, Heathrow & into central London will be quicker 💜 Essex & west London will be linked on the line for the first time

A few days before the first anniversary of the Elizabeth Line, I am pleased to announce its final milestone: the introduction of our new timetable. #Echobox=1684712174" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">independent.co.uk/news/uk/passen…

@timgbenton is the king of PowerPoint slides. 15 years of developing the picture of how the food system is being disrupted by big geopolitical and climate events @ciwf Citizens need to drive the change.

Here's a view of Vadret da Tschierva and Piz Roseg in 1935 (left) vs 2022 (right). Glaciers melting and rising sea levels, which hit a record high in 2022, are expected to persist for thousands of years. This is the #StateOfClimate. 🔗 bit.ly/stateofclimate…

@Baddiel Ah that’s great. I agree - they are very special

Whenever I’m in Birmingham I go and see these, Edward Burne-Jones’ stained glass windows in the cathedral. The colours and detail are amazing.

In a hotel in Birmingham watching a channel called That’s 60s. The music’s very upbeat but sadly every single advert is for Life Insurance or Co-Op Funerals.
