I've tried to stick with X because I fundamentally disagree with being pushed out of spaces by right wing extremists & the loss of moderate voices allows that space to become more of an echo chamber. Trying out blue sky for a bit @SportFixYorks #Harrogate #SportsTherapy

1st August, best day of the year! #YorkshireDay #Yorkshire #Harrogate

Here in London you are free to be whoever you want to be, and love whoever you want to love. As long as I'm your Mayor, that will never change. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ An amazing day at #PrideInLondon ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷

We don't need to choose between well-being & medicine (often focus of Joe Rogan podcasts). "The best health outcomes often come from combining medicine with a broader view of health that includes movement, diet, social connection and mental wellbeing." https://t.co/xjdp7tHkwb

1385 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. 925 days since they barred women from university. This will go down as one of the great betrayals of the 21st century. A generation of girls, locked out, while the world looked away.

A hundred years ago, the Seine was declared too polluted to swim in. Today, it’s open again. A reminder that with investment and political will, rivers can be brought back to life. In the end, it’s a choice.

Health minister Aneurin Bevan marked the creation of the National Health Service #OTD 1948 by attending a ceremony at Park Hospital, Davyhulme (later renamed Trafford General), where he symbolically received the keys. I had my tonsils out there in 1960.

My car smells like Grimsby docks. Might need a recommendation for a car valeting service in #Harrogate when my tour of the Northeast ends 😂🫢😷🐟🐟🐟

Epic lunch at Riley's fish shack in Tynemouth, arrived in Wooler and the B&B lady said "I've left you some snacks..." 😲 (Which will obviously help me fit back in my wetsuit. Maybe the melted chocolate will be a helpful lubricant!? 😂👍) 🏊🏊🏊

I made a conscious decision today: do not use any photo of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in tears on p1. Many outlets will revel in her turmoil, but I just can’t and refuse to. My reasons are myriad: I know the critics will hammer me, but chief among them: be kind. Be decent.

Couple of days off in the Northeast after an intense few days. Recommendations for things to do between Tynemouth and Wooler appreciated. Not gonna lie, sun bathing is an unlikely option ☔🌧️ If not I'll go for the one below 👇😎😂 #Northeast #Tynemouth

When you're cleaning out some old paperwork and find a little reward for your efforts... 😘😁 #SeanBean #Sharpe

An evening stroll round the city walls was a good way to burn off some conference calories. It's something I've not done for a good few years, and the weather was perfect. #York

End of day one, evening stroll, love York 😍

Looking forward to the next couple of days 🤓 #NIHR #SSCR2025 #SocialCare #SocialCareResearch @YHCuriosity @NIHRSSCR

Restored my 40yr old syphalitic gnome this afternoon, so that was productive. 😂🎨🖌️ Syphalis can present as an MSK issue, such as tendon problems, in later stages. Something for Sports Therapists to consider. Fortunately it can be treated before your nose drops off these days.

I am now recruiting for my #dclinpsych thesis! If you are interested in taking part, please contact me on barcher1@liverpool.ac.uk. #deafresearch #deaf #identity #wellbeing

My Mum wants you to know she had the pasta, but it was so delicious she ate 3/4 of it before remembering she hadn't taken a picture. She's not retiring on her influencer income 😂😂😂

Soooo full, it's the law that someone else should cook on Bank Holidays and @STUZZIHARROGATE even did the washing up 😂😋😎🍹🍕🍰

Despite the 25Deg weather, I was not tempted to take a swim.... 😳😬🐟🐟🐟

At an age where I spend my days off round garden centres and country houses. Bit tulip obsessed this year tbh.
