@macinnes_neil @MancLibraries In FRAMES! Wow, that’s so nice - not seen those in years! Thanks Neil. I’ve gone over to the dark side now and SELL books!

Hello @BBCSpringwatch Where are the kingfishers? We’re travelling on a narrowboat and have barely seen a single one this year. So sad! What’s happening?

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Schools are places of learning, growth and joy. In Gaza, they have been turned into places of trauma, death and grief.

What kind of world are we living in when this kind of horror becomes part of our weekly or even daily routine?

How have we allowed these atrocities to become so normalised?

We must continue to speak up for a ceasefire, an end to arms sales to Israel, and the only path to a just and lasting peace: an end to the occupation of Palestine.

@WD_CFC Yesssss!!!! Come on West! Actually find myself in Barnoldswick today and the sense of disappointment on the streets is there for all to see.

@BBCSpringwatch Eek! First nightjar horror, now buzzards! Love @LeifBersweden and amazing orchids. More lovely, non-murderous botany, please.

@CRTNorthWest Hi there! Yes, we’re fine now thanks, no worries. Gate lowered and we’re on our way. Harbourmaster issue, not CRT. Your local people were dead helpful.

[Linsey Parkinson @ChinUpDuck]

@CRTNorthWest are you opening the gate out of Albert Dock? We booked Liv Link and can’t get out!

[Linsey Parkinson @ChinUpDuck]

Unbelievable.

WE NEED EVERY SINGLE FOLLOWER TO RT THIS

We have spotted something during Simon Thompson’s car crash interview on the BBC this morning.

Having zoomed in, someone is in the room writing answers on a board for him.

Pack your bags, Thompson. It’s time to go.

I don't tweet much, but I bloody love Mick Lynch.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

A Daily Mail journalist asks Mick Lynch from the @RMTunion whether he's proud of being known as 'Mick Grinch'.

@TikiJon10 @davesumnersmith @BorisJohnson Ew! Imagine how often that sticky palm has been greased, re-greased and greased again.

Hey @CanalRiverTrust - we just wanted to say a BIG thankyou to/for your brilliant volunteer, Andrew, at Northgate Locks in #Chester. A huge help going up the staircase (scarier than going down!), a great teacher (give a girl a fish!) and a splendid chap.
