Hi, has anyone seen Mr Pickle, please? Gone out around 8pm and not been back. Completely unlike him. I'm incredibly worried as he's young and not street wise at all. Thanks!
We're around Totterdown street.

@James_Barr Conwy Castle. Hands down. The perfect representation of a medieval fortress that dominates the skyline of a town that’s got a lot going for it in it’s own right.

The UK has repeatedly urged Israel to end illegal settlement expansion in the West Bank. The decision to proceed with new settlements in Givat HaMatos separates Palestinians in East Jerusalem from Bethlehem, and threatens the viability of a two state solution.

Dr Saeb Erekat was a champion of dialogue and Palestinian rights. I am saddened to hear the news of his tragic passing. My thoughts are with his family and the Palestinian people at this difficult time.

I'm saddened by what we're seeing happening across the US and the underlying issues that have led to this moment.

The issue of racial inequality is one that we all need to tackle and peaceful protests are a very important part of a free society.

"Deeply saddened by the death yesterday of Iyad Khairi Hallak after he was shot by Israeli police in East Jerusalem. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. Hope lessons will be learned and every effort made to avoid unnecessary loss of life in future."

Can’t recommend @1917 enough. A remarkably powerful, well-made and well-acted film. Make it the first thing you see at the cinema in 2020.

The UK’s power stations went without burning any coal for 5 days last week, beating previous records. Coal accounts for less than 10% of Britain’s yearly output and will be completely phased out by 2025 #cleangrowth @UKUN_NewYork @beisgovuk

@thehistoryguy Thanks @thehistoryguy - enjoy your tweets! It was his “toughest action” up to that point though, surely? I’d say his not returning from Trafalgar four years later was ultimately his toughest...

It's good to be back on Twitter.
