‘Wounda’ I was commissioned to paint this piece by @JaneGoodallUK and the piece was sold at auction, raising just under £20,000 for the charity.
For those of you who don’t know, Wounda was rescued from the illegal pet trade, close to death.
Wounda is believed to be the first chimp in Africa to receive a chimp-to-chimp blood transfusion and survived to have a baby - Hope!
I am now a proud chimp guardian of both Wounda and Zeze, who are enjoying their retirement at the @JaneGoodallInst sanctuaries.
We are delighted to share the newest self-guided walking trail in Wick, showcasing the incredible local war history we have on our doorstep!
Ellie and Murray were honoured to attend the launch of the Caithness at War trails launch a few weeks ago...
Watch until the end to see the finished piece!
You can bid on this piece, which is going up for auction at the @BornFreeFDN gala on Thursday. https://t.co/Gh1Afqgjr5
"Swimmer suing over sewage could inspire new ‘Post Office’-style TV drama."
Once again @ofwat / @EnvAgency please explain why a member of the general public is having to get out there are do your bloody job for you?

My hand nearly froze off taking this photo but it soon came back to life in my winter mitts.

Retweet/like if you think we should start a petition to get Paula Vennells CBE removed?
If there's enough interest I think we should, least we can do for those that have suffered

Anyone else think @Feargal_Sharkey should be awarded a knighthood for his relentless campaigning to expose the water pollution scandal?
Like & share if you agree
(A sainthood may be more appropriate… you need the patience of one to put up with this 💩)

I just signed the petition calling on Paula Vennells, the former CEO of the Post Office to be stripped of her CBE. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVSThePostOffice https://t.co/o2NAPPpeuW via @38degrees
Anyone who has power over another must be subject to checks and balances.
The Post Office - Horizon scandal is one of the worst examples of this basic democratic freedom going horribly wrong.
During my time chairing @CommonsBTC we found six key problems 🧵👇
I was one of these £38,000 they took from me , bankrupted myself and my wife and destroyed our business and life . Share with anyone and everyone #MrBatesVsThePostOffice#MrBates
Please also read the book by @nickwallis who has played a massive part
Alan Bates turned down an OBE as Paula Vennells, the woman in charge of the Post Office through the Horizon Scandal, retains her CBE and refuses to give it back.
A man of honour 🙏🏼❤️

Alan, 69: “The first thing that sprang to my mind while reading the letter (offering me an OBE) was Paula Vennells still had a CBE. I felt so deeply insulted. She presided over a policy of harassing hundreds of innocent people. It’s not just that the Government hasn’t asked her to return it. What’s even worse is that despite knowing the strength of feeling about it, how people have suffered and some cases died on her watch – she doesn’t feel inclined to give it back.”
Alan accepted a @PrideOfBritain award in 2023.
We were over the moon to give that to him.
Not all heros wear capes 💜

GREAT NEWS
My campaign to limit the number of people retweeting this partygate clip and causing any upset to the Conservatives has made great progress I'm now so confident that nobody will RT it that I am going to tag in @Conservatives so they can see how well we're doing
Thanks
