Remember to take a bit of time to spend some time outside if you can please. 🌿

I am heartbroken to hear of the attack on a Manchester synagogue today, shaking our city again.

In the words of Tony Walsh, "this is a place where we stand strong together."

Look out for one another, folks.

When you inhale and when you exhale
breathe the possibility of another world
into the 37.2 trillion cells of your body
until it shines with hope.

Then imagine more.

Things I don't like in a boat: refugees risking unsafe journeys

We had a blast at Manchester Pride over the weekend, celebrating 50 years of queer hope and joy, and continuing the protest for LGBTQ+ safety and equality.

Did you spot us in the Parade or meet our Village Angels at the gates? 🌈🪧🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Imagine if progressive protests got coverage from such a small turnout 🤯

2 mini-islands on my road now painted to be Saint George's flags.

I don't think quoting legislation about what the council does or doesn't allow in terms of flag poles etc is an adequate or even helpful response to what is going on in the UK at the moment.

It's my birthday tomorrow, making me officially 'late 30s'. In response, I'm downloading the Pokemon Go app again.

Pride-nails are ready. It must be time for Manchester Pride! 🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💗

Tell me again this isn't the rise of fascism?

Blessed be the fruit 🚩

Interestingly the people who seem most clocked on to it that I know are European... They've seen it happening in Italy, Germany, Spain...

So many folks still in denial about the direction of travel, or submitting to the inevitableness. There's still time to fight fascism, folks!

Please remember to have a glass of water. 💧

Oh what fun! Bristol International Balloon Fiesta 🎈

Add you name to the long list of educators, parents and public figures that have already done so.

Our kids were let down under Section 28. I was one of them. It scarred me deeply and I’m far from unique. We must not fail them again.

Stretford Pride was gorgeous! So wholesome. The sun even came out.

In recent weeks, we've seen refugee hotels attacked across the UK, and mobs spreading the same racist violence we saw on our streets last year.

It's time for our politicians and media to stop pushing hateful, divisive rhetoric, or this violence will only keep spreading.
