Shrewsbury hospital gets so much bad press but I have been there this weekend with my mum in law receiving emergency care and the whole team and organisation from start to finish has been excellent. Care has been second to none. Thank you 👌🏻 #Shropshire #NHS

Got a spare £1.4m? Come and buy the centrepiece of my #WestrayBirding local patch! Noup Farm (inc Noup Head - lighthouse not included - Loch of the Stack and your own white sand beach and bay), here in Westray. Great bird list and potential. Comes complete with resident birder.

Well, everyone. Since we've all had a hell of a few years, and things have shifted a bit in the last 24 hours - I think we deserve a treat. Time for the kitten seen from underneath photo? Oh, I think so. We've all been very good. We deserve it.

I just saw this resumé of events from Ian Dunt. He sounds very optimistic. what Democrats have learned here—from the rare times when they controlled both houses of Congress AND the White House—there's a small window of time–right up front—to get almost everything done. you have to go for it. fast.

I hope we can start looking at a system of Proportional Representation voting system. This is how it would have looked based on yesterday's results: www.electoral-reform.org.uk/how-the-2024...

Dear Keir Starmer, This Puffin has no idea who you are. Yet your decisions will affect them, and all UK wildlife, immensely. We need you to prioritise nature from day one. You've got a lot on, we know. But #NatureCantWait. Kind regards, RSPB

At least the Greens will get as much coverage as Reform across all the channels now.

Light and dark - a rainbow flashes across the sky above Titterstone Clee. I always think the radar domes look like something out of a science fiction film, but they lie within the ramparts of a hill fort dating back to the late Bronze Age or early Iron Age. #Shropshire

This morning Shrewsbury has a Labour MP! Congratulations Julia Buckley! Hooray! And I'm so relieved to get shut of Tory Daniel Kawcynski.

Oh how lovely, Daniel Kawczynski has lost by a big swing to Labours Julia Buckley in Shrewsbury. The lemon has gone, and now hopefully some who might vote to clean up the river. #DKLemonDay #Shrewsbury.

Almost a Lib Dems win in South Shropshire. Only 1600 votes in it. The predicted polling had Labour with a much stronger support than the result.

North Shropshire returns the brilliant Helen Morgan, who has done so well since she won the by-election. #Shropshire

Chris Grayling is on his way to the House of Lords. There is no sanity in the world.

If you haven't followed Jo before, there's an excellent book called Secrets of a Devon Wood to look out for. www.nhbs.com/secrets-of-a...
