Calls to strip pro-democracy activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah of his British citizenship pile torment on top of torture. New piece by me on a dangerous and manufactured storm: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Liberal stronghold would be a great wrestling name

✍🏻 Amandine Fouquenet ➡️ Pauwels Sauzen 🇫🇷 The French champion finally found a team for the coming year after she achieved so many podium spots and a victory even. It's ridiculous that it took such a long time before teams showed interest in such a successful rider. #cycling #CXWorldCup #cyclisme

Ineos, meh 🫤.

Sweeck has had a strong an sandy weekend! #cx

This mornings sunrise over inverness (on my way to work). We’re nearing the shortest day now , so at 8:30am the sun was not above the horizon

Very sad to hear the news that part of the Spey Viaduct on the Moray coast collapsed today, in the floods. Rode it a couple of years back while researching for #LostLanesScotland. (it didn't make it into the book in the end, but it's a lovely and much-loved piece of active travel & leisure infra)

watching lucinda brand ride that off camber bank \ is a thing of beauty #cx

It's not a bad day, but it is a short one up here in Inverness 3pm 🌙 FFS

Do the people against family reunion really hate their own families?

We’ve been out doing path maintenance today! Litter picking, gorse chopping, verges pushed back, leaves 🍂 swept! youtube.com/shorts/9gJdk...

Also Cam Mason !! hell yes to that! (and a good day for Lars one of my other faves)

Blimey! I love how solid Brand is - to show up race after race after race and not drop off the podium, it's just phenomenally strong. Total queen.

Pollution from Ineos’s Antwerp plastic plant ‘will cause more deaths than jobs created’

We're all gonna need to hide...

It's Sunday, it's 8pm so it must be #WildFlowerHour! Please share pix of any wild or naturalised plants you spotted in bloom last week across Britain & Ireland. If you saw 10 different species then you got #thewinter10! Mystery plant? Use #WildFlowerID to summon @wildflowerhour.bsky.social help!

Brand doing Brandy things at the CX! #CXCrush
