Drove through Burnage today, part of the Gorton and Denton constituency. Placard count: Green 17, Labour 1. No others. This is a solid Labour part of the constituency so not reflective of the overall picture but I think there's a huge swing to Green from Labour in this part. Not scientific though...

Possible future residents checking out the pond. Not last year's pair...

Cat vs Parakeet...

Guests at lunch today...

Starting my day with petition to protect baby ganets from being clubbed to death in a yearly barbaric ritual. Scottish Government will rule on this end of January. Link to petition below & campaign by @protectthewild.bsky.social petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE...

Possibly the most pointless birdbox in the world?

Just witnessed and confronted an appalling racist prick on an e scooter in Fog Lane Park, Manchester, telling an Asisn group that they are not welcome. This is the behaviour being normalised by far right politicians and flag hanging fuckwits.

I didn't think it was that bad... #ShanghaiAgain

Old Trafford today...

Transfer window is still open...

Rodin museum in Shanghai. I had a quick think about going in....

Somebody looked pleased to see me today!

With apologies to anyone in Blackpool, I think Shanghai wins both the tower and illuminations categories....

Yesterday's wildlife 1/3

Just a reminder that cuts to benefits due to Austerity 2.0 wouldn't be necessary if we hadn't left the EU and the Single Market. The Brexit madness is costing us lost revenue, lost taxes, lost funding, lost investment, and so much more! #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Last week's exotic animals were in Shanghai. Today's were at Norton Canes Services a couple of hours ago...

Back home after a week in Shanghai. It seems I'm not the only one waiting for the goslings to hatch...

Today's walk...

Not sure what this is. Unless the blue tits are exceptionally well fed here...

Found something new on my morning walk today...

I didn't expect commentary on the in flight map today..

Today's unsolicited goose picture...

Best advice I've received this week...

Change of venue for breakfast this morning. The ducks have discovered the back garden...

"It’s worrying that you’ve got the Conservative party and the Reform party, the parties on the right, not willing to stand up for British values. And I think people are going to see that. "Standing up to Trump is the only way to make a deal with him." @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Keir Starmer, Trump has given you an undeniable reason to rejoin the EU. Now is not the time to be alone in the world. DO IT.

Donald Trump’s proposal for Gaza is bizarre and dangerous. The UK cannot remain silent.

Hey Peeps Another of those clickbait polls from the Daily Excess. Starmer is definitely leading ATM, but would be nice to get Ed Davey into 2nd. xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

My friends have arrived home after a few months away. Waiting by my doorstep for breakfast....

NRM has officially stopped using Twitter (X). Celebrate with us by giving us a follow! Thanks! 🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺 #RejoinEU

That's all folks....

Moorhen proximity alert...

Anyone calling to Farage to account for this disaster, everything he said demonstrably untrue? Oh no, I forgot we now must flounder under the new Brexit lie: how it was delivered wrong and could still be great. FFS www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

That's last year finished...

Today's birthday "Treat" was to watch United get stuffed yet again on TV (picture from a different fixture). On the positive side, it was a major improvement on 2022 when I got a cancer diagnosis instead. Excited for next year 😀 #ShitBirthdayPresents #FuckMyeloma

Rejoin the Single Market and then fully rejoin the EU. The obvious choice. The only sensible choice. Screw Brexit. UK and EU look to 2025 for reset, but with little room for trade-offs www.bbc.com/news/article...

A special request from Blacksocks. Should you see his friends being hunted on this #BoxingDayHunt, please do your best to sabotage the hunt. Meanwhile, you will find me in the forest. Good morning! #FoxofTheDay #12DaysofFoxmas #wildlifephotography #photography #ThePhotoHour

So the Romanian Courts have overturned the election results because of Russian interference. Any chance we could do the same with #Brexit?
