Today I was out in the community reviewing issues raised by members of the public. Many of these concerns have been exacerbated by the recent bad weather. I am committed to addressing maintenance and repair needs quickly, and to respond to concerns as they arise. #actdontreact.

Gibraltar takes steps to increase the level of protection to the Crow family (Corvidae), ensuring that no action can be taken risking their presence on the Rock.

Best of luck to the National squad of #Morocco in their CAF Africa Cup of Nations semi-final tonight. #Gibraltar is with you! 🇲🇦

A good start for tiny #Gibraltar 2025 we saw 147 species. I wonder if we could exceed that? #BirdsSeenIn2026 @johncortes.bsky.social

نتمنى لكم السعادة والرخاء والترابط في هذا اليوم المميز. عسى أن تمتلئ بيوتكم بالضحك والحب والبركات.. عيد مبارك سعيد!

Big progress in restoring Gibraltar’s medieval Moorish Castle and Tower and Dungeons. Will be an amazing site to visit, full of history and heritage and with outstanding views of the Mediterranean coast, and the Bay and Strait of Gibraltar with Africa beyond.

Hugely mistaken and unjustified decision to allow hunting of wolves in Spain. Que mal www.infolibre.es/opinion/plaz...

Happy World Sparrow Day!

Wonderful Iftar organised by Muslim Youth of Gibraltar enjoyed by members of the whole of Gibraltarian society. Thank you for the hospitality and for the delicious Moroccan food! 🇲🇦 🇬🇮

. . . and the glorious sunsets and the figtrees in the Alameda gardens…

We often don’t realise the beauty of some of the small patches of natural habitat that have been restored. Take a look at the Romulea clusiana at Nun’s Well, Europa Point, #Gibraltar.

Constructive discussion on language and communication in #Gibraltar schools across sectors concentrating on improving preparedness and protecting bilingualism. Thanks to all the teachers for intense discussion. Looking forward to progressing on these fronts.

New interpretation panels going up around #Gibraltar sharing information on our rich Heritage. You’ll love them! Preview here: ministryforheritage.gi/heritage-and-a…

Lunchtime on #MeatFreeMonday. A delicious vegan meal of courgette fritters, tofu scramble, rocket, and avocado and tomato relishes, accompanied by a coffee with coconut milk. I can do this 😋

Out on my 39th successive GONHS Gibraltar Winter Bird Count. Haven’t missed one since 1987 🙂.

Leafy salad with avocado and olives, vegan burger and sausages with padron peppers for my #MearFreeMonday dinner 😋

They give us unconditional love, devotion & loyalty. They are a reliable source of peace, joy & contentment. That they have made this a better world is an undisputed FACT. 👁️❤️🐶🐕

A very happy Christmas to everyone, and a special thought to all those working today to keep #Gibraltar ticking. Thank you! 🎄 🎄
