Shocking scenes of my hometown of Manchester submerged under flood water, collapsing canals, rivers bursting their banks. Embankment of 18th-century canal in Cheshire collapses after flooding. amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

From on high in Manchester, on clear days like this, you can glimpse the Pennine hills in the distance…

Honoured to be part of the exhibition ‘A Trail of Inspiration: The Pennine Way at 60’ in the Yorkshire Dales, Dales Countryside Museum - my panel showcases my epic walk of the Pennine Way chronicled in I BELONG HERE. 🍃👣 Very surreal to be on display in a museum!

Heartbroken to hear of the death of the wonderful writer Alex Wheatle Alex Wheatle, with whom I was honoured to share both stages & pages. Fondly remembering our event for Common People anthology Deer Shed Festival along with Tony Walsh Julie Noble. Rest in Power, Alex.

Dr Anita Sethi 🍃 , I'm currently reading I Belong Here and although not my normal reading, I think it's brilliant! A must read for anyone. From the Manchester area myself so the geography resonates with me, but the points you eloquently make are fabulous. Only half way through!!!

Six years ago this Friday - six years on & it’s heartbreaking that the hostile environment which fuels this kind of racial abuse has just worsened thanks to that repugnant island of strangers speech.

Absolutely stunning, defiant performance from Bruce Springsteen & the E Street band here in Manchester right now - yes he repeated his speech against Tr*mp even more forcefully! & setlist variation - he has sung The River and Atlantic City which weren’t sung on Wednesday!

Back to the original meaning of ‘tweet’ - delighted that my debut episode writing & presenting BBC Radio 4’s Tweet of the Day programme will be broadcast on 1st June. #birdsong #birdwatching #nature
