You might need a reminder of this country's better nature today. I really did. Well here it is.
a lovely afternoon break to attend the citizenship ceremony of the first refugee we hosted 6.5 years ago. From being homeless after standard rapid refugee status eviction w barely any English to now having a good job as a licenced building site lift operator. #RefugeesAtHome 1/3

I reflected today how well union bosses are handling public debate and often tricky lines of live questioning. Especially in comparison to Tory MPs I came to the conclusion its prob much easier to speak when you aren't trying to remember the chain of untruths you've already spun

How many of you know what Cruella Braverman's Public Order Bill contains? It's frankly unbelievable: legislation you might expect in Russia, Iran or Egypt. Here's a summary from my column today:

I'm 86, I've seen 17 Prime Ministers, some good, some bad - but Boris Johnson is the first who through a mixture of arrogance incompetence and dishonesty has actually managed to make the people less healthy and less wealthy, whilst simultaneously undermining democracy. Go. Now.

It would be a fitting end to the pandemic if the entire government was brought down by a Zoom quiz

In addition to @Type2Twins (coz everyone needs a hobby) I have relaunched my YouTube channel, focusing on bikepacking. You know, just in time for not being allowed to do any... Would love it if you subscribe and shared! youtu.be/eDaR8seTumQ

Last Halloween we shared a scary movie about what @halfironmum did last summer (do you see what I did there?) If you haven’t seen it yet, today is a good day! If you have seen it, why not spoil yourselves and watch it again? youtu.be/B2haJk_yKjo

Shortest of all the weeks swims today (as the lake was really too shallow) but for some reason I just can’t get warm. This is me 2 hours later

Swim number 4 turned out to be a bit abortive - very shallow, but I did get wet at least and it was beautiful.

Only a short dip today. But that makes 3 swims in 3 different lochs in 3 days. Ruined the teenagers lives by getting changed by the car on a residential street

Does a Monday morning get much better than this?!
