This has to be one of the eeriest photos I’ve ever taken. We are slowly heading from the Rockies to Vancouver and stopped in wine country. There are wildfires are here and the smoke is everywhere. I feel sorry for the locals - not only are their lives affected but tourism is dead.
This is not misinformation. That's what I normally cover - something out of context, an opinion quoted as fact, or a deliberate misinterpretation... This is none of those. This is full-on disinformation. Because that is NOT from the Express. It is entirely fake😱 🧵 1/10
Some lovely #streetArt in downtown Revelstoke .. in fact there’s a whole alley with artwork. #canada
This #canada trip is go go go. An 0900 flight from YYZ (wait, didn’t I hear that last night?) to YVR and we now have a train. A very long one by the looks of things.
Thanks to @rushcon.bsky.social we started the day with a friendly voice 🎸 or more at #Henderson brewing, Toronto Onto the concert next.
Really enjoying being a tourist in Toronto. Took a ferry to Ward’s Island for a walk, coffee, a swim in Lake Ontario and lunch. Dinner in the city tonight ready for a #Rush day tomorrow
Exciting times ahead. 1 day to go before we take to the air for #YYZ. Kind of hoping for an hour or so delay so we can land at 2112. We have 48 hours to get over jet lag before the main event on Sunday evening. #RushCon at #henderson booked that day but any other suggestions welcome #RushFamily.
Back home from an Italian tour and no post holiday blues as we booked a lovely meal at #ParisHouse #woburn. The setting is awesome (no photos) and the #food too
Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan
Thouroughly enjoyed our trip to Pompeii yesterday, despite the heat. Its still sad to think of the disaster here 2000 years ago but some art still survives
Pretty busy and somewhat chaotic at #Firenze main station on a Saturday morning. But thanks to @seatsixtyone.bsky.social we’ve prebooked our tickets and seats on a long trip to #pompei
Have had a glorious weekend at the #Puccinifestival near Pisa / Lucca. first #Turandot and the n#Tosca. I the well done but the performance of Tosca was the standout.
The more I've looked at this story, the angrier I've become. Misleading headlines designed to push a divisive narrative are bad enough. But headlines that risk vulnerable people doing something they’re not allowed to do are deeply irresponsible. 1/3

Ah who doesn’t love a great day out in the countryside? Particularly with thousands of others enjoying some great #music. Thanks #IronMaiden for the #fun
If a certain beer brand did food, this would be the best Indian in the world. Very impressive lunch at #Amaya in London. A variety of quite different herbs and spices on a range of foods. #delicious
Lovely morning #coffee - a Fathers’ day gift from to my favourite daughter 😉 A blueberry co-ferment from the south of Colombia. Courtesy of allcapscoffee.com
Pass this on. You never know who might need it and it could make a huge difference if someone is struggling for whatever reason
Tesco is extending its Kids Eat Free scheme to 7 days a week over the summer, where children get a free meal with an adult purchase, but honestly, this detail about how small the adult purchase can be broke my heart.
It’s not #food #art or #music but it’s most certainly #travel. Thanks to @headforpoints.com and the various sponsors for a lovely evening in central London. Remember folks, points mean prizes. ✈️
Am glad to be able to escape the big world and return to #polperro and admire a Cornish fishing village that really hasn’t changed in years. Oh and enjoy some bands, beers and convivial folk at #polperrofestival
I can’t say how excited I am to have two sets of tickets to see these guys live this year and next. Love the song choice.
Here's RUSH's The JUNO Awards performance from earlier this evening! Finding my waaaay!!!!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVw-...
We are pleased to announce a second date at Pompeii! Tickets on sale on November 11th 2026 at 1.00pm UK time
