Did you see the spectacular Northern Lights last night? Here are some beautiful #aurora images from across the UK... And a reminder of why they have put on such a show and been seen much further south this year: ras.ac.uk/news-and-press/new… #northernlights

We are aware of speculation circulating about a protest in George Square, Glasgow, today. There is no intelligence to suggest any protest is planned. Please be wary of what you read on social media, and avoid speculation and sharing information which my be inaccurate.

Going to Bristol for a far-right protest is like going to Saudi Arabia for a pint.

With all eyes on Westminster today, it feels appropriate to share an early English autochrome of the Houses of Parliament, taken 106 years ago by Herbert Young. Autochromes of London are pretty scarce, so it's nice to have a reason today to tweet it! It is original colour and not colourised.

Saw a pregnant squirrel for the first time today. I’m not sure what I expected but this exceeds all of it.
