Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

A beautiful day for hill walking today. Even if getting to those hills means taking your shoes and socks off and wading knee deep through a river, I’m committed! 🤣 #Scotland #HillWalking #Hiking #Munro #SlowMunro

If you want to see real “two tier policing” look at the unwillingness to use any kind of force against fascists and how much they love unleashing it on pensioners holding signs opposing genocide.

I look forward to the government outlawing anyone chanting or holding signs saying ‘stop the boats’ under terrorism laws. That’s how it works right? Right? 😳 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

Ben Macdui & Derry Cairngorm. The sort of walk where 6/7 hours turn into the best 9 hrs of your life 😅 Misjudged the planning on that one. So many boulders. Rained all day after 45 mins sunshine in the morning. Shout out to my poncho. RIP my sunglasses, lost on the way back. #Scotland #Hiking #Munro

Conival and Ben More Assynt yesterday. Weather worse than forecast, it rained for the most of the day. Huge relief when it cleared up for the last hour. I got some lovely views back to the hills and it allowed my clothes to at least start to dry out before I got back to the car.

The afternoon turned out nice, so a walk with my sisters dog. That boy loves a standing stone. 🤣 It was so quick and easy to get here by public transport, I think I’ll come back on the next nice day to climb GoatFell. Can’t wait to see that trig point! #Scotland

I’m not one for getting out of bed early. I’m one for SAYING I’ll get up early but you know 🤷🏼‍♀️ Today was the exception that proves the rule. I had to make the most of the good forecast! In Ballachulish and walking by 8.30am. A grand day out 💃🏼 #Scotland #HillWalking #Hiking #Munro #SlowMunro

Back out again yesterday, this time up Braeriach. I did this walk from the Sugar Bowl car park, there and back. Great weather. Met a new friend. Saw some reindeer near the summit. My favourite walk of the year so far! #Scotland #HillWalking #Hiking #Munro #SlowMunro

Late post! Yesterdays walk. I fell down every bog on the way round, both feet 😅Started late to get the best of the weather, made for an exceptionally quite day out, only saw 3 other people all day, and 2 of those at a great distance. #Scotland #HillWalking #Hiking #Munro #SlowMunro

Been on Skye for a few days. It could not have rained harder. Did I see the sights? No. The cloud level was about 3m about sea level the whole time. Still, ate great food, walked my sisters dog and swam in the sea. No complaints. I love you Scotland! #Scotland

Yesterday’s walk. Big day, rebuild my hill fitness. This walk was a joy, steep and boggy, lots of fun. I’ve only done those hills from the south before, good to experience all those stairs 😅 I can already feel my sore legs this morning #Scotland #Munro #slowMunro #HillWalking #Hiking

First Munro in 3 months, I’ve been recovering from a back injury. Sgòr Gaoith was the perfect walk for me, I absolutely LOVED it. A joy. No views, I’ll go back and enjoy this walk again. Rain jacket, puffer jacket, gloves and some cool sunglasses 😎🤣 #Munro #SlowMunro #Scotland #HillWalking

It’s been a very slow recovery from this back injury. It’s largely kept me at home, away from the hills. Slowly getting better though, so took a wee test stroll up Conic Hill. Always a treat! #Scotland #HillWalking
