A wonderful day on Friday at the Canal & River Trust Awards at Anderton along with Sharron & Naomi from the Trust. So many people & organisations helped make the 250th of Bingley Five & Three Rise such a fantastic day. Pity we didn’t win though 🤣 canalrivertrust.org.uk/about…

So wrong 😡🤬 #IStandWithCarini
The Olympics allowed a biological man, Imane Khelif, to fight as a woman despite his XY chromosomes. The end result? “I have never been hit so hard in my life.” Italian Olympian Angela Carini lasted 46 seconds before quitting due to how painful it was. It’s just shameful that the Olympics allowed this abuse. Look at the defeat on her face. She worked her whole life for this only to have her moment stolen by a man and she knows the left will cheer for the man beating women… Think about that. Evil. #IstandwithAngelaCarini

The @MayorofLondon Chairman Khan wants the serfs out of the fresh air and down under ground in the toxic smog where you belong.

So, I find myself 30ft in the air up a tree in Wellingborough- surrounded by police, security & tree surgeons- trying to prevent an illegal tree felling. How did I end up here? Here’s an outrageous story of nature destruction & collusion between authorities & private developer 🧵

A fabulous morning at Buckingham Palace to receive my MBE from Prince William. The award has my name on it but it’s definitely an award for everyone at OPAL. Ailsa Rhodes MBE
