I am immensely proud that the NHS I work in is one of the most multi-ethnic and diverse organisations in the world. NHS colleagues and emergency workers from many countries and faiths work around the clock to serve every UK community. You have my utmost appreciation and respect.

The sea holly along the #SeftonCoast is coming into bloom, their pale lavender blue flowers attract pollinators and this six spot burnet moth.

Last night, as the sun sank towards the sea off Crosby beach it lowered into the haze of the atmosphere and, robbed of its brightness, became a glowing orb of saturated colour. A wonderful calm end to a clear day. @IronMenCosby
