The haze of heat may remain, but the shapes and colours of autumn begin to appear. Ah the glory of nature and beautiful, constant change!
It's going to be immense. Spending just a few days at training camps has been an utter privilege and the atmosphere of community, belonging, and striving to always move forward, build, and achieve, is just unsurpassed by almost anything I've experienced elsewhere. Go #TeamUK!

So exciting to be starting this work in earnest. Please encourage any (working age) veterans with hearing impairment to participate!

What a lovely representation of findings, and important discussions. I want to see a second page on the 'so what next?' though!
Ground-breaking review. A lot to digest & more to be done. @kcmhr with @PoppyLegion will begin PhD research in Oct funded by @lissdtp assessing the current health & wellbeing of LGBTQ+ Armed Forces which will support more evidence. @rjgribble @drhowardburdett

After publication of the @LGBTVetReview, we want to remind the LGBTQ+ Armed Forces community that we are here to provide support to anyone who needs it. We want to support veterans affected by the military’s pre-2000 ban on LGBT personnel any way we can. 1/2
It is a *glorious* evening. The vivid colours of nature and warm summer breeze immerse me... sheer contentedness.
Pensioners who served in the military are missing out on vital benefits, worth around £4,000 per year Write to your MP to help us ensure those who have served their country can access the financial support they deserve ➡️ bit.ly/3NUgwRm #CreditTheirService
Very cool to be back at #SummerScience - always amazed and so deeply respectful of the world-changing work teams across the country are doing, on show here. Also pretty fun to have (a very rubbish) go at drumming for the first time in my adult life... not quite here yet!

Very cool.
Truly t-shirt weather today at the wonderful International #WaendalWalk weekend, one of my all-time favourite, genuinely inclusive activities of the year, especially for when I'm on a solo stint... hooray for beautiful, friendly, peaceful walks!
Design that follows behaviour, preferences, and needs, rather than the oh-too-usual design based on one idea or theory of how something should be, which ends up being worked around in reality, and inefficient for everyone... all need review as behaviours and needs evolve though!
Gosh, for reasons I can't quite explain, I find this deeply moving.

Highlight of the weekend for us, if it happens. Here's hoping everyone who's prepared so hard for today gets this moment of joy and celebration. Fun watching the radar tracking in the meantime...

Wow. No matter how much experience I have of misinformation, misinterpretation, and the unbounded potential for humans to believe anything, the absurdity of some things people say and spread still takes me aback.
