We don't need your money, money, money
Just wanna have the same access
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the, uh, cha-ching, cha-ching

Proud to share the best of the South West with @AmbJapanUK

And slightly embarrassed that the Japanese Ambassador can say “gert lush” in a better Bristolian accent than I can!

10 yrs ago I had the privilege of donating my stem cells to a stranger through @AnthonyNolan

Today I heard from @NHSBT the recipient remains stable and has now been discharged from Bone Marrow Transplant long-term follow up.

Donation v easy sign up 👇

NO cervical cancer cases detected in vaccinated women following HPV immunisation!

None! Zero!

The HPV vaccine ie a modern medical miracle!

What Keir Starmer is currently asking the country to believe is that he decided to appoint Peter Mandelson as Ambassador to Washington, the most sensitive post in the UK diplomatic service, without a single piece of paper recording or documenting the decision.

"if we're kind and polite, the world will be right". happy pride month! 🐻🏳️‍🌈

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

Peter Mandelson is basically Keir Starmer's motorhome.

[Christiane Link @Christiane]

Well the career as psychic is ruined now too.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Peter Mandelson sent David Lammy a personal hand-written note saying he would "never regret" appointing him US Ambassador

[Christiane Link @Christiane]

That’s the way. They become a serious problem.

@davwheat_ @SteveWhiteRail Yes, I understand. I don't think it's right. TfL does it right. They release a lot of accessibility data as Open Data for free, which leads to far better information in third-party apps. There is no need to gatekeep this if they still want third-party ticket sales.

[Christiane Link @Christiane]

Ooooh, I can now buy a ticket and book assistance in one go in the Southeastern App. Not buy the ticket, remember the train, start a new process, book assistance.

[Christiane Link @Christiane]

@davwheat_ @SteveWhiteRail That’s a good point actually. The PA app should have been an API not an app anyway.

[Christiane Link @Christiane]

@SteveWhiteRail It’s really good. I always use the app because it’s fast and doesn’t ask any unnecessary questions (except the ORR feedback question but I know that’s not your fault). I haven’t used the original PA app for 3 years. I might buy my tickets in the SE app now too.

[Christiane Link @Christiane]

@MikScarlet No, I just think if they knew how clueless and ignorant they are. I‘m the right person for the job, they aren’t.
