@RobertO30353177@SkyNews Very poor interview with #EllieReeves on @SkyNews. Unconvincing style, repetitive and she was reading from her notes at three points in the interview - she literally couldn’t remember Labour’s achievements in government! Car crash is accurate. @UKLabour@elliereeves
@SueQ1776 @acnewsitics A British gentleman would never wear a black suit - it is unthinkable. Grey or blue, white shirt, black tie - that is what is accepted in traditional British culture.
@acnewsitics In the UK, a gentleman would never wear a black lounge suit. It is the domain of waiters. You would wear a dark grey or blue suit to a funeral, with white shirt and black tie. Exactly what Prince William was wearing.
@JohnRentoul It clearly deeply irks those who support Labour - it precisely encompasses the lack of experience and ignorance of our chancellor.
How Labour crashed the economy.
Yet another cold day in which UK depends on gas to generate almost 50% of our electricity, with wind managing only 12%. We’re importing 17% from various European neighbours, almost half of that from France (we’d better hope its aging nuclear stations hold up this winter), contributing to our perennial balance of payments deficit.
Plus — so much for Miliband’s mission to banish fossil fuels and lead us to energy independence through renewables.
Surely this cannot be right?
Chancellor Rachel Reeves is describing her China trip as a 'significant milestone' in re-engagement with Beijing, saying she has agreed deals worth £600m to the UK economy. If that’s it, it wasn’t worth the journey.
For China it’s not even small change. It’s not that much for UK either — we’re a £2.7 trillion plus economy!
And it’s £600m over five years. So a piddling £120m a year. The NHS spends that of a morning.
These things are always settled in advance. If that is truly all that was on offer she should never have gone. Unless the full picture has yet to be revealed, she really has come back empty handed.
🧵a thread:
Loyalty Status 💳 & Money 💰
Relating your "exact" spending to your loyalty tier points (status points) is never a good idea.
British Airways just did that. "You’ll collect 1 Tier Point for every £1 of eligible spend*"
The way the just announced British Airways (Executive) Club changes have rocked the Facebook group. Never seen such outrage 😂 - in summary they’re just tying status to spend, not complex (and gameable) tier point legs.
Can anyone at @British_Airways explain what business problem they were trying to solve with these Tier Point changes? I see lots of unhappy customers but can’t see how it helps BA? And the attempt to say it is all justified based on customer feedback or evolving loyalty is poor.
Just when you think @British_Airways are making the right strides in improving their product they go and shoot themselves in the foot with their Tier Points changes. On what planet were a majority of members feeding back saying "it's too easy to obtain status"?
Seeing #BritishAirways copping, rightly, a lot of heat for their tier points changes. Problem is that BA still behaves like it provides a premium service. It hasn’t for years. Been Ryanair with better uniforms for at least a decade.
