Or, to put it less politely, our immigration “debate” is based on lies https://t.co/0s4Rypobk4

@lewis_goodall Spot on Lewis. The 'concreting over nature ' narrative pushed by the CPRE et al drives me insane. Perhaps you could use your platform to educate people about the fact that only 9% of the country is urbanised, and half of that is gardens and parks.

Hey all you Brexiteers. Just wanted to thank you for the £180 data roaming charges that we will have to pay for our forthcoming holiday. (Family of 4 for 3 weeks) I'm just losing count of all those fabulous Brexit benefits.

On several occasions, Farage has popped up on US right wing channels to disparage the NHS. He hates it. Except when it is politically convenient to clap it, as he did during the pandemic. He is a principle free zone.

@IsabelOakeshott @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk But Isabel. Starmer has a clear mandate for an EU re set. It was in their manifesto. It is the will of the people.

English is full of “lexical gaps,” words that are implied to exist but don’t, because we borrowed a bunch of words from Latin but not other, related words. Somebody made a chart to show it↓

People who start loading up the checkout belt before you have finished. Please stop it. It doesn't save any time and is extremely annoying.

Usually @BBCInOurTime is faultless, but the latest one on John Soane was seriously remiss in only giving one passing mention to the Dulwich Picture Gallery. Without doubt, one of his finest buildings and the granddaddy of all traditional art museums. What were they thinking?

@dysonSK3 Back in the day you could avoid ads by using third party twitter apps. But Elon put a stop to that. Let me know if you find out. I share your pain.

The entasis is in both directions. That was some top level bricklaying.

[John Moran @ItsJMoran]

Saltburn on Sea railway station. Brick pilasters with entasis. Don't think I've seen that before.

Listening to the marvellous Andrew Cotter commentating on the athletics at #Paris2024 I’m reminded again of this:

This may be what I would like to do with my time 👇

[Tom Forth @thomasforth]

I am almost sure this is right. I've spoken to friends in France involved in the projects and they say they think I'm right too. But it's hard and if I'm wrong and you've got good sources please let me know so I can delete this thread and write a more correct one.

@mrchrisaddison Can you imagine him doing a constituency surgery? Pity the poor people of Clacton.

Just look at how the rate of increase in life expectancy has been dropping in this country. And it’s not just since COVID/2020. The decline seemed to start around 2010… weird, that.
