@life_arts_lane I think his best quality was knowing when to call it a day. He knew that his days as a romantic lead were over.

@mcopsey @Kevin_Maguire @IanLaveryMP You can make a business case for almost every option available. The skill is not in the drafting of a business case, but the scrutiny of it. That's where honesty and integrity come in.

@DConwayRead My mother was referred for cataract surgery the same way. To be honest, I cannot see (no pun intended) how a GP would diagnose this.

@ToneLangengen @jeegarkakkad Good article, just one point, I believe that Jaguar Land Rover and Mini, have not only decided to develop EV batteries in Slovenia and China, they are moving production of their electric models there from the UK. So that's a double whammy. Car production jobs lost too.

@colinphoenix You have to love Jean-Luc.

[Jon Stokes @JonS1950]

@ToneLangengen I struggle to think when a UK government last had a long term strategy - in any sector - that was properly developed and reached maturity.

Britishvolt's problem was being unable to sign a supply contract with any motor manufacturer, either in the UK or overseas. Who is going to invest in a supplier with no customers?

@colinphoenix Interesting that it's a word from the language of Tierra del Fuego, so you have two smouldering people from the Land of the Fire.

@faisalislam I believe that there is also a potential ROO issue here under the terms of the UK/EU TCA, for EVs being sold in the EU market. @AnnaJerzewska will certainly know and be able to explain it better than I could.

@MarietaEvans @MotorsportsNBC @neilcole Well done Marieta. It must have been a fantastic experience.

I recall that the BBC's Breakfast Time was not that good in the 1980s. The big change happened when they copied the format of the the Channel Four Daily after it ceased in 1992.

@lewis_goodall Is this the future of devolution, every Act passed by a devolved parliament/assembly will be ruled on by the UK Supreme Court when it does not suit the Westminster Parliament? Sounds more like division than devolution.

If Vikings were the navigators that legend says they were, did they understand amphidromic points, even if they didn't realise it?

[Jon Stokes @JonS1950]

I have no idea why, but I am currently watching Vikings Valhalla on Netflix, and the Amphidromic point of tides has popped into my head.

@Herring1967 @KathyBurke Although on his second attempt, he did win gold, silver and bronze medals in a single throw in the javelin competition.

@HeleneBismarck The Home Office now foolishly steps in. https://t.co/EpqpxKaeII

[Home Office @ukhomeoffice]

A statement:

The Home Secretary attended an event last night and took questions, including on immigration policy.

Footage of a conversation with a holocaust survivor is circulating online. The video has been heavily edited and doesn’t reflect the full exchange.

@bricksilk Have you tried asking Chat GPT?

(Sorry couldn't restist.)
