@BrucePartington @VeteranIrish That’s funnier than the original joke. Thanks.

[Jonathan Lucas @Jonth]

@FreddyQuinne Possibly too kind to Scotland.

@AukeHoekstra Well, by the real world numbers in the report , PHEV emissions are still 20% lower than ICE, so let’s not lose sight of that: hybrids better than non-hybrids.

@bennyjohnson @StephenM I call bullshit on this. According to axios only 5% of California’s population is estimated to be undocumented (ie illegal)

@char1iewatts There’s a Bristol south of the river?

@carmenpojp2003 @GinieSigonney Not quite. Concorde returned to service in 2001 after the crash but was retired in 2003.

@awilkinson This tweet is a perfect demonstration of the thing it is trying to describe. Why use 30 words when 300 will do?

Whoever wrote this needs to take an exam on writing: surely a key point in reporting on a “too hard” test is to give examples of what was so hard? https://t.co/sE70DL25Xy

@badobsessionmsp You mean it’s still not finished?! I was expecting some kind of triumphalist montage with a champagne launch. Followed by another video of how you reworked 25% of the brackets while taking out the dent caused by the bottle.

@crookedfootball My direct experience contradicts this. My fellow parents are British lawyers, consultants, engineers, doctors & university lecturers (and other professions). Very few foreign pupils.

I can’t help but notice that Twitter is still up & running.

[Jonathan Lucas @Jonth]

@crookedfootball I guess that’s fair - but I believe that is what central bankers too.

[Jonathan Lucas @Jonth]

@crookedfootball I believe it because literally every central bank in the world does (except Turkey, which currently has inflation running at 80% after Erdogan ordered a reduction in rates because he believed the opposite effect)

[Jonathan Lucas @Jonth]

@crookedfootball And “redistributive effects towards borrowers” sounds awfully like “tax savers to pay other peoples mortgages.”

[Jonathan Lucas @Jonth]

@crookedfootball Raising interest rates is the only reliable way I am aware of that reduces inflation. What are these other fiscal tools you speak of?

[Jonathan Lucas @Jonth]

@crookedfootball Interest rates are going to have to rise to bring inflation down. I don’t know what the right rate is, but it’s definitely more than what it is now. The days of ridiculously cheap (or printing) money are over.

[Jonathan Lucas @Jonth]

@crookedfootball With inflation at 10% and interest rates at 2%, no saver should be happy right now.

Happy birthday to Charlie Rodgers. #GoGlos

@NickBryantNY He’s working to rule (oh, the irony). He sees the victory as an assured year of safety from challenge. He won’t leave unless he absolutely has to, by law or party rule.

@F1 My sofa. If I wanted to watch them race, I’d go to Canada.
