Hi @easyJet I flew to Manchester Airport last Friday on your (delayed) flight 1828 from Tel Aviv. ~20 of us were missing hold luggage on arrival. I've called, emailed, messaged, but had no updates. Wondering how so many bags can apparently vanish into thin air!
Railton & Oval-Stockwell LTN trial data shows a traffic reduction of almost 19,000 & 5,800 vehicles a day respectively.

3 of our cargo bike batteries have been stolen. Volunteers use the bikes to deliver emergency food parcels to local households in crisis every week & we’re struggling without them. Please donate to help us raise the £2,100 to replace the batteries https://t.co/02RHwray82 #SE16
7 years in the UK, 8 different homes.
Not one of them was properly insulated (there is always a draft) and not one winter have I gone through without dealing with mould.
I know I’m not the only one.
Do we just accept that as a reality? How can we expect so little?
@trevor_hutton@willnorman@jonburkeUK@TfL 🤷♂️Given that I live next to the Cycleway, I have to walk by it/cycle along it to get to work, the shops or more or less anywhere.
Did you notice how so few rough sleepers could be seen in the last lockdown? Have you noticed it’s not the same this time round? Exactly. And it’s winter https://t.co/mLGa62Obqk
@primevideosport Glad to see you want food poverty to end. Presume your next steps will be paying your workers a living wage and ending your tax avoidance?
If you paid $12.99 a month for an Amazon Prime membership, you paid more to Amazon than it paid in federal income taxes over the past 3 years combined—after making nearly $30 billion in profits. Yes. It's time to make corporations pay their fair share of taxes.
