@post_liberal Ah, I see this point already been made. Curses. But its 83, not 79

[Sam Beresford @SRBeresford]

@post_liberal Complete inversion of recent past, when men were considerably more Labour. Lab would have won every election from 1945 to 83 if only men voted!

@post_liberal @WalkerMarcus Its pretty likely. There's some interesting literature about link between disease pandemics and authoritarian social/political attitudes

@AndieforIndie @DrMathsPhysics @StickEandBrown @Shamils18 @TomSwarbrick1 The £22m is separate from the extra money - of which Burnham wanted £65m and govt offered £60m. That may still go ahead, apparently

@Sapere_vivere Downfall

[Sam Hall @s_hall_teach]

From 1967-1977 the US government carried out the largest educational research project in history.

The results of which were - effectively - buried.

It’s a story of intrigue, ideology and education failure.

Prediction: this will kill channel swimming

[Simon Jones @SimonJonesNews]

The Home Secretary, Priti Patel, has appointed former National Crime Agency executive Dan O'Mahoney as the UK's Clandestine Channel Threat Commander. He will work to make the Channel route 'unviable' for small boat crossings.

Churchill annoys affluent poseurs partly because their politics inverts his: They get little things "right": the jargon of identity etiquette, the steps of the dances around the offence minefield. But, since the Cold War, they've got the immense thing wrong: who the bad guys are.

@TUIUK Our flight is meant to be today. Despite what your website says, no-one has got in touch. I've been trying for weeks to amend our booking - via website, by calling and DM. Nothing works & no response. We were never even told our flight cancelled. What am I meant to do?

[Sam Beresford @SRBeresford]

@TUIUK So 5 days later and after multiple calls and DMs, still nothing. Been hung up on and messages ignored. Still no confirmation flights are off, or ability to rebook.

This is pitiful

[Sam Beresford @SRBeresford]

@TUIUK Just spent an hour on hold only to be immediately hung up on without operator saying anything. No emails from you; website amend booking doesn't work. What is going on?

[Sam Beresford @SRBeresford]

@TUIUK Have done so
