Everyone under 40 right now

If you are British and have two middle names you’re either:
1) Posh
2) Catholic
3) Chinese

[YouGov @YouGov]

GB News journalist Tom Harwood yesterday tweeted to complain US name forms often don’t acknowledge people with more than one middle name, a trait he described as “stupefyingly normal in Britain” - so how common is it?

Have no middle names: 21%
One: 70%
Two: 8%
Three or more: 1%

Hang on @PJTheEconomist! The population has grown more than a fifth over that period, so per person emissions are down about 40%. Historically unprecedented and hugely impressive.

Tonight’s restaurant is playing a French language swing cover of The Lambeth Walk, total Anglo victory 🇬🇧

@Tyre_94 What about the Long 19th Century as a whole?

Western ''Realists'' - NATO expansion forced Putin to start this war

Putin when talking about the war -

the war is happening because bla bla bla happened in the 13th century, then this happened in the 16th century, then this leader did this in 1732 therefore 🇺🇦 belongs to 🇷🇺

[Cal @SimpGanassi]

In a way we are quite lucky Russia is led by an ideologue and not a genuine Machiavellian strategist because righteousness blinds you to rational decision making

[Cal @SimpGanassi]

Putin loves doing this, usually to his detriment. In Alaska, when US was literally dangling a ceasefire and end of sanctions in front of the Russians, they spent the whole time talking about Cossack Hetmanate, to the Americans’ chagrin

[max seddon @maxseddon]

NEW: Vladimir Putin spent most of his call with the leaders of Finland and Norway ranting about Slavic history, underscoring Europe's tough task backing Ukraine in peace talks.

The planned 20-minute call dragged on for 90. A ceasefire barely came up:

@tijger_streep I think the plan is to extend to the entire street eventually, so give it another decade or so

Nice courtyard urbanism behind my hotel

@RepealTCPA1947 How many?

This changing every year implies that the men they select either become instantly chopped or die

@CharlieHillReal Seems unfair when Bath isn’t even allowed a second Lidl

@86Fallowcp @thegirlchlo_ Why not?

[Cal @SimpGanassi]

@john_p_d Yes that’s a great point, I’m sure the waiting space wouldn’t be half as crowded if other stations were there to accommodate extra passengers

[Cal @SimpGanassi]

Taking Eurostar for the first time in eight years, have to say I’m not impressed. St. Pancras waiting area is tiny and poorly serviced. Legroom is no better than a plane. You have to arrive sooo early. And it’s not exactly much cheaper than flying (if at all?)

Socialism is supporting the local petit bourgeoisie and the more you support the local property owners the more socialist it is

[Cal @SimpGanassi]

Well this is a first
