Just my thoughts. It would be so much easier if people could start from what they agree is a good idea, needs fixing or should be acted on.

Liz Truss’s chief of staff ‘engaged’ with FBI in bribery probe | Financial Times

Given that the government was formed only a couple of weeks ago, how did this man pass the vetting? Or did the PM , once again, as with BoJo and Lebedev, simply overrule ? https://t.co/W0ARElLKrP

Does anyone else feel that @easyJet is deficient in terms of customer service when flights are cancelled? #easyJetUK

[Richard Taylor @Viscount57]

@easyJet Hi. Given that there are two Easyjet flights to Bristol on Sunday, it seems dreadful that the earliest that he can be offered any transport is Tuesday late in the evening. This is an appalling lack of consideration and assistance. #easyjetunhelpful

[Richard Taylor @Viscount57]

I wonder what compensation and rebooking is available for @easyJet passengers from Geneva who have had flights cancelled? My brother and sister in law have just been told that their flights won’t go, but thats it.

[Richard Taylor @Viscount57]

@easyJet I saw, but they have no option but to try and make one of the flights on Sunday to Bristol, and they are, as usual, full.

GBPEUR=X is down 0.65% to €1.1393. Take a look on Yahoo Finance

Even against a weak Euro, sterling is tanking. Perhaps ⁦@KwasiKwarteng⁩ and ⁦@trussliz⁩ can explain how post #brexit the UK is viewed as better placed to deal with a crisis? https://t.co/0qUPXLCrjk

[Richard Taylor @Viscount57]

GBPUSD=X is down 0.68% to $1.1388. Take a look on Yahoo Finance

This whole #brexit thing isn’t the roaring success that was promised is it, ⁦@Jacob_Rees_Mogg⁩ , ⁦@trussliz⁩ ⁦@KwasiKwarteng⁩ ? In fact it seems to be rather a disaster.

Whilst French ATC isn’t within your control, getting passengers home who have paid is. No assistance at Geneva airport, when a flight full of passengers ( indeed multiple flights) isn’t good enough. Telling people to sort themselves out on your website isn’t helpful.

@PickardJE If the Oxford comma were the most pressing issue on her desk, one might feel that @theresecoffey had a point, but it isn’t. This is, just as with @SuellaBraverman and @Jacob_Rees_Mogg simple provocation and hard right elitist crap. #NHS staff deserve much better. #ThickLizzy

[Richard Taylor @Viscount57]

@_PeterHunt @PickardJE One has to say that this does seem rather petty and vindictive. If the King wishes to be seen as a bringer of consensus, of being multi cultural and inclusive, this is a pretty poor start.

Brilliant, well worth a listen, fun, well observed satire. https://t.co/br1rDAYS9a

@JeremyClarkson The more I think about this tweet, I wonder how many of the guests on Top Gear, who you professed to like / admire are “ disgusting people” ? Might you be being just a tad hypocritical , or you possibly were simply lying for years? @eddieizzard is one obvious example.

New Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng wants to scrap curbs on bankers bonuses

Meanwhile Liz Truss calls key workers who won’t accept a crappy real terms pay cut “militant” and wants to make it more difficult for them to strike

Has the penny, finally, dropped?

@timhayward Yum brands?

[Richard Taylor @Viscount57]

@FraserNelson Possibly, but until the help for businesses is clear then a huge level of uncertainty https://t.co/RZuwrSR0BP guess is that it will peak in Feb, at around 13% . One key element is can @trussliz do a few deals with the EU and take advantage of a weak euro. If not, $ will hurt.

Businesses may face weeks of delay over energy bills support, No 10 says

I wonder how many weeks, and how many hobs and businesses will be lost in the interim? Just remember, there is a conference recess almost upon us https://t.co/SnCESbFxZU

[Richard Taylor @Viscount57]

@loganjimt1 @BBCBreakfast All very true, and I agree that it is mad that Parliament isn’t sitting. Only the @LibDems have cancelled the conference, so that wil be two more weeks lost. I simply don’t see that having public expression of grief is an inherently bad thing.

[Richard Taylor @Viscount57]

@loganjimt1 @BBCBreakfast Just look at what is on the TV right now millions will want to file past the coffin and the best part of one million will.

[Richard Taylor @Viscount57]

@loganjimt1 @BBCBreakfast In an age of internet and SM, it is increasingly difficult to hide things. Just consider the reporting from China, Ukraine etc. #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter could only happen because of SM.

@BigPepeSilvia @BBCBreakfast There are a lot of despots, Mugabe, Banda etc who were never elected, raped their countries but then had huge public funerals.
