@Ziffit why have my parcels not been picked up by DPD? That’s twice they have failed to pickup? Perhaps the driver is blind or more likely he crossed me off the list twice cos he was running late. What are you going to do about it?

[Gareth Davies @advisorymatters]

@Naace I suppose any list might be ‘controversial’ as to effect on education. This one seems very heavy of tech rather than ‘education’, or should I say, ‘learning’? I’m sure you’ll cover that.

It’s #SmallBizSatUK - a great excuse to visit your local independent shops in Lowestoft and Beccles today! Small businesses provide local jobs, have a lower carbon footprint and help to keep our high streets vibrant @SmallBizSatUK

[Lowestoft Labour Party @LabourWaveney]

Waveney Labour Party members had an interesting walk yesterday with well known local historian, Ivan Bunn. The theme was "Peto's Lowestoft" starting at the railway station moving to his fine promenade and the 'resort' of Kirkley that he constructed. https://t.co/iLFYDxSqCb

Short piece on @r4Today at 7.40 on 20mph as default. James May gave a personal perspective but why no @20splentyforus invited?

#HistoryWritersDay22 - interested in Circus history? Pick up on my books on Pablo Fanque and The Clown King (Arthur Nelson) https://t.co/vewIeCtKj4 - bundle offer

@simonharris_mbd Switching back to imperial, and the petrol price at stations would be advertised as £7.71 (per gallon). That will be a shock for all of everyone!

@OllieDSmith Presume you know about this? https://t.co/bFeeXRy9KE

[Gareth Davies @advisorymatters]

The Uk Parl petition website has rejected all petitions re #DominicCummngs. Another act of ignoring the UK people. However https://t.co/o5aFMMTwfC petition has over 1m signatures, sign it now https://t.co/krDiLHMLCL to protest.

[Gareth Davies @advisorymatters]

So if Boris Johnson is saying that any questions regarding the Dominic Cummings fiasco is political, I assume he will be answering MPs questions in Parl when they are back about it? #dailyupdate

[Gareth Davies @advisorymatters]

Suddenly there sprang into his mind, ready-made as it were, the image of a certain Comrade Ogilvy, who had recently died in battle, in heroic circumstances.. It was true that there was no such person as Comrade Ogilvy, but a few lines of print would soon bring him into existence.

Here you can see how #DominicCummngs changed his old blog in April/May, after his Durham trip. He made the changes to make it appear as if he'd warned about corona back in 2019.

[Gareth Davies @advisorymatters]

Just like Jacob Rees-Mogg told us that he was too smart to follow advice if he had been at Grenfell, we’re told by Cummings the same regarding Coronavirus at his press conference.

[Gareth Davies @advisorymatters]

@mberry And it was in reply to a member of the public in Gateshead who said they had one of the highest infection rates now? One might expect politicians to get the maths wrong but the scientists?

@BobHarrisonEdu @tonyparkin @researchEdhome An excellent piece by @tonyparkin most of us were there at that 1998 conference & Alan’s lecture was already a hit at many internat Ed confs by then. Tech in Ed, although started by the Tories became part of the ‘left’ & ‘trendy’ trope that needed to be expunged. 10 lost years.

[Gareth Davies @advisorymatters]

@tonyparkin Jam was already history. As to whether the British digital resource/software industry is in a state to rebuff this is perhaps unknown.

[Gareth Davies @advisorymatters]

A brilliant post:
