@10Yetis Gutted to read this Andy. I hope all the team can find new roles super quick! You've livened many a morning for me with your posts on this site. Wishing you well!
@FrancisDearnley@EditorsUK@Telegraph@DomNicholls Congratulations! Very well deserved - you two are amazing - and a great legacy for David. I still imagine his voice introducing the podcast from time to time.
@bridges_tom I left home at the same time as you this morning to get to a meeting by train. But I'm now in Paris! I used to work in the North and went everywhere by car for meetings. I would have taken train if it was feasible. Infrastructure is so underfunded 😞
@Shayan86 I think this 'poll' just goes to illustrate how much X and Elon now caters and appeals to a right-leaning user base. If it was possible to filter this by user location you can benchmark against official polls to use as a measure for the X user base vs general population.
The timing of the election might cause problems for some, esp students coming to the end of term or those who have holidays booked (whoever they intend to vote for). The solution is to apply for a postal vote. Here’s the link to do so. Please share.

The Indian government has issued executive orders requiring X to act on specific accounts and posts, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment.
In compliance with the orders, we will withhold these accounts and posts in India alone; however, we disagree with these actions and maintain that freedom of expression should extend to these posts.
Consistent with our position, a writ appeal challenging the Indian government's blocking orders remains pending. We have also provided the impacted users with notice of these actions in accordance with our policies.
Due to legal restrictions, we are unable to publish the executive orders, but we believe that making them public is essential for transparency. This lack of disclosure can lead to a lack of accountability and arbitrary decision-making.
@WalkerMarcus sorry for your loss Marcus. praying for you and the family but also giving thanks for a life well lived and that you got to have one last Christmas and birthday with your dad.
