@TLRailUK I see in your app that tickets dated for 23-25th are eligible for refunds. What about flexi tickets that we can’t use but aren’t dated? And what’s the mechanism to request a refund?

STUDENTS: REGISTER TO VOTE RIGHT NOW!

The law is as follows.

1. You can register at home AND at your term-time address, if that's more convenient for you.

2. You can CHOOSE on the day where to vote.

3. But you can ONLY legally vote in ONE place on the day.

@Ryanair Absolutely atrocious scenes at Stansted. Only two people checking in bags for several planes. Machines don’t work. No guidance for car seat/stroller. Going to miss our flight despite being here >2 before flight.

NEW: America is a rich country. Britain is a poor country with one wealthy region.

People love to compare the UK to Mississippi, but it’s far more informative to look at UK subnationally, too.

London ranks fairly well, the rest of the country does not 👉 https://t.co/xrIzwYGaCI

@IanDunt Truss's short PM reign,
No substance to entertain,
Pop the bonnet, all in vain.

@EmmaVitz I know this is NZ/AU centric but, as a Kiwi living overseas (UK): try this with stamp duty on home purchases thrown in too. First world problems but ours was north of £50k in tax alone! Admittedly the median home pays very little at all.

Genuinely one of the most interesting and impressive buildings in the UK.

This is the grand Neo-Gothic staircase at St Pancras Station in London.

In 1967 it was ten days away from being demolished...

Since, SEVENTY major charities (below), & the energy industry trade body have signed up to support the letter.

I’m taking a wild guess here, but did Bulgaria, Serbia and Russia not have terribly effective vaccine programs?

The problem is we speak the same language and watch the same TV. So people often just assume we’re similar to Americans. But we’re not these days. Why? Because they are absolutely minted (technical term for 60% richer than us)

THREAD quick update on Covid in the UK:

First, we aren't really vaxxing much any more. 30-40K a day.

This is v disappointing as only just over half of 50-64 year olds have had their autumn booster.

Meanwhile there are plenty of under 50s who'd like one! 1/5

[AshEaster @asheaster]

@PaulMainwood @felixsalmon Effective Altruism! Madness.

[AshEaster @asheaster]

@andrew_croxford AZ > AZ > Moderna > BA2(?) > patiently waiting to get literally any vax now (last was in Dec 2021)
Interesting as no one else seems@to match this in my scrolling? Thought I was common.
