@CMAgovUK I've been asking @CAA_UK to do this for 6 years - thank you!

here's a link to @AeroSociety paper which highlights the dangers of separating children and adults - section 9.16 and Recommendation 18

https://t.co/G8Hk5sCQ1m

[andrew @avds]

This paper again highlights that @UK_CAA "decided that the seating of family groups should be such that family members are not seated remotely from each other" for safety reasons

Is @Ryanair still separating family groups in order to drive more seat selection revenue?

[andrew @avds]

@BBCNews well done @CMAgovUK for going where @CAA_UK fear to tread

seating children and adults separately slows down aircraft evacuation ...

and increases deaths and injuries

Ryanair must cease and desist their separation money making policy

@nationalrailenq well done to @LondonFire for extinguishing the fire so quickly

not easy for them to get into Stable Way - I saw them dragging hoses in from the top of the road

[andrew @avds]

@Brent_Council Great to complete the count tonight

Is Brent the only Council in London where Conservatives, Lib Dems and Green have ALL gained seats?

@seatsixtyone back in 1999 I visited the Commonwealth, German and Italian cemeteries at El Alamein

the latter two were on the north side of the main road, and at risk of being moved for hotel development - but they seem to be unmoved?

both are also worth a visit

@Fulhamsw6com I'm surprised by the Pollcheck numbers for Munster ward

In 2022 the Lib Dems benefited from having Nicola Horlick as a candidate

With @NicolaHorlick NOT on the ballot paper this time it will be a challenge for the LDs to increase their vote by a quarter as Pollcheck projects

[andrew @avds]

@Fulhamsw6com very interesting analysis!

Pollcheck projections need a very big pinch of salt

Five way battles with a First Past the Post electoral system are almost impossible to call

Also, if Labour really do have a 9.8pp lead in Sands End ward - surely they will win all 3 seats?

@HeadForPoints the first of the new B787s with Allegris seats started flying to Toronto on Thursday

did they ever get their main J seats certified?

or are these B787s only operating with the front row of J seats available?

@HeadForPoints Greetings from Ryanair’s home - STN airport!

Just to confirm that Play’s aircraft TF-PPA is still on the apron here

@theJeremyVine @LBofHounslow @London_Cycling @MikeyCycling @voitechnology @limebike @LBHF @MayorofLondon @willnorman @daraobriain I didn't realise how complicated it is until I digged in:

Bolt - K&C only
Voi - 6 non contiguous boroughs
TfL / Santander - central only
Lime - 17 boroughs - not Hounslow
Forest - 18 boroughs - not Richmond or parts of Ealing

as per this map (almost)
