@Ryanair sat on a plane at Manchester airport for over 3 hours now, no proper updates given, no food or drinks vouchers just expect people to fork out more money when we have no idea if and when this flight is setting off.

If I was hell bent on saving the oil industry … I’d set up or fund a company called “just hate oil” to really rile people up so much about the switch to electric and renewables, I’d spray paint iconic heritage landmarks, paintings and get in the way of hard working people on motors ways 😈 yes yes my plan would work brilliantly…

“I’m having a party…”

Okay

“And you’re invited…”

Oh, thanks

“And everyone has to wear…”

Yeah I’m busy that day sorry

@elonmusk The guy is a fucking idiot but free speech is free speech, I say throw him to the mercy of @CommunityNotes

@evmanuk Seems like Honda just wasted great looks and tech with poor engineering. It’s a cool quirky car but has less range, poorer performance and is heavier than my Mini Electric. The Honda-e was designed to be electric, it should’ve embarrassed the Mini.

This, from @RhonddaBryant, perfectly sums up the chaotic last few months in British politics in the most hilarious way.

(And he wants to dunk @PennyMordaunt into a Welsh tunnel...)

I interviewed a pastor running for Governor in Michigan who wants the Bible taught in schools. Things got awkward.

8. That’s interesting
9. I’d love to
10. I'm sorry
11. That was fun

Russia is known for killing journalists over the decades but now attempt to do it on camera. Sky News team ambushed by Russian operatives in Ukraine while covering Russia’s war crimes

In Kyiv a woman knocked down a Russian drone from a balcony with a jar of cucumbers. How did they expect to occupy this country?

[Sergej Sumlenny, LL.M @sumlenny]

THREAD I know it sounds contra-intuitive, but it feels that Russia and its army are about to collapse. RU obviously has no reserves left: the tanks they send to the front are very old, without active armor, look like training machines. They do not have trucks, using civilian ones

[Trent Telenko @TrentTelenko]

Lady's and Gentlemen, boys & girls, it is time saddle up for another installment of the "Mud and Truck Maintenance in Ukraine" feed.

And this one will be a doozy, because we are talking about Russian truck refueling in the 64km column north of Kyiv. 🧵

@DVLAgovuk I’m waiting for a replacement V5C to arrive (ordered 22/12/21). Should it have arrived by now, I’m waited to pick up/swap to a new car.

@ElectrifyingCom @LidlGB @TdorrLtd @FullyChargedShw @evmanuk @Carpervert No worries, big fan of your channel. Seems pretty unfair when they are pay for Lidl branded chargers. It’s like Tesco fining you for only buying petrol! 🙄
