@HeathrowAirport does not need another runway. It needs a lot more competition. Abysmal service levels for arrivals today

Maybe worth a re-post? https://t.co/81DrWWA7Ne

Loving the US commentators for the USA/England game. Hereby volunteering for the next one. #USAvENG

Dept. Q is fantastic. Just watch it

[Colin Ellis @blondecoluk]

So apparently Bears can lose to @BathRugby

[Colin Ellis @blondecoluk]

Cracking result. Did worry about @BathRugby resting players & going off the boil. But in Johann we trust!

There is no catching a Ojomoh x Cokanasiga combination 💨

Max Ojomoh times the interception to a tee and leaves Cokanasiga to bring it home! 🏠

This is literally clowncar policymaking from the US

It’s not that complicated: China threatens our security and prosperity. 

At today’s meeting with the Indo-Pacific partners, we agreed the region needs to be free from China's coercive and unfair trade policies. Our security depends on it.

oh I’m aware

Enduring what I think is 5th power cut since Monday. @UKPowerNetwork3 it has been interesting, but time now to just get things fixed properly please?

[Colin Ellis @blondecoluk]

More like this please! @BathRugby

[PREM Rugby @premrugby]

After 14 years in power, Britain's Conservative Party is out.

The fictional newscaster @JonathanPieNews offers his balanced, professional — and definitely not celebratory — take on the new prime minister. https://t.co/e1I9GAhyXP

Increasing think @RishiSunak in the rain is the best metaphor of his premiership. Sounded like a good idea to some, realised it was going badly wrong, and then kept going anyway to make it worse.

I wonder if Rishi looking wet and getting drowned out by music will be the lasting summary of this GE campaign.

Anyone know why Sunak has gov't lectern for this? In front of No. 10? Feels a bit odd...

[Colin Ellis @blondecoluk]

Unbelievable game. But now starting to believe! @BathRugby @rugbyontnt

[Rugby on TNT Sports @rugbyontnt]

There was some feeling in that one 🙌

A gutsy performance from @BathRugby at The Rec to beat @racing92 29-25 and secure Round of 16 qualification!

@VirginAtlantic Not your finest. First you downgrade my seat because you overbooked, now you've lost my luggage. May fly with someone else next time!

Convinced that the collective noun for a group of Christians is a muddle.

But it can be a lovely muddle. #ThankyouGreenbelt
