Sainz '23- Australis obviously

[Chris Harper @CPHarper]

What do you think of some penalties being a number of positions rather than time? So you gain off track, you can't overcome the penalty by scampering down the track. Avoids disproportionate penalties too (Sainz '23). Qualy is grid places rather than extra time @LateBrakingF1

@LNER I assume it is valid if taking a different route via Newark northgate?

[Chris Harper @CPHarper]

1202 York to Stevenage cancelled. What are the ticket acceptance arrangements please @LNER and what is our best route back? (First class tix, for what it’s worth)

[Chris Harper @CPHarper]

Any issues we should know about @ocado ? Had a delivery booked 20:30-21:30 but no sign yet at 22:10 and the app says it’s still on time…

[Chris Harper @CPHarper]

Is 708 or 800 the target @jimmy9 #TailendersLive

[Chris Harper @CPHarper]

Now Broady has debuted the NightHawk, what will Jimmy call it when he reclaims his role? #TailendersLive

The Inspire 22 team broke a few records:

- Officially the largest expedition to ski to the South Pole
- Team member Nadja is the first Danish woman to ski to the South Pole
- Devon (the guide) set a world record for guiding 6 expeditions to the South Pole

Lots to celebrate!

[Chris Harper @CPHarper]

Congratulations to the whole team, including my little brother. Glass raised to them. Now for a lifetime of his having the overwhelmingly best dinner-party conversation…

[@Antarctic_Inspire_22 @Go_Inspire_22]

The INSPIRE 22 Team have made it to the South Pole!! 🇦🇶

We are so incredibly proud of their achievement, smashing their expected time in just 47 days 💪🏼

Team photo pending! Stay tuned for more details of their experience and the fascinating research that has come out of it!

@ishkolhatkar As though the recipient of a delivery has any choice who carries it?
“No. Take back my parcel. I have read bad reviews of your delivery service”

@commander_mac I read somewhere (no idea how reliable) there was meant to be more rotation, with others taking shifts on T5, which we do see, but not often. So John would pilot other craft on some rescues (or crew T2 I guess like Alan does)

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Essentially, the government asked barristers to do a whole lot of extra work for no pay.

And we did it. For years.

Then an independent review said: “pay the barristers”

And the govt said, “Nah, we’ll ask them to do even more for free”

And barristers have said: no thank you

[Chris Harper @CPHarper]

A family grieves, a nation mourns, and a world remembers. Thank you ma’am for a lifetime of public service

[Victims’ Commissioner for London @LDNVictimsComm]

The only ones responsible for holding ‘justice to ransom’ are those who have failed to fund a functioning justice system. Yes, it is bringing ‘heartbreak to victims’ but this falls on @DominicRaab & Government, not @TheCriminalBar. Time for honesty and action. #enoughisenough

[Chris Harper @CPHarper]

@Joanna__Hardy A court where I remember the bench giving my non-English-speaking client 6 months inside without me or an interpreter there. When each of us turned up at the actual listing time, they grumbled and corrected it to a fine. Maximum sentence on the statute was only three months

[Chris Harper @CPHarper]

A window into the heart-wrenching challenge facing us all. Stay and hope it gets better somehow, perhaps through our action, or leave knowing there are less difficult options, but knowing what we leave behind to do it. Perfect summary from @Joanna__Hardy

As pig shit think as @DominicRaab has proved to be, this isn’t ignorance. These are LIES.

It wasn’t 43.5% who voted for the strikes. He must be thinking of the % who voted for his govt.

The vote to strike was over 80%.

The ‘proposed 15% pay rise’ is also a lie. Here’s why:

When was the last time three keepers took a catch in a match for one team @ZaltzCricket ?

Did Zhou's first two free practice 1s this year count as AR's two rookie sessions? @wearetherace @SkySportsF1 @alfaromeoorlen
