@darrenpjones Massive congrats and so well deserved. Full of hope that this government can restore some dignity and pragmatism to British public life.

@BristolChoral Sublime singing tonight - but why on earth cut the magnificent sequence between messiah pts 24-26? Surely / and with his stripes / we like sheep - one of the greatest choral suites in the canon - and we got none of it 🥲

@EsmeFox @TravWriters @EsmeFox Thanks - I think I am covered but will be back in touch if not. All best.

@TravWriters On the hunt for a writer with good recent knowledge of Spain's Basque country - Bilbao, San Sesbatian and the interior. 1500 word guide for Boundless magazine (print) for a Jan deadline. Please reply to THIS account (@danlinstead) with creds.

@ChezSpecter @TravWriters @TelegraphTravel @flashpack @ChezSpecter Thanks Fran, I think I'm covered now but will DM if not. All best.

NB already posted this to a mysterious new account that X seems to have created for me - if you see that one, please ignore and reply to this thread. Thanks!

@MegaHeid Sounds like another award winning near death experience in the making

@MarvinJRees @BristolCouncil Thoughtless, tin-eared virtue signalling. Just sowing more division in a horribly divided world.

@TimesRadio Zero sympathy for NHS consultants. Wages have been depressed vs inflation in all sectors for the last decade - why should some of the most lavishly paid people in the country hold the rest to ransom?

[Dan Linstead @danlinstead]

3/3 Yet another example of the embarrassingly poor transport infrastructure this city suffers. No wonder everyone drives, making an already polluting trip even worse @BristolAirport @darrenpjones

[Dan Linstead @danlinstead]

2/3 In Bristol I have to wait 45 minutes for the next ‘flyer’ bus which meanders through the city taking over 30 mins to the centre.

[Dan Linstead @danlinstead]

1/3 Just flown from Edinburgh (pop roughly 500k) to Bristol (pop roughly 500k). In Edinburgh I hopped on a super frequent, modern airport tram for £7.50 and was at the airport in minutes.

Received this emergency notification an hour ago #greece #wildfires #corfu

[Dan Linstead @danlinstead]

Forest fire right now in northern Corfu. Viewing from the hills near Benitses - this is 30km away.

@Ryan_S_Gladwin Hi Ryan - thanks. It looks like your work is mainly for the US market - this is for a UK, 55+ mainstream audience. Are you in UK and familiar with the market here?

#journorequest Seeking an established personal finance journalist to turn around a short consumer piece on alternative investments (whisky, art) in 10 days. 50p a word. Anyone out there not maxed out writing about the budget / COL crisis?

[Dan Linstead @danlinstead]

@TimesRadio How does the extraordinary wealth of senior doctors with their £1m+ pension pots (most of us can only dream…) tally with the extraordinary poverty of junior doctors on the picket line? Surely the latter will, in time, become the former?

[Dan Linstead @danlinstead]

@weischoice DM me please - this week!

[Dan Linstead @danlinstead]

@j_amesmarriott Greatly enjoyed. Geoff Dyer always a pleasure. The musician analogy is very apt - sports people too. Only writers dread the thing they love.
