@miguelrocadata @ONS @BBC Loved the leaving song! All the best at the Beeb, they're lucky to have you

Very saddened to hear my old tutor @CardiffJomec David English has died. He gave us all an incredible work ethic with his infamous red pen and blistering news quizzes. Once you passed his tests you know you'd make it.

A proper journalist, will be very missed.

Just heard my former ⁦@CardiffJomec⁩ colleague David English has died. I worked with him from 2006 to his retirement, a man who could wield a red pen and a joke with aplomb. He had a major influence on those who studied with him. He will be missed. https://t.co/YhrscBKnp9

@glynmottershead @CardiffJomec Oh, so sad to see this. David was a massive influence on us all. It was the ultimate rite of passage when he said you were 'now a journalist'. And that red pen. Savage but fair!

NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia https://t.co/gtHvhNsnuT

Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people.

@David_Powles @EDP24 Sorry to hear this Dave, will be a massive loss to the EDP and Norfolk in general. Thanks for taking me into the fold back in 2015, the newsroom was second to none. Best of luck with what comes next

The owner of an Old Kent Road restaurant was prosecuted & fined £1760 over a Nov '20 'leaving do'

"The only reason I did it was for a member of staff", he told the police

The owner appears to have been in his office while others partied, but he was held responsible

We’ve also looked at #COVID19 vaccination and mortality in young people.

To date, there’s no evidence of change in the risk of cardiac-related death or death from any cause after vaccination in young people (aged 12-29) in England https://t.co/38ZI326NML

While the #COVID19 pandemic and the UK’s exit from the EU has affected people’s decisions to work in the UK, there have been differences between industries with some having experienced growth and others decline https://t.co/vfXbt9cpTY

This @ONS article sets out clearly why UK energy bills are going up (due to high gas prices) and, crucially, how the poorest and least efficient homes will be hardest hit

As the cost of living rises for households across Great Britain, growing energy prices are disproportionately impacting those on lower incomes 📈
