For those of you suggesting a national public inquiry into so called grooming gangs will deliver accountability
Do you know that the grand total of people brought to justice following the Hillsborough, Grenfell, Post Office, Infected Blood & Bloody Sunday public inquiries is ONE?

@s8mb Also helps with the need for more agglomeration of cities esp London by encouraging residential development further out.

[Paul Smith @dreamendstate]

@s8mb BoJo was an inept PM with one good idea: make seasonal train tickets deductible against income tax. Wd boost rail investment + increase the demand for housing (and via price signaling the supply of housing) outside metro areas. Wd also signal govt is focused on productivity.

It’s as if the pigs have exiled the dogs from Manor Farm and they’re now living with Mr Pilkington over at Foxwood.

@hullpcfix @Zuppanov1 @NATOJFCBS @NATO No, we didn’t agree. The treaty is the agreement and “not one inch” wasn’t in it.

@hullpcfix @Zuppanov1 @NATOJFCBS @NATO Good Ft article with background here: https://t.co/UWJitXtqzg

[Paul Smith @dreamendstate]

@hullpcfix @Zuppanov1 @NATOJFCBS @NATO No. Talk of “not one inch eastward” was made in the lead up to the treaty of the Final Settlement on German unification, but ultimately dropped from the wording of the treaty. The Soviet Union agreed to these terms. This a fact Putin chooses to ignore.

@wattbike new atom gears not working. They change in the hub but resistance stays at gear 1. I’m guessing iOS upgrade is the culprit. I’ve been booted from the customer service call queue THREE times now, no one has replied to my email and live chat is almost useless.

@nelthorpe Bet my bottom dollar there was an excel pun in the headline.

[Paul Smith @dreamendstate]

Here are the most common headline words per news outlet so far this year. The NYT’s focus on Trump looks unshakeable, as does the Express’s obsession with Brexit.
