@NewportBus you might want to have a word with the driver of this school bus. I don't think people want to see him pissing at the side of the A48 of a morning

#PanicAtThePumps queued up for three and a half hours today. I only wanted a Twix and newspaper.

@MinusPeach And you're using social media to decry social constructs?

@GavinFreeguard @TorstenBell @damawa42 @Samfr @instituteforgov @ONSDebraLeaker If I wanted to try and account for the acadmies, I'd take the acadamies estimates from table 11 https://t.co/LW1wSFi9dL
and deduct from central government and add to local in the corresponding periods.

@DavidLammy The justice system requires innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, victims are complainants until proven they're victims. Rape and sexual assault is a horrific crime that you can't fast-track in a gung-ho way. These are appalling proposals which do not match how justice works.

@GavinFreeguard @instituteforgov @aliceolilly @thorpekj @bronwenmaddox @Emma_Norris Goodness me! End of an era. You know where I am if I can help in any way. Best wishes.

@NewportBus @louise29_louise Why are you running a Saturday service on a Tuesday?

[Neil Hedges @hedgesn]

@NewportBus the driver on Caerleon road driving the number 28 at 18.40 better have a good reason for his excessive speed, aggression and unnecessary use of his horn. We'll look at his CCTV shall we?

@PeterStefanovi2 But Cornwall isn't a region.

@GavinFreeguard @jamesrbuk @ad_greenway @Emma_Norris @instituteforgov Sounds interesting. I'll see if I can book on.

@Aron_Cheung Sex rather than gender. Male and female rather than men and women. Collection variable is legal sex rather than a gender identity question 👍

@GavinFreeguard @Aron_Cheung @James_Taylor66 @ONS @instituteforgov I think I've crunched enough numbers!
