It is a real disappointment to note that Tesla have decide not to offer left-hand drive variants of key models including Model X. As a customer who supported Tesla in early days and flew the flag I feel hugely let done and betrayed. Incredibly poor behaviour @Tesla @elonmusk

@dwarfed001_pete @HiveHomeUK This is a simple software change (fix) I know that given what I do! This is needed by users NOW as everyone’s focuses on #ClimateChange & #EnergyCosts considerations.Not the time to delays this & put it in a long queue of improvements. It is a major deficit needs sorting now

[Sir Hossein Yassaie @hy42]

@dwarfed001_pete @HiveHomeUK I could not agree more. I bought Hive a few months ago and because of this limit regret it big time. If Hive do not add more/unlimited time slots in the next 3 months I will replace it with a brand that does and there are brands that do. This is a ridiculous and unnecessary limit

[Sir Hossein Yassaie @hy42]

@010JR010 @HiveHomeUK The limit of 6 control slots is the weakest aspect of Hive app. There is no reasons for it either; it is a simple software addition & has no cost/complexity implication.Should have been there from day 1. Now is a must,given need to control energy more precisely. Just sort it Hive

This should be seen
-by @Conservatives as a serious warning for pandering too much to the right & away from traditional values &
-by @LibDems as reluctant support that can fade away if they do not change enough to become a serious party that can win @EdwardJDavey @BorisJohnson

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Boris Johnson's Tories have suffered a humiliating by-election defeat as the Liberal Democrats secured a historic win in Chesham and Amersham.

After 40 yrs with BT on many services, we’re thinking to move on. Our essential Broadband has been erratic & completely died yesterday midday. All I get from BT is we are investigating!! - with no real progress update. Frankly it feels like no one is on the case! @bt_uk @BTGroup

Much overdue; UK needs to replace “lax” past attitude/approach with a balanced process to both encourage genuine/supportive foreign investments in the UK AND protect nation’s interest & prospects.

I do hope world has started to move back towards some normality in that
- facts matter not lies,
- contempt gives way to respect,
- we again care about unity, equality AND
- leaders with character.
Perhaps our leaders in UK can take a leaf from #PresidentElectJoeBiden book

[Charlie Falconer @LordCFalconer]

If PM wants a relationship with President Biden, ditch the law breaking part of the Internal Market Bill. Recklessly putting U.K. beyond the pale might have seemed ok on Monday. It sure doesn’t look that way now the US have shown President Trump the door.

[Sir Hossein Yassaie @hy42]

The end of a mad & dangerous era for #America & the world. Perhaps we can all be more hopeful about the future when it comes to #COVID, #climatechange, genuinely addressing racism, democracy and the fundamental fact that the character of our leaders matter #Elections2020

Joe Biden will be the 46th president of the United States, CNN projects, after a victory in Pennsylvania puts the Scranton-born Democrat over 270 https://t.co/og62ckK5r5 #CNNElection

The forgotten #American motto. It is a reminder carried in pockets & wallets. It’s on the front of US passports, on the seal of country, Supreme Court, Congress & President.
The words are “e pluribus unum,” Latin for “out of many one.” #America must rediscover its founding unity

[Sir Hossein Yassaie @hy42]

What a sad night for USA!! Never would have expected such divisive and false statements with no evidence from the @POTUS. Dangerous, reckless & undermining to democracy 😕

[Sir Hossein Yassaie @hy42]

Fair assessment I think! The glimmer of hope here Is that humans do learn from life experiences particularly if these have, in hindsight, come about as a result of bad/damaging choices. Even democratic processes, which I hugely value, can learn ... I live in hope anyway ...

Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire media mogul and former mayor of New York, has said "Brexit is the single stupidest thing any country has ever done apart from the election of Donald Trump as US president."
