@cheerUPDATES Will you be doing the same hit zero / deductions updates for Summit?

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

Anyone in Europe actually still watching the #netflixcup? No, me neither. The most cringeworthy show I’ve seen in a long time. Oh dear @NetflixUK!

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

@uuuulkenberg Load of crap!

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

Another absolute waste of prime time TV. Shoddy reporting and incorrect information. #itvtonight

@JensonButton my daughter would like to know what tyres you started on in 2011?

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

@British_Airways what is going on in T5? It’s a mess! No A380 stands free for BA104 from Dubai and now up to an hour delay for baggage. You are our national airline. #sortitout

@ABTAMembers @RishiSunak @RishiSunak stop ignoring the travel industry!!

[ABTA Members @ABTAMembers]

@RishiSunak @RishiSunak your statement today does little to help the #travelindustry. With income down by around 80%, travel agents, tour operators, and travel management companies are rightly asking why they haven’t been given the same treatment as other businesses. Our industry needs:👇

[Julia Lo Bue-Said OBE @jlo_said]

Restrictions since March 2020. No specific support. Trading 80% less than 2019. Lockdown by stealth and still ignored. The travel industry cannot survive on discretionary handouts #SaveFutureTravel

[Ashley Quint ✈ 🌴 @LuxuryTravelled]

After the chancellor @RishiSunak did everything to resist sector specific support to the travel industry in the Spring (when everyone else was opening) - he leaves the travel industry out in the cold again.

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

@RishiSunak continues to ignore the travel industry’s pleas for help yet announces new help for the hospitality sector. Why?

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

@RishiSunak How can you continue to assist the hospitality sector and ignore the travel sector completely!! We are the worst affected industry and get no help at all!

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

@silverstone247 #silverstone #lapoflights Happy Christmas from The Ballantynes!

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

@silverstone247 Please can you say a huge Happy Xmas to Eloise! Thank you x

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

@RishiSunak What about the travel industry?? Many of us small agencies and tour operators still working harder than ever to lose money hand over foot. Why do you engage with hospitality and ignore our pleas for help!!

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

@RishiSunak Why is it you are again in talks with hospitality yet are ignoring the pleas of the travel industry? We are one of the hardest hit industries and we need your help too!

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

@grantshapps Will you be providing a special grant to the affected travel industry - specifically travel agencies and tour operators - you’ve effectively just taken away our income for the foreseeable.

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

Oh back off @susannareid100 - he sells the scooters - if people choose to break the law riding them where they shouldn’t, that’s on them.

[Sophie Ballantyne @iammrsbally]

@grantshapps Please also advise the FCDO to update their advice against all but essential travel to countries not on the red list!
