@Samfr The bigger question is whether this higher salary will be used to calculate her final salary pension.

@Psythor More amazing that you can sit on the Elizabeth line and *not* be able to use the internet on your phone.

@seatsixtyone The Paris Metro used to have identical first and second class seating. The idea is you pay a premium for a better chance of a seat when it's crowded.

In fact, antitrust enforcement is pro-business in the sense that it affords entrants—who are also businesses!—an opportunity to compete more effectively against incumbents. Since when is siding with monopolists pro-business?

@ClemCowton Just needs a 4-tariff limit.

Hello @thameswater - have you stopped dumping sewage in Beverley Brook now? And why didn't you put this on your twitter feed?

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

And if you thought staying in town in an effort to avoid the sewage scandal was an option you'd be wrong.

Sewage warnings issued for Wimbledon Common, Putney Common, Barnes Common and Richmond Park as @thameswater dump sewage into Beverley Brook.

@s8mb And I don't want to be grinchy about it, but if HS2's not coming into Euston there's no case for it at all.

[Adam Cooper @infra_adam]

@s8mb If you're not changing Wimbledon station then you'll have no space to terminate trains and 6 lines going into 4.

@TomCayman @s8mb Lots of very valuable unused land there

This is an essential thread for anyone interested or involved in the art of policymaking.

Do we need a new ‘how’ of government? And if so, what is it? And can we be more specific about its elements? A mega 🧵for nerds into the wiring of government, based on a new piece for @RenewalJournal --> (1/n)

@whoisernie Great interview. But will 'all life on earth' really die if we're still extracting fossil fuels in 2031?

[Adam Cooper @infra_adam]

@s8mb @MurrayJaneMary Mine just smells of tree

[Adam Cooper @infra_adam]

@JesseJenkins Can't believe you haven't mentioned the carbon emissions

@Gilesyb I still can't see how it can cost nearly £12k a year to educate a student and not much more to educate a private school pupil with far more contact hours.

[Adam Cooper @infra_adam]

Interesting idea, and cements the bonds between the IPA and NIC. Has to be a good thing to give the policy people a better understanding of delivery and vice versa.

The really bold move would be to make the merged body an NDPB and make it more independent of the Treasury.

[Sam Dumitriu @Sam_Dumitriu]

I don't think a single journalist noticed it, but Labour's Darren Jones made quite an interesting announcement on infrastructure yesterday afternoon.

They've pledged to merge the Infrastructure Projects Authority and the National Infrastructure Commission.

Some thoughts.

@tomwarren If Sonos thinks its app is its 'core product', then they're even more screwed than I thought

[Adam Cooper @infra_adam]

My dad used to say that you could tell whether an office manager was ex-navy or ex-army because the burglar alarm codes would be 1805 or 1815.

[Jason Groves @JasonGroves1]

Hacks arriving at the National Cybersecurity Centre for David Cameron’s are informed that the security code for the doors is 1234

And think of the untapped potential of I2G.
