What happens if the Government decides to compensate the WASPI women, but they all miss the announcement? Is there a plan in place for that?

This Jet2 advert has done more for British soft power than anything else in the last 30 years

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. ✈️🎶

Nothing beats it!

What a mess. HMG was right the first time. Pensioners are a coddled and entitled generation and it’s long past time they realised it & gave something back.

[Ava-Santina @AvaSantina]

Dual income pensioners bringing in sub £70k will receive a winter fuel stipend.

Bizarre when you consider graduates/millennials/young families will earn far less (thank you stagnating wages) and receive no help.

Is this policy designed to help people, or to appease the press?

[Ben Kentish @BenKentish]

If you're a pension-age couple with a combined income of just under £70,000 a year, the government will give you taxpayers' money to pay your energy bills with. If you're a family earning a fraction of that amount and struggling to keep your children warm this winter, no help with your bills for you. How it that right or fair?

[Jonny @jblok2]

@anon_opin Yes but we should also halve the number of MPs. It’s a national parliament and the concerns of inner city Liverpool are not that distinct from inner city Manchester, suburban Birmingham to suburban Bristol, etc. They should be acting on national, not local issues

@PaulieScanlon @designaid_web It's had both names apparently https://t.co/oWDgBaOy5g

@PaulieScanlon Woah, killing it! The users must have heard it uses bun 😅

[Jonny @jblok2]

@PaulieScanlon Defo, I'm guessing its 6 figures at least!

[Jonny @jblok2]

@PaulieScanlon The funny thing about the bun website is it shows Node is obviously so awful because it can ONLY handle 13,967 requests per second. Like... chill, your app is not doing more than that. People building for imaginary scale instead of solving actual problems!

[Jonny @jblok2]

@PaulieScanlon 1000%. I'm so glad I rise above all of this latest shiniest Javascript nonsense. My tactic works great - I hear the names of the latest things but spend no time learning them. If I still hear the names 2 years on I might think about investigating 😀

[Jonny @jblok2]

@dvassallo I think this is what you’re after

[Jonny @jblok2]

@PaulieScanlon @CockroachDB Some pony place called "Corby" apparently!

[Patrick Campbell @Patticus]

10 years ago today @aaronsw took his own life after overly aggressive prosecution.

He invented internet infrastructure.

He defeated the greatest threat the Internet had ever seen.

And you probably don't know who he is.

You should.

Here’s his story 🧵

@PaulieScanlon Motion passes unanimously

[Jonny @jblok2]

When and where is the protest for demanding #GeneralElection2022 then?

[Jonny @jblok2]

@PaulieScanlon But that will really help the economy because people will use those 3 minutes to buy coffee!

[Jonny @jblok2]

@PaulieScanlon And mandatory HTML classes of course

[Nish Kumar @MrNishKumar]

Suella really put the "tofu" into the phrase "that's how to fuck everything up"

[Jonny @jblok2]

There should be a technology for finding items that works between BLE found in AirTags/Tile (~10m) and GPS (worldwide). Like a low power thing that works up to a few miles?
