Great view for an evening run #Boston

@firesidetapes Is there a link to the full interview please?

@Lord_Sugar In my opinion, welfare reform would have to place in that list (perhaps by finding some way to nudge those people into the professions you outline) and I’m not sure if it’s wise to cut back on military expenditure in the world we live.

Until last week, men over 50 were entitled to a free PSA prostate cancer check. But the government has now decided to withdraw that right. I cannot for the life of me work out what their reasoning might be.

[Kevin Hollinrake MP @kevinhollinrake]

“Our new prime minister is falling into the same trap that both Sir Keir Starmer and I did”.

Such an important piece by the ever honest @RishiSunak.

If @andyburnham wants to work cross party in the national interest, then he must be willing to work with @KemiBadenoch to cut welfare, cut taxes, properly fund defence and get the economy growing at the levels not seen since the financial crisis.

[Jacob Rees-Mogg @Jacob_Rees_Mogg]

There is a limit to the amount of tax people can afford to pay.

@PolitlcsUK Is any consideration made for those that have already paid stamp duty?

[Luke B @LEBridges14]

@British_Airways At what point do you stop using AI and get a response from a human?

[Luke B @LEBridges14]

@British_Airways I fly regularly with BA and have just had a flight cancelled from LHR to Boston. Your employee has rebooked me to JFK, for no added fare. But, you’re not willing to cover the flight from LaGuardia to Boston (no JFK seats available).

@British_Airways Unfortunately the BA call centre didn’t think to offer the internal flight from LGA rather than JFK (where there was no availability). As such we were left to figure out JFK to BOS (the original route) ourselves. Will you be able to assist with a refund for the internal leg?

[Luke B @LEBridges14]

@British_Airways Albeit, we’re now delayed at LGA for an hour…

[Luke B @LEBridges14]

@British_Airways We’re on the best route we now have available to us. Who at BA in the UK is best to call to discuss BAs stance on having customers pay for legs of trips post a cancellation?

[Luke B @LEBridges14]

The final leg is coming at significant cost. Who do I speak to regarding this?

[Luke B @LEBridges14]

@InvestSpecial @lhamtil James was on a pod recently too https://t.co/yBz5Re9srd

@British_Airways I’m sat on a runway on an A380 for over an hour for the second time in 6 days. Comms are just there are limited stands that accommodate A380’s at Heathrow. Why not put these on other routes?

[Kate McCann @KateEMcCann]

There will be people who think this is deeply unfair, but it can’t be avoided anymore. You cannot do politics like this now - going on the radio or TV and using a clever form of words to avoid saying the thing you think will end your career. It doesn’t work and it hasn’t worked for a long time.

The career-ending thing isn’t saying “I broke that promise and I’m sorry, but here’s why I really think it’s the right thing to do…” It is repeatedly saying you did it without holding up your hands; in the process treating your audience like they’re daft and eroding trust so much that nobody listens to your actual argument. Why would you get a hearing for what you believe is right if you can’t show enough respect to admit your choice broke a promise?

No parent would accept that kind of apology from a child; why do some of our politicians still think voters should accept it from them? Trust people to give you a hearing and they’ll listen even when you admit mistakes - maybe even more then, because it is human.

[Ryan Saavedra @RyanSaavedra]

This is actually a good statement from Bernie Sanders

@moving_charlie If you have near term cash needs or can’t stomach that level of volatility, public equities aren’t appropriate.
