Congratulations to sensible @MattHancock on becoming SoS/HSC. At BoE and PAC, he was good at taking the long view. Maybe he can take pressure off NHS Drs by expanding number of 4-year grad entry medical places? Huge numbers of highly motivated ppl still on course waiting lists.

@TfLTravelAlerts #WoolwichFerry status showing "good service" but it seems very delayed here. Please update and tell us what's happening

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

Last week @BBCNews woke me at 0431 with push notification for #PlayBoy #hefner death. This week #NobelPrize barely makes it onto homepage!

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

@TfLTravelAlerts Can @TfLBusAlerts help?

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

Hey @TfLTravelAlerts. It's BBQ weather but the smoke coming out of SN64CVJ on bus route 444 doesn't look right. Can you please check?

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

@Exauditor77 @CommonsTrans https://t.co/oMCswc5hZk Golden goodbyes!

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

@VirginTrains Not sure that counts as an apology. You cancelled previous train. Passengers falling over each other on overpriced "service"

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

If @VirginTrains had any decency, they would have apologised, given free snack and refund to everyone standing on 0958 Preston to London

In BBC’s 'pollution week’ https://t.co/d0bMIpPXX7 , my updated blog on meaning and source of '40000 deaths’ https://t.co/hBJUINztJN

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

@DavidLammy should have read this before going on @BBCNewsnight and making allegations: https://t.co/yb8MCzc5g4

@Number10gov @ukhomeoffice @CommunitiesUK John Uff and Mr Justice Haddon-Cave would be a good combo #GrenfellTower inquiry @johnbarradell

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

@Number10gov @ukhomeoffice @CommunitiesUK should appoint engineer/lawyer John Uff to lead #GrenfellTower public inquiry. Ideal experience

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

Hi @emirates Could you please check deep in the magazine pocket and seat cover of seat 54D on A6-EOB for a phone? Sentimental photos on it!

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

Is @BBCNews encouraging unhinged people with its reporting of the killers and of the injuries they inflicted? Gratuitous voyeurism @Ofcom

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

@metpoliceuk should move @SkyNews @BBCNews and other media away. We want 999 services to do their jobs off camera

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

Can @SkyNews stop showing police in underwear please? You and @BBCNews please stop terrorising us with rolling coverage

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

Hi @drchatterjeeuk. Can you let us know what the test was please? And any links to decent further info most welcome. Thanks!

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

Hi @drchatterjeeuk. What was the genetic test you did on the guy with high homocysteine, whom you then treated with high B vitamins?

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

@Mantzarlis @FullFact Also worth checking out the course materials from @callin_bull (hosted by @UW) ☺

[Loose Minute @looseminute]

@BBCLondonNews Where did you get 9000 deaths a year figure? @ONS doesn't list "air pollution" as cause of death #AirQuality @anthony_reuben
