Do falling interest rates signal better times ahead? In the lead up to the election, David Smith, economics editor, The Sunday Times, examines the impact of interest rates on different groups.

Great work from @joncraig, as you'd expect. But again, this is a symptom not a cause of the wider malaise. Normalising lies to get Brexit 'done', lionising Johnson's self-promotion as his moral depravity escalated, praising Truss's budget etc. Plums like Holden watched & learned.

Hey @raileurope the contact form on your website keeps saying 'Connection problem Try again' Need answers to my questions.

[Martin Nail @MartinNail]

Latitude-wise? Surely you mean longitude. Meridians cross all latitudes so you don't need to leave the meridian to get to any latitude you like.

[Political Animal @politic_animal]

Final prep for the next Turtle Travels adventure…
From early afternoon, I’m going to try to answer another crucial q: how far can you get, latitude-wise, from the Greenwich Meridian, using public transport, in 24 hours?
Join me and Mrs Turtle as we (spoiler alert!) #GoEast

@politic_animal @BikingSkiing Have you been on the bus between Pellestrina and the Lido in Venice which does likewise?

#OTD ten years ago, the launch of "The Full English" @cecilsharphouse a groundbreaking online resource from @efdss. Check it out at https://t.co/Xpdwo9rA1g

@NewJournal The car wash site developers have already encroched on the pavement. Why do they need even more? They should plan a safe system of work that doesn't mean massive inconvenience to bus passengers and pedestrians.

I'm doing one of my infrequent bookings at @IslingtonFolk on 23rd March. English traditional material together with music hall and maybe the odd gem from Clive James & Pete Atkin.
