@BBCSimonJack on @BBCr4today in ironic tone "i always feel so pleased for those people [lottery-winners] who win, £83m" Perhaps even more pleased than those people on the UK average salary who learn that Simon earns 6 times what they do, and that they pay for it.
"We expect to be able to give residents and stakeholders clarity on next steps as soon as possible." Most meaningless press statement ever from @transportgovuk regarding the closure of Oxford's arterial #BotleyRoad, closed since April 2023 with no end in sight.
@UKSupremeCourt noticed a couple of typos 1) On https://t.co/9SUtb8eRYC
against [2024] SC 13 in the name of parties to case, for “Sercretary” read “Secretary”
2) re 2022/0147
https://t.co/vqZmILg2Bw for “special damaged” in para 2 of Facts section, read “special damage”
@Marthakearney Congratulations on spending so long at the very top of your profession. I admire your political interviews - you manage to be persistent but without aggression. I also admire your curiosity, and your empathy for your interviewees. I hope we will continue to hear from you on R4
@labourlewis Technically reaffirmed not ”re-sworn the oath”. You have Charles Bradlaugh to thank, 1880s MP for Northampton, following whose campaign to permit affirmations House convention has been not to dispute your being seated by questioning your good faith, which he was denied for years
@labourlewis I agree. Good that the House didn’t claim that given your views, your words cd not be binding upon your conscience, and so you could not proceed and thus neither take your seat nor represent your constituents. This is what the 1880 house did to Charles Bradlaugh for several years
@davidcornock@kirith_ae @Chris4SN @SeamusLoganMP@patrick_hurley@sianberry@lukejcr I enjoyed your reporting today but next time you report the words of the member for Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey (or for that matter the hon. member for Moray East), gladden the hearts of constituents by rhyming Moray with curry not “lorray”; for bonus points roll the r a bit
Under strain?

@HuwJ85@faisalislam But the first day of the second half is the 184th day. Imagine the year was 6 days. The first day of the second half is the fourth day not the third.
