M25 right now. We missed one bloody exit…

A change from…? He is the prime minister. His party have been in power for 13yrs.

How can you be both the status quo and change?

Getting strong Dwight Schrute vibes…

I cannot stop watching this. It’s one of the most peculiar things I’ve ever seen, which given the venue, is really saying something. Get to the end (if you can).

@moneypenney So sorry to read this. We shared many laughs together during our time at PMI. His cheerful spirit lives on.

“Woke boss” of exclusive bank for the mega rich?

What does “woke” even mean?!

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

The Daily Telegraph has discovered that Dame Alison Rose, woke boss of Nat West, Coutts’s parent bank, sat next to Simon Jack, the BBC’s business editor, at a charity dinner the night before Mr Jack wrote a story claiming wrongly that Nigel Farage had been de-banked for “commercial” reasons – a story now described as “concerning” by the banking watchdog.

@iamsamgould Jeez, you really know how to make a guy feel old! 😂

[Payam Edalat @payamedalat]

@JJBatesBFBS @iamsamgould JJ! How are you doing man? It’s been too long! Four years, as Sam points out!

[Payam Edalat @payamedalat]

@iamsamgould @SkyNews @BloombergUK Can’t believe it’s been that long! Congrats on the new gig, they’re super lucky to have you!

So if @Ocado is now comparing prices to @Tesco who themselves are price matching with @AldiUK, does that mean Ocado is as cheap as Aldi now?

And why is no one talking about @LidlGB?!

Always awesome to see Kris! So proud of all her amazing and creative triumphs. Already looking forward to our next catch up, hopefully before the next pandemic…

[Kris Kashtanova @icreatelife]

Payam is one of the kindest people I know. We used to do journalism in London and know each other for 10 years. Every time we are in the same city we see each other and it feels like we were never apart.
Last time I saw him before the pandemic and so many things happened since then. But today felt like we caught up on everything. Payam’s life work is sustainability and we brainstormed how AI can be used for good in that area. I can’t wait to see what he will come up with next.
Also Payam met my Pablo 🐢🥹 and absolutely loved my little dragon.

@Oliver___Brett @Uber Not the point, and try telling that to my 76-year-old aunt trying to get to her appointment

[Payam Edalat @payamedalat]

Why, @Uber, do you do this? Same trip, but if I want to book it in advance, it costs £34 more?

This time, three years ago, pharmacies were displaying hand sanitiser like expensive jewellery

So very proud to have worked on these projects while @InsidePMI!

“Corbyn deserves an enormous amount of credit for energising whole bunches of young people.”

@BernieSanders says it is “strange” the Labour Party has "thrown @jeremycorbyn out."

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.

I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).
