Personal views of a lapsed politician who has discovered the world elsewhere .

@thequentinletts I’m afraid the dog would only talk balls

@success_cl8 I am having problems with DM on X; is there any other way of contacting someone?

[Sir Peter Luff @PeterJLuff]

@parcelforce I sent a parcel to Germany but the tracking shows as having been delivered to my nominated collection point in Lindlar Germany. But I didn’t nominate a collection point. What should I do?

[Sir Peter Luff @PeterJLuff]

@success_cl8 Thank you

[Sir Peter Luff @PeterJLuff]

@parcelforce Tracking a parcel I sent to Germany using your service shows it as being available for collection at my nominated collection point, but I have never nominated one. What can I do?

Just occasionally, FCDO comms are for an audience of one.

[Sir Peter Luff @PeterJLuff]

The BBC is grossly exaggerating the number of British citizens who want to be repatriated; the 130,000+ figure they are quoting is for people responding to the consular request for Brits to register so they know where and who they are, not for people wanting flights home

[Sir Peter Luff @PeterJLuff]

@WalkerMarcus Quite right. Reform clearly have no idea how listing works. It is an important tool to protect the heritage of the building, not what happens iinside it. Its bureaucracy is more likely to hasten the demise of churches with small congregations than help them to flourish

[Prosper UK @Prosper_UK_]

There is a large group of voters who feel increasingly disconnected from today’s political choices - turned off by populism and looking for competence and realism.

Prosper UK has been formed to support a Conservative Party that is focused on growth, opportunity and responsible government, with respect for our institutions.

We believe Britain can do better, and prosper again.

@GWRHelp I see the 17.57 to
Worcester stations has been cancelled: what trains can I use my advance single on instead?

[Sir Peter Luff @PeterJLuff]

@GWRHelp Thank you. It’s turning into a very long journey !

[Sir Peter Luff @PeterJLuff]

@GWRHelp Any idea what’s causing the delay between Didcot and Oxford?

@TK_HelpDesk But what is the problem? I have had Parkinson’s for at least 11 years and have flown on many airlines without difficulty. I just can’t see why @TurkishAirlines has this policy. There’s no symptom of Parkinson’s that justifies it. It is a foolish policy and I urge you to drop it.

[Sir Peter Luff @PeterJLuff]

@TurkishAirlines I am considering a holiday in Turkey and also using Turkish Airlines for a longer two-leg journey but I understand you do not welcome passengers with Parkinson’s and require a recent doctor’s note confirming fitness to travel. Why do you single out my condition?

[Sir Peter Luff @PeterJLuff]

@TK_HelpDesk But I don’t understand why you do this. What aspect of Parkinson’s makes this necessary? And the uncertainty about how long a doctor’s letter will take means I can’t now book a flight with you.

[Sir Peter Luff @PeterJLuff]

@DCMS @lisanandy @nationaltrust Spot on Lisa, and @TNL players, through @Heritage Fund, have played a huge part in supporting industrial heritage - just look at @Beamish_Museum @BCLivingMuseum @svrofficialsite @NpTbridge @festrail and many others from canals to Shrewsbury Flaxmill.

[Sir Peter Luff @PeterJLuff]

The culture secretary is absolutely right

Culture secretary: Mills can matter as much as mansions

That is why I was so proud of the support @TNLUK players, through the @HeritageFundUK, have given to places like the @BCLivingMuseum and @Beamish_Museum

@bernarddonoghue Sad news indeed, especially for Michael. Kevin was everything Bernard says, but I will also miss his generous hospitality and mischievous sense of humour. The world is a poorer place this morning.
