@CondorCares very dissapointed with the service and customer care at Condor airlines. Amongst other things trying (and failing) to order special meals has been near impossible for what should be a very simple task. I do not think I will book with them again.

@CentrFit @twelst Also having the same issue on iOs and Android phones for over 24 hours, and disappointed with lack of communication

Boris has handed Rishi the premiership. Had he not attempted to stand, there would have been a good chance that an anti-Rishi coalition would have coalesced around another candidate and taken it to a contest. All in all Sunak’s camp must be delighted with Boris now.

[Lyon & Turnbull @LyonandTurnbull]

Precocious, confrontational, full of swagger - #JohnBratby was the enfant terrible of 1950s British Art. We are delighted to present 4 works by Bratby perfectly embody the style & subject-matter of this most unique artist in our 28 Oct #MODERNMADE auction: https://t.co/fvKH6oWEZ8

@ChrisMasonBBC Why is the BBC reporting this as fact rather than rumour, possibly put about by Johnsons team. Clearly this is bad, irresponsible and potentially biased reporting

Oh Boy! was made by Ben Nicholson (1894-1982) for his son Jake in c.1933. The moment of sporting drama between footballer & goalkeeper relates to his ground-breaking reliefs of the period. It will be offered by @LyonandTurnbull on 29 April. Read the story: https://t.co/FZEbcZN6wy

Instantly recognisable for his signature pouring of paint onto a tilted surface, the work of abstract artist #IanDavenport occupies a significant place in contemporary British art. Take a closer look at this early work ft in our 29 April #MODERNMADE sale: https://t.co/mnbk0JKtd6
