@vueling What help can you provide now?
No vouchers and no free drinks or food during flight.
3h delay, plus a good 10min for the exit stairs to be ready.
I will claim for compensation through usual channels. Can you provide the link to the Claim Compensation section on your website?

@vueling
Flight from Gatwick 0910h to BCN.
We have been waiting on the tarmac for 1h.
Your punctuality record is shocking, this is why I never fly on business travel with Vueling. Never again.

[Rab @Philo_mathes]

We never got any vouchers as other airlines do.

[Rab @Philo_mathes]

Will you at least have the courtesy of offering free drinks and food onboard?

@Se_Railway The app is buggy again.
Please forward to IT so we can tracks trains accurately.

@jasonhickel Having read both books, I recommend you the book on the right to get over your infatuation with "democratic socialism".
Hayek dealt with this issue 80y ago, and his thesis remains as valid today as it was last century, as evidenced by diverse implementations of Marxism: fail.

@mwgbanks1 @ruth_deyermond @pictureladyjan We live in strange times: absurd pro Russian narratives peddled by a former Tory MP and ex Army.

KASPAROV: I don’t believe Putin will negotiate with Zelenskyy. It’s impossible to imagine that the war Putin started against Ukraine would end with him negotiating with Zelenskyy.

Putin will keep raising stakes. Putin is war. As long as he remains in power, war will continue.

I'm shocked (shocked!) to find that actions beneficial to the Kremlin are going on in the Trump administration.

[Ruth Deyermond @ruth_deyermond]

It's been clear since Jan 2025 that the Trump administration was aligning the US with Russia. In Hungary, for the first time, we've seen the US and Russia interfering in an election on the same side - the side of Russia's ally. 🧵

[Ruth Deyermond @ruth_deyermond]

Term 2 Trump looking like mid-late period Yeltsin in so many ways: an individual with visibly diminished physical and mental capabilities inhabiting a powerful presidency, with no clarity over who's wielding decision-making power, presiding over a wildly corrupt system...

[Ruth Deyermond @ruth_deyermond]

The US president blithely rehearsing what Putin thinks of NATO, and Putin being sufficiently relaxed with/contemptuous of the US president to tell him, is pretty strong evidence that NATO is not currently functioning as a defensive alliance in any meaningful way.

[Thomas C. Theiner @noclador]

That was the russians.

U.S. Air Force parked its E-3s on the taxiways as Iran has no space recon capability and thus could not know / aim for an E-3 on a taxiway.
russia used its space recon satellites to provide Iran with the exact coordinates / time to strike.

[Rab @Philo_mathes]

@IuliiaMendel Wow, your heroes are either Quisling or Chamberlain. Why don't you move to Russia if it ain't that bad?

[Ruth Deyermond @ruth_deyermond]

The Trump administration alignment with Russia is not, I think, primarily about China - at least for the president and probably not for those close to him. If it were, then Trump would have been saying so for all the many years he's been focused on "getting along with Russia".🧵

[Ruth Deyermond @ruth_deyermond]

Trump shows yet again that the US under his administration (a) has ceased to be a trustworthy NATO ally and (b) is a much less desirable ally because it starts destabilising wars for no clear reason and with which it has to ask for help when the wheels fall off.

@PM_ViktorOrban @ZelenskyyUa History will remember Orban and Fidesz as Putin's puppets. Shame on you.
