@Ryanair Not tarmac, ASPHALT. Easier to digest

Yet Keir Starmer wants to ban @X in the UK. Surreal.

@ALreporting Same thing happened when Syria kicked-off, all over the internet yet silence from BBC et al - till it was all over
Of course, different story if Israel is any way involved

Anyone hear it?

[Flightradar24 @flightradar24]

Every time the An-12BK flies, it makes it into our most tracked flights list because people on the ground can hear it for hundreds of kilometers away and what to know what could possibly be making that much noise. https://t.co/b15Ll3OiYX

This is appalling - some bedfellows for US

The New Normal: The U.S. voted against a UN resolution on cooperation with the Council of Europe because the resolution included a "condemnation of Russian aggression against Ukraine."

Time for King Charles to visit Canada, where he is head of state and has every right to go whenever he wants. I have no doubt the welcome would be ecstatic. And very symbolic. Retweet if you agree.

Red Ed skewered

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

America is far more dependent on fossil fuels than we are. So why are its energy costs between 50% and 25% lower than ours?
Also I understand over 40% of our electricity now comes from renewables. If they’re so cheap why do we have among the highest domestic and industrial electricity prices in the world? And why do rich wind power multinationals still demand massive subsidies to erect more wind turbines if the stuff is so cheap to generate?
Also you keep on saying we’re dependent for gas on petrostate dictators. We import most of our gas from America and Norway. Is this a covert attack on Trump, with the innocent Norwegians as collateral damage?
Plus if you gave out more North Sea licenses we could reduce our gas imports from democracies and dictatorships. Or at least stabilise the status quo.
Energy economics doesn’t seem to be your strong point. But an Oxford PPE degree is pretty poor all round when it comes to economics.
I hope this helps.

At last ...

[Translink @Translink_NI]

You may have noticed our new Ticket Vending Machines being installed in some of our main rail stations first and then across the rest of NI Railways network.

We plan to activate them in early 2024.

This will help to alleviate queues at Ticket Offices at busy times.
