@OpenChiswickW4 Used to cycle down there all the time! Wonderful trees. The location of the first V2 to land on Britain in WW2

@paullewismoney Anyone with a post graduate degree is also paying back both at the same time so 9% plus 6% so far as I can make out. If you do manage to get a salary above £50270 then about 60% will be deducted if in a workplace pension scheme

@JamesMelville The other issue is that the government is still owed this money until it is written off. Do they seriously expect it all to be paid? If not, why not write it off to the students now rather than sell it at a massive discount to a company later who will still make money from it.

@paullewismoney How is this accounted for by the government? Are they expecting it all to be repaid? if not, why have such a high interest rate?

Today, aged 79, she sailed under my feet at @TowerBridge. So, Happy Birthday to this incredible ship, the world’s last surviving ocean-going paddle steamer. Built for LNER to an old design, she’s still going strong. There she goes, again…

Happy #ColourBlindAwarenessDay 2026!

Agreed the stats quoted look to be completely wrong. We do need a more vibrant housing sector with smaller developers and this is one of the bits of legislation stifling it.

[Russell Curtis @russellcurtis]

Today's Guardian once again witlessly indulging the pro-homelessness lobby, with some very dubious statistics which it publishes entirely unchallenged.

Bigger AND better. Observe how the new mansard roofs in the middle and on the right, do not just "not detract", they actively improve the street. The good news is that thanks to our work...

[Russell Curtis @russellcurtis]

Unless the RIBA refocuses on the things that architects actually care about—planning, fees, sustainability and procurement—then there's little to be done to arrest this sad, but inexorable slide into irrelevance.

@TristanCorkPost ....and what about the application for scheme on the site adjacent which still appears to be 'pending' app no. 21/05580/F which is significantly higher than V-shed and on a similar site to the Centre for Performing arts

[Robert Guy @robiguy]

@TristanCorkPost ....and what about the observation 'thingy' which was in Millennium Square and was granted permission

[Robert Guy @robiguy]

@TristanCorkPost Also look at the application for the additional floor on the Lloyds building app no. 24/02665/LA which appears have the support of Historic England and that's a listed building!

[Robert Guy @robiguy]

@TristanCorkPost A far cry from this proposal!

⚠️ 9 years ago today…

We walked into the Dpt for Education to make the case for something that should not need fighting for:

👉 That screening for colour blindness must be reinstated in schools.

Nothing has changed!
