Excited to work with the brilliant @TanethAutumn again and I'm looking forward to meeting my new colleagues. Should be a nice, quiet year for news in which to get started... My DMs are open, say hi 👋

I left @thetimes earlier this month, after *exactly* six years (and two days...). Very sad to leave such a wonderful team of experts and some great pals. I have learned so much from all of you and I shall be watching and cheering from the sidelines

@TonyBrannon @Datawrapper You can upload your data as a single year i.e. 2003, so it still recognises as a date and then do a custom format of BB to get it to show as 2003-04 on the chart 👍

NEW: The city with 13 bin collections 🗑️♻️

Rishi Sunak pledged to "scrap" having 7 kerbside bins back in September. But what is the right number of bins? And how can we fix the UK's stagnant recycling rate?

For today's @thetimes, I dived into Britain's bins 🧵👇
