@ukinqatar I took the land route from Doha to Riyadh yesterday

⚠️ Get your evisa in advance - you can get it on arrival but it’ll slow you down

⚠️ If you can, take one car door-to-door (buses were getting held up and vehicle handover at the border isn’t fun)

@ukinqatar Hey you guys, can you SAPTCO bus us to Riyadh so we can fly out of there? Was looking at this route anyway https://t.co/QGT2qhZXSU

@JamesIvings 🙏☺️ DM?

Ok that didn't work out. But feeling gutted for England isn't like it used to be. Back in the day, they were a packet of nerves and baseless frustrated entitlement. Now, they're brilliant, serious, diligent and unlucky. Much easier to live with.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Oh.

[Si Stephens-Manassiev @simonstephens]

@Reb_eccaB it you!!!

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

This is an act of genius.

the united kingdom is a very serious country

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

A turning point in The Telegraph? Project fear was right and ‘if anything have underestimated both the calamitous loss of international standing and the scale of the damage that six years of policy confusion and ineptitude has imposed on the country.’ https://t.co/aGnlzS1CLs

THIS is the graphic that you all need to share today.

Pig-ignorant illiterate anti-scientific illiberal busybody authoritarian bullshit of the highest order. One of the stupidest possible suggestions from one of the stupidest possible politicians. https://t.co/ulvSfn2xDe

Why interest rates rising in the 2020s is *not* the same as in the 1980s:

- UK house prices have increased by over 1,000% since 1980 (so debt is much higher).
- Real wages have stagnated for over a decade.
- There is no mortgage interest tax relief.

As I’ve said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana.

Today, I’m taking steps to end our failed approach. Allow me to lay them out.

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

No-one who arrives on our shores having fled war, persecution or violence should be treated like a criminal.

[Ed Conway @EdConwaySky]

You’ll have seen a lot of charts in the past few weeks.
But this one REALLY matters.
The mortgage burden - the % we spend on our repayments - is heading for the highest level since the late 80s.
Last time it hit these levels it preceded the biggest housing crash in modern history

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

After the right turn, the U-turn. But Kwasi Kwarteng's panicked climbdown still leaves £43bn in tax cuts.

Growth won’t pay for them so spending cuts worse than austerity will - an amount equivalent to closing every English school.
