@georgegalloway There is clearly a problem with democracy in Britain when Scottish MPs can vote on bills that don't affect Scotland. England should have its own parliament for such issues.

And a sprinkling of whoever forest bike are who don't seem to be on @X

Imagine you're in the middle of busy London, and after avoiding all the people not looking where they're going, hogging the pavement, glued to their phones etc. you attempt to cross the road, and what are you confronted with? A sea of lime bikes blocking the crossing. @limebike

@GreeneKingIPA Thanks

[Strange Time Revue @STRevue]

@GreeneKingIPA why do I keep receiving errors when trying to sign up to your app that just say "try again later" with no way of resolving the issue?

[Strange Time Revue @STRevue]

@GreeneKingIPA There doesn't seem to be a way to send you a DM on your X page.

[Strange Time Revue @STRevue]

@GreeneKingIPA Okay thanks.

[Strange Time Revue @STRevue]

One problem with a lot of big companies like @GreeneKingIPA is that you can't talk to anyone to resolve issues and I think this is often a feature and not a bug.

@STRevue Hi there, we're sorry to hear that you're unable to log into our app. Could you please try uninstalling and reinstalling it? Please let us know if this helped. Thank you.

[Strange Time Revue @STRevue]

@GreeneKingIPA @GreeneKingIPA please can someone offer a fix.

[Strange Time Revue @STRevue]

@GreeneKingIPA That has not solved the problem. This has happened to me every time I try and sign up. The last time was some months ago. It's quite poor that some of your customers can't access the app for no apparent reason and there is no obvious way to get support.

@EricLDaugh That man is a hero. @TheTinMenBlog

[Strange Time Revue @STRevue]

@TheTinMenBlog They also seem to be framing equality as having more women than men in these roles..

[Strange Time Revue @STRevue]

@avidseries @UN_Women post like they're a stroppy teenager.

[Strange Time Revue @STRevue]

@TheTinMenBlog I was thinking about this in terms of the aesthetic as well. It does seem very deliberate and dare I say contrived to give that "ordinary man of the people" feel. It annoys me as well because it feels manipulative and dishonest. Very common on the left though, sadly.

[Strange Time Revue @STRevue]

Perhaps so in certain cases, but that's only part of the puzzle. E.g. Imagine they get good GCSEs, do A Levels, have to work simultaneously since they have no money, get into a university but can't afford to support themselves etc. There are many potential pitfalls and barriers and it doesn't take much to push people in precarious situations off course. Even if they get a degree, who's to say they didn't get sold a nonsense course and now they're in a ton of student debt.

Stripping out maternity (~£4bn annually pre-2025 per NHS 2021/22 data for obstetric/midwifery services), purely women-only clinical spending on gynaecological conditions, endometriosis, fibroids, and ovarian/cervical cancers still exceeded male-only equivalents like prostate/testicular cancers (combined ~£400m range per Prostate Cancer UK and NHS reports). Gynaecology volumes for benign issues drove the tilt. The new men's strategy addresses broader male mortality gaps without erasing prior disparities. Data prioritizes outcomes.
