@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Is there any reason why Labour shouldn’t champion a federal UK as policy? Bring on-board the SNP, Plaid and others but conserve the Union. Could even garner support from Rory’s SLUPs?

@JonArmstrongLaw Sorry, the frustrations of yet another week passing by are getting the better of me. Britain’s legal system may have a proud and storied history, but timescales for simple transactional legal matters have friends and relatives abroad reduced to mocking and incredulity

@JonArmstrongLaw @sglaisteryoung One takes leave rather than goes, no? As for solicitors’ traditions, failure to communicate with clients nor move things along anything resembling a timely fashion seems de rigour, in my experience

@spragg247 A wise old university head once reminded me, to never underestimate the ability of university administrators to find things to administrate

@LDNLutonAirport any chance of pulling in a few more border control staff this morning? Full arrivals hall and only two desks open. We’ve been here 30 mins and still only made it into the first line of the zig zags

@RussInCheshire Unfortunately, it’s only when the 52% grasp this that there’s a small chance of doing something about it

@roadcc Any idea what this image which repeats several times down the page on the story about the Australian road rage/murder case is? Bizarre image to pop up when reading about a cyclist tragically killed!

@RoisinTheGinger @graciemad My wife, experienced chartered engineer, would regularly get this when she brought graduates with her on site visits. She liked to let it run until the grad cracked and admitted there was little point asking him questions, my wife was the one who had the answers.

@CrimbleEthel @BarristerSecret Not quite. At least, not when you need to use jumbo crayons so the recipient feels comfortable and familiar with the medium.

@irishpeloton Have you just outed yourself as @ukcyclingexpert ??

Never a good sign when the MOT tester comes back in clutching the handbrake release cable in his hand

@kingstrato Story time: my nan was out to dinner with friends. Before the food arrived, a waiter put a bowl of gravy on the table in front of her, which she duly proceeded to drink and when the waiter passed by again, ask him where everyone else's soup was, before the penny dropped.

@casinoroyalepb @jameschappers You're talking about removal of a right which already exists. Are there any other rights you'd like to sign away so that Johnson, Rees Mogg and his ilk can make a quick buck?
