@agile_phil @amywenn @benbradbury @hypervolt (And reddit confirms this is seemingly a common issue with hypervolt users)

@agile_phil @amywenn @benbradbury Please check with @hypervolt also - it definitely has periods at reduced power that are nothing to do with the rest of the house’s usage.

No issue with time limit as long as we get full charge rate throughout the 6 hours

The trouble with delivery aggregators like @JustEatUK is if there’s a problem you’ve no idea if they’ll get back to you quickly or just leave you starving. Have a live chat option!

@thomasforth Ignorance is very much bliss atm

[Ben A @ukbababa]

.@TheBARPod afterparty a good chance to demonstrate that there is no faster drinker than a man with a babysitter racking up an hourly rate.

@BristOliver “Why is the USA so bad for political violence?”

@twlldun Sweet revenge for ‘Boris’ Bikes eh

[Ben A @ukbababa]

Things I’ve long believed likely will happen but rebadged: HS2, Customs Union, EU Mobility Scheme.

[Robert Ford @robfordmancs]

In other words bring back something that does the main job of HS2 but ditches the branding which is now toxically associated in the public mind with overspending and failure

[Ben A @ukbababa]

@jamesrbuk I’ve had a similar view for a while: any objection to housing development comes with a 1% chance the objector has their own house retrospectively designated as Green Belt and CPO’d for the wage inflation-adjusted price they paid for it.

I cannot stress this enough.

The Russians besieged, bombarded & starved Aleppo, and all the international community did was plead with Russia via the UNSC to allow an aid convoy in. One aid convoy.

Russia agreed. Then they bombed the UN aid convoy.

@thhamilton Perfect opportunity for some A/B testing

@twlldun At this point, the fact it’s published in the Lancet (Cf Iraq Body Count, PACE, MMR) should be a health warning in itself.

@jessesingal Counterpoint (based on the UK experience where Voter ID has just been introduced): voter fraud that could meaningfully change an election result is pretty much non-existent.

Introducing ID checks more likely to skew result than the fraud it supposedly stops.

[Ben A @ukbababa]

@SimonMagus I think you forgot the most important: age. Of all the divisions, the Tory party has given the strongest signal that it is the young (<40? <65?) it has the most distaste for.

[Ben A @ukbababa]

@Samfr Epic levels of shade thrown.

[Ben A @ukbababa]

@twlldun GB News currently have Kwasi Kwarteng and Mark Oaten.

At least one of whom is famed for shitting the bed.

[Ben A @ukbababa]

@Samfr Yeah, the Hartlepool comment on the Beeb is the first bit that made me question the exit poll.

[Ben A @ukbababa]

@twlldun It's almost as if Ed is less of a US patriot than he claims.

[Ben A @ukbababa]

@ShippersUnbound Fair play, excellent tweet.

The replies not getting the joke are even better.
