I don’t post uni comms; I’m reposting because this is amazing. We started from nothing - other than ambition, imagination and collective expertise - and in just a few years this is the result. Amazing work, and lots of it, by all those involved. Proof it can be done! Fantastic.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Dafydd Elis Thomas. I count myself fortunate to have worked with him and Prof Tom Pritchard. Good humour, mischievous intelligence and great charmer when needed! One of the few great statesmen, I’ll miss his passion for all Cymru. RIP.

Five years of Brexit and not a single regret for voting Remain. It was national self-harm with zero benefits. No border control changes, no big trade deals, more red tape, more bureaucracy, and higher taxes. All pain, no gain.

#Brexit promise v Brexit reality

Why is the government happy to cosy up to China, but won't even look at a better customs deal with our closest neighbours in Europe? Ministers say they’re looking everywhere for growth but are ignoring what is staring them in the face.

A pretty damning first five years of Brexit, quantified here rather neatly.

Seaside snow. Exciting but it’s very wet and starting to melt. #uksnow

I’m British. I recently spent 10 days in the USA for business. And discovered the ocean between us isn't water. It's mindset. 7 uncomfortable truths about US v UK culture:

For anyone of a certain age and musical background listening to the EE advert at the moment - the answer is Prodigy and Out of Space. Suddenly I was back in the 90s.

Great piece of work by Victoria Moody and the team at Jisc, really substantive work and recommendations. Still no sign Jisc can refer to the Janet network by name though, shame.

@ListerLawrence Is there evidence of the consequence of any confusion? How do people find you? Is it through the car or the brand? If you want a fudge - Listers and Classics.

Ok car Twitter, I have a question: We have been running a Classic, Sports and Prestige Car Dealership infor 4 years under the name “Lister Classics” - however our Marketing Director thinks we are causing confusion because we don’t only sell Lister’s. Shall we change the name?

Sorry to read about the passing of Bruno Sacco. I still have one of his finest creations (in my view) a 560sec (c126), and I often lust after a w124. For non-Mercedes folks this won’t mean anything, but for some it means we have lost one of the finest ever. #brunosacco

Today we learned that Bruno Sacco, Head of Styling at Mercedes from 1975 to 1999 has died. The most influential car designer in my life - I've owned 7 cars that he designed. Post your Bruno Sacco cars as a tribute. Mine, at @rustivalfest today.

@Tom__Lovelock @A_S_G @NotPoshPete Have you seen the Mugen version? Hmmm… if it wasn’t for the fact I’ve got the Smart Coupe, and the SLK and the TTS and… apparently a problem with acquiring small two seaters… 🤷🏻‍♂️

@A_S_G @NotPoshPete @DanJPerry I can't get enough of those S660s 🤌

@Pietro_Panarisi @DrivingTalk If you’ve gone through the expense of creating it, then why not do an ultra low number run? Or a partnership with the engineering company if it can’t be done directly? Looks more attractive than the new m5!

@DrivingTalk It’s a one-off. Won’t go on sale. But the details are here: skodamedia.com/en-gb/releases…

We’ve always thought the Škoda Superb would make the perfect ‘sleeper car’. So, we put the theory to the test and commissioned a one-off special. Turns out we were right! 477 BHP. 661 Nm of torque. 1,950 litres of boot space. #skoda #superb #car #performance
