@thames_travel So where is the 1702 x40 from Woodcote to Reading? Answer, nowhere on the map. Why is your service so very shoddy of late often running at least 30 minutes late or even buses canc? What's the point of Twitter account? You are hopeless!

Due to a technical issue our 09:55 X2 that is due to depart the Oxford Railway Station to Didcot will start from Peachcroft Roundabout at 10:22 Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

@TfLAccess Get it sorted. Effing useless.

⛔ Lancaster Gate: The station is currently closed. This is due to a temporary unavailability of station staff. ➡ To re-plan travel: tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey ➡ Live station status: #stations-status" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tfl.gov.uk/tube-dlr-overg…

@Reuters The average American hasn't figured out George Washington is dead yet.

Gillian Anderson, who won an Emmy Award for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in the Netflix series 'The Crown,' was asked if she had spoken to the late British prime minister for the role. Thatcher died in 2013

@AdeleGroyer @TheActuaryMag @john_actuary Great work. Interesting to see the impact of the vaccines on reduced mortality but what about morbidity and long term Covid? Is there generally enough data at the moment to make accurate assumptions around the impact(s) morbidity-wise, or is that picture still forming?

SARS-CoV-2 variants technical briefing 21 was published today. Hospitalisation and death rates are shown for people aged 50 plus with the Delta variant, split by vaccination status. These rates are 11 times higher among the unvaccinated than in the fully vaccinated 1/3

@Reuters U.S and intelligence should not occupy the same sentence.

Top U.S. military officer General Mark Milley said there had been no intelligence to indicate that the Afghanistan security forces and government would collapse in 11 days, as they did reut.rs/3ka4Xpf

@yanisvaroufakis If they were a credible opposition then it might matter more. No more electable today than they were under Corbyn, that should really concern the current leader.

I just heard that Kier Starmer expelled Ken Loach from the Labour Party. I hope this is fake news. If not, all he managed is to expel Labour's soul, leaving behind an arid, soulless Labour Party - one that is even poorer than under Blair and his fellow war criminals.

@yanisvaroufakis Lucky you didn't mention the war! About the only thing you missed.

Just met a German tourist who insisted that Merkel was great for Germany. He didn't like my mentioning: Vaccine roll out. Non-system to evacuate during the floods. Awful 4G network. Dieselgate, Wirecard & Deutsche scandals. Or that 50% of Germans are worse off today than in 2005.
