@manairport a friend was bringing me olive oil on SQ301 but your security confiscated it, saying he couldn't even check it in. Told him the 'no-oil' rule is on your website. Can you point me to where?

If the political gods were fair, someone with a loudspeaker would have blasted the opening of the Gills' anthem -- 'come on you blue boys... well here we are, a sea of blue' -- on repeat, but I suspect those gods have decided that it's a lost cause

@adwin84 @GillsInTheBlood Absolutely, it was brilliant. The previous home match I saw was when we secured promotion to League 1, in April 2013. So I seem to be able to pick them well 😄 Won't leave it as long until the next one, though!

Was a lot of talk about it today, the value of fan content & particularly vloggers. I’m passionate about what I do (even if it is essentially a hobby) & make no apology for it, because it’s about more than likes, subs & views. It’s about having fun & more importantly the below.

It's been almost 10 years to the day since I made it to a home match. It's good to be home (of the shouting men) #Gills #uptheGills

Pleased to represent the @The_IoD on BBC World Business Report this morning. Short-term help for business is welcome. We also need to see more govt action to transition to a low carbon economy & reduce the UK's reliance on volatile intl energy markets in the medium to long term.

The number of people engaging in flat-out fatphobia is depressing. There are many reasons to criticise this appointment but Coffey's weight and appearance are not among them.

@AlexHallChen @BBCSport @IanWright0 My pleasure always Alex. When I was at school there were no girls football teams… I was good enough to play with the boys but was never allowed to… because I was a girl. Women’s football has certainly come a very long way… ⚽️ #thisgirlcan

@skinnylatte What I love about the policy is that it's complemented by relatively cheap, efficient, and widespread public transport. Places like London, which make car use expensive without making public transport cheap, are a nightmare.

@GWRHelp Also, if the break was 30 mins then why are both the 22.27 and 23.27 trains to Slough cancelled?

@GWRHelp Why wouldn't buses be told to accept train tickets? Why was a signaller break not accounted for in scheduling? What would you suggest a passenger stranded as a result of TfL/GWR incompetence does? None of this makes any sense.

@GWRHelp Hayes and Harrington-Slough trains cancelled. Station staff told me my ticket would be accepted on all local buses to Slough. Took a bus to Heathrow and tried to connect on the 4 bus, told they'd not had notification to accept train tickets. Now stranded. Complete joke.

@skinnylatte Those comments always sound so forced, too, and like they're doing queer people a favour (same with any reference to Pink Dot). When 'support' is so flimsy, it can disappear quickly. Who would want to build their home on quicksand?

@geofftech Will I be able to change onto the tube from the EL without tapping out? E.g. once the sections are connected will I be able to change from EL to Bakerloo line at Paddington without tapping out?

@Botanygeek Most Westerners can't conceive of their countries as anything other than liberal paradises from which they can lecture the rest of the world. God forbid we pay attention to the erosion of freedoms at home when we could be lecturing countries about, idk, colonial-era laws 🤷‍♀️

@SamsungSG My husband ordered a Tab S8 Ultra a week ago. Money has been charged but he's not received any confirmation or product. Customer service continually says they're 'looking into it'. What's going on??
