If @realDonaldTrump gets compensation from the BBC, it’s British licence-fee payers’ money he’s taking. People like you and me. He’ll be taking our money. Money that I’ve given to the #BBC to produce great TV & radio. Trump, if you take my money, I want it back #HandsOfftheBBC

I’ve got 2 parcels that @DHLGlobal have failed to pick up. Can’t get any info out of their helpline or on their website. Anyone know how I can get hold of a person to find out what is happening?

Has @bbcnickrobinson’s interviewing got more aggressive on @BBCr4today ? His sneering tone towards @EdwardJDavey this morning was obnoxious & almost made me turn off. Clearly trying to score points as he kept returning to Davey’s stunts. (I’m not now an LD member/voter btw)

Soon I'll be riding 660km at age 60 to raise money for @PowerOfBicycles Latest blogpost below (& free advertising for @ChiaCharge @nakd @veloforte 😆) What do you eat when you ride long distances? worldbicyclereliefuk.enthuse.com/pf/tim-cole/po…

I'll soon be taking on the challenge of riding 660km at age 60 to raise funds for @PowerOfBicycles (World Bicycle Relief) which supports low-income communities. I'd welcome any support! Latest update below: Riding in a heatwave & the mountains worldbicyclereliefuk.enthuse.com/pf/tim-cole/po…

👋🏻 @Bridgestone This tyre is less than two years old but is starting to crack inside the treads & air is escaping (slowly but steadily- I’m having to pump them up about once a week). Presumably your warranty would cover this tyre as it’s not normal wear & tear? I’m a UK customer

International Election Observation Mission to #Somaliland’s 2024 elections launches final report horndiplomat.com/2025/03/intern… @HMATimCole stated: “We congratulate the NEC and Somaliland for its successful holding of elections in a calm and peaceful environment. There is still work to be done to bring Somaliland’s elections up to international standards. As we launch our final report, we hope our recommendations will be useful in helping Somaliland as it continues its democratic journey. With the next parliamentary elections not at all far away, the focus must be kept and this important work must go on.”

@AnnelieseDodds Thank you for taking a principled stand @AnnelieseDodds 🙏🏻 Cutting ODA is a strategic mistake (as @DavidLammy told us just a few weeks ago). The increase in defence expenditure is clearly necessary but could have been found through taxation &/or flexing borrowing rules.

It is with sadness that I have had to tender my resignation as Minister for International Development and for Women and Equalities. While I disagree with the ODA decision, I continue to support the government and its determination to deliver the change our country needs.

We’re pleased to announce the appointment of a new leadership team at @TentOrg – including new VPs of the Americas, Europe, and Global Communications & Marketing. These individuals are collectively poised to help drive the next stage of our growth and impact across the Americas and Europe 🙌 You can learn more about them, as well as our newly appointed suite of Directors, here: tent.org/tent-news/tent…

We’re immensely proud to share that @KarinHeri , our Country Director for Sweden, has received a 2025 Diversity Index Award! 🏆 This prestigious award recognizes individuals and organizations in Sweden that demonstrate impact and innovation in the pursuit of diversity, inclusivity, and acceptance. Karin was recognized for her efforts at @TentOrg mobilizing major employers across the country to address the structural barriers refugees face when trying to enter the labor market and help them connect to jobs. This work is more crucial than ever, as Sweden is currently hosting approximately 280,000 refugees, so many of whom are struggling to find employment – despite companies across numerous sectors struggling to fill open roles. Congrats, Karin – and thank you for your unwavering dedication in helping to bridge this gap and create pathways for refugees to rebuild their lives through work! 📷: Christina Wallin diversityindexaward.se/nyheter/arets-…

This week, we hosted in Amsterdam together with @indeed and @Refugees (#UNHCR) our latest in a series of job fairs in Europe, after Paris, Berlin, and London! 40 employers met with around 1,400 refugee job seekers at the @cruijffarena 🇳🇱

I’ve just read these fantastic books by two of the UK’s very best journalists (and former roommates!) @sarahrainsford & @MishalHusain Both are fascinating, moving & tell their stories at pace. If you’re looking for a late Christmas present, you’ve found it now

In #Somaliland, I was lucky to get a morning off & visit the #LasGeel cave paintings. Well worth seeing if you get a chance. The fact cows are in the paintings show how the climate has become drier & hotter since they were painted as only camels and goats in the area today

Goodbye #Somaliland! Thanks for the great welcome, your generosity, your kindness and all the laughs! See you soon 😘

My first ever podcast interview! Great to discuss the conclusions of the International Elections Observation Mission to #Somaliland on the Maxaa Cusub podcast today

@Saudia_Care @Saudi_Airlines See the DM below. You seem to be confused. There are no rescheduled flights from Incheon to London as @Saudi_Airlines has cancelled all the flights

@HMATimCole @Saudi_Airlines @HMATimCole "Welcome dear guest, kindly check your DM. Thank you"

What’s going on with @Saudi_Airlines ? They cancel all their flights from South Korea to London and then offer a refund to stranded passengers, including my daughter, of just £62 on a £500 return ticket having promised a ‘full’ refund. Awful customer service 😡

@Saudia_Care @Saudi_Airlines 👋🏻 @Saudia_Care I’ve sent you the details but you haven’t got in touch yet. Please could you asap. You’ve cancelled your service from South Korea, left people stranded and offered a refund of £62 for the return flight!!!

@HMATimCole @Saudi_Airlines @HMATimCole Hello dear guest, we hope that you will provide us with the details privately through the following link: 2u.pw/eYYnQ. We appreciate your communication
