Images of Peter with his dog's ball-chucker have defined the week. They have acquired almost cult status. Someone needs to interview that dog.

@parcelforce I sent a parcel to Germany but the tracking shows as having been delivered to my nominated collection point in Lindlar Germany. But I didn’t nominate a collection point. What should I do?

@parcelforce Tracking a parcel I sent to Germany using your service shows it as being available for collection at my nominated collection point, but I have never nominated one. What can I do?

Just occasionally, FCDO comms are for an audience of one.

NATO was founded 77 years ago today. The UK is a proud member of the most effective security alliance in history 🇬🇧

The BBC is grossly exaggerating the number of British citizens who want to be repatriated; the 130,000+ figure they are quoting is for people responding to the consular request for Brits to register so they know where and who they are, not for people wanting flights home
English
@WalkerMarcus Quite right. Reform clearly have no idea how listing works. It is an important tool to protect the heritage of the building, not what happens iinside it. Its bureaucracy is more likely to hasten the demise of churches with small congregations than help them to flourish
English
Listing doesn’t stop a church closing or being sold. Ensuring churches have enough money to repair the buildings, enough people to raise the money (and, one might add, worship in those buildings), and aren’t drowned in paperwork when trying to repair them might.

Reform will protect British culture, because a nation without a culture is just an economic zone. We will preserve Britain’s Christian heritage, granting listed status to all churches to prohibit their conversion into places of worship for any other faith.

There is a large group of voters who feel increasingly disconnected from today’s political choices - turned off by populism and looking for competence and realism.
Prosper UK has been formed to support a Conservative Party that is focused on growth, opportunity and responsible government, with respect for our institutions.
We believe Britain can do better, and prosper again.

@PeterJLuff Hi Peter, this looks to be caused by a points failure. I do apologise for this. -Julia

Let's be honest, the progressive capture of English Literature has not been good for the subject

@TK_HelpDesk But what is the problem? I have had Parkinson’s for at least 11 years and have flown on many airlines without difficulty. I just can’t see why @TurkishAirlines has this policy. There’s no symptom of Parkinson’s that justifies it. It is a foolish policy and I urge you to drop it.
English
Turkish Airlines ensures the safety of each of its passengers. For this reason, passengers with Parkinson's disease can board flights with a doctor's report stating that there is "There is no risk of travel." It must also state whether the passenger can travel with or without a companion. Your understanding is much appreciated. ^Cemre

@TurkishAirlines I am considering a holiday in Turkey and also using Turkish Airlines for a longer two-leg journey but I understand you do not welcome passengers with Parkinson’s and require a recent doctor’s note confirming fitness to travel. Why do you single out my condition?
English
@TK_HelpDesk But I don’t understand why you do this. What aspect of Parkinson’s makes this necessary? And the uncertainty about how long a doctor’s letter will take means I can’t now book a flight with you.
English
@PeterJLuff Hello, passengers with Parkinson's disease are permitted to board flights with a doctor's report stating that "There is no risk of travel." This report must also state whether the passenger can travel with or without a companion. ^Berk

@DCMS @lisanandy @nationaltrust Spot on Lisa, and @TNL players, through @Heritage Fund, have played a huge part in supporting industrial heritage - just look at @Beamish_Museum @BCLivingMuseum @svrofficialsite @NpTbridge @festrail and many others from canals to Shrewsbury Flaxmill.
English
Our industrial heritage is the story of the ordinary, extraordinary people who built this country in places like Ironbridge
Today, @lisanandy announced a £9 million government grant for @nationaltrust to protect museums in the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution

The culture secretary is absolutely right
Culture secretary: Mills can matter as much as mansions

That is why I was so proud of the support @TNLUK players, through the @HeritageFundUK, have given to places like the @BCLivingMuseum and @Beamish_Museum

@bernarddonoghue Sad news indeed, especially for Michael. Kevin was everything Bernard says, but I will also miss his generous hospitality and mischievous sense of humour. The world is a poorer place this morning.
English
Tragic news of the death of Kevin Bell, one of the most influential and ground-breaking lobbyists, public affairs specialists and political advisors. He died of a heart attack yesterday on his return from his and his husband’s home in Vienna. I only saw him a few weeks ago.
