Having devoted the last 3 months of my life to fighting to #SaveWNO - blackmailed &threatened into silence by this very organisation - I have no words for this insincere & deeply hypocritical outpouring. 🤬 @lisanandy cannot resume the inquiry into @ace_national fast enough.

I have no doubt @LibDemPress are already on it, but a reminder to all the broadcasters and media that the @LibDems are now clearly the 3rd Party so let’s see and hear less of Parties with only 5 MPs, and much more of a Party with 72 MPs.

@jjohnstonmezzo I see the argument, “receives the most funding” quite a bit, but it never seems to take into account a per capita of employed person… opera costs more because it uses a higher number of people than other art forms per production. That is a metric we don’t see.

“People are not 3 times sicker than they were a decade ago” says the man whose party has systematically destroyed the NHS over the past decade or so.

Please sign this petition demanding that @EDCouncil properly tackles road safety before we have any more death on our roads. Many incidents on our roads would be avoidable with proper infrastructure for walking and cycling, and traffic calming. change.org/p/immediate-ac…

Lovely to finally meet @lucyschaufer in person today!

@fasc1nate In 1995, U.S. and Canadian wildlife officials released 14 wolves in Yellowstone National Park. No one expected the miracle that the wolves would bring.

Juggling, "playing" the double bass, while singing, on stilts, on stage! All in a day's work for #SOBarber Chorus Member @PhilGault. Go BTS with Stilt Consultant Mike Rowan & Phil as they show what it takes 🤡✂🧐 See the action yourself in our joyous ★★★★★ production 🎟👇

As much as we might find this ironic, let’s give them tons of data!

One of the very few Grade I listed bike sheds in the uk: @St_Catz. Built by Arne Jacobsen in the 1960s. Fond memories of using it for my little Raleigh Hercules bike!

We don’t want to fund ENO, because they’re too London. We’d rather fund the regions. No, silly! Not THAT region…

@SevernSearcher @Peston @chedwardes I’d guess that; a) You’re hearing about them because they’re famous; Joe Bloggs from the next town over isn’t going to get much publicity. b) Because they have an amount of celebrity, they have greater opportunity - more money, more access, etc.

Watching the Ch4 doc reminded me that @chedwardes wrote this about Russell Brand in her Evening Standard column in January 2019, after Brand told the Sunday Times he supported #MeToo

@ScotRail I’m sure they can. They don’t though.

@PhilGault We can never guarantee air-con as faults can occasionally occur. Crew can open windows on our Class 334 trains which serve Milngavie if they've established an air-con failure. ^Paul

@scotrail What’s the point in having the windows on the train locked “because we have air conditioning” if you don’t actually turn the aircon on? On a 27° afternoon (outside, not in a metal tube in the sun… considerably hotter onboard)

@ScotRail Also, that doesn’t solve the problem… either guarantee aircon or allow us to open the windows. Locking them is ridiculous

@PhilGault Hi, sorry the carriage temp is uncomfortable. It might be worth moving to another carriage as each carriage has its own separate air-con unit and it may be cooler elsewhere on the train. ^Paul

@ScotRail None at all on the Milngavie train

Not often you get to meet one of your heroes… but here is @AliBrownleetri just after winning the UCI gravel bike race yesterday!
