@yami___78 It's all subjective. I've been singing No Rules in the shower since the studio version was released - already loved the song long before he hatched out of an egg!

@alisehaijima Sadly not... he has already chosen a new name but hasn't shared it yet.

@des__cribe It's a genuinely good tune with a strong message - I can't stop singing it 😆

i am so overwhelmed by the copious amounts of leg hair & chaos in windows95man's performance that i don't know whether i like it or not #umk24

@fabomartz @EurovisionTom Yeah, they love it! We won the public vote last year, it's just the jury placement that kept us in second place ;-)

@EurovisionTom Finland learned nothing from last year, I guess. It’s okay to send a funny song, but you already know what people think when it comes to voting in the end.

Windows95Man is going to Eurovision 2024 for Finland🇫🇮! 🦅💥🥚🩳

@AryaVolkan @SteveStuWill Yes! I was reminded of how two young lads cooperated to steal my mum's purse 😳

@adventure_ali_ @tpenta @HometoBilo @barriecassidy That's right - you are only born a citizen if one of your parents was a permanent resident at the time. Asylum seekers, tenporary workers and students - their children have no automatic status in Australia :-(

@tpenta @HometoBilo @barriecassidy Unfortunately I don't think the rules here work like that. You do not immediately become an Australian citizen by being born here. It's crap, so I do hope he grants her a bloody visa!

Friends, we have new hope for Priya and her family. Media are reporting that Immigration Minister Alex Hawke is considering allowing Tharni to apply for a visa. Please, can you tap bit.ly/EmailtheMinist… to email Mr Hawke, thank him for taking this step and -

@MRMV84 @AdamMGrant As someone who has been "in the wrong environments and people", I'm very happy to have spent the last 3 years avoiding them entirely :-P We're all different, but I will always choose to be fully remote.

@Rose_Matthews @AdamMGrant I personally think fully-remote work is convenient at the expense of longer-term health and personal development. We gain many other things from physical interaction with different environments and people, unless we’ve been in the wrong environments and around the wrong people.

Hey leaders trying to cancel all remote work: did you forget we made it work in a pandemic? Productivity is purpose and process, not place. It's driven by why and how we work—not where we work. Flexibility is here to stay. Those who reject it may not be bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@MRMV84 @AdamMGrant As long as that flexibility includes the option for an individual to be fully-remote. We don't all *gain* energy from in-person interactions ;-)

@AdamMGrant Yes to flexibility, no to fully-remote. Body language is a critical form of communication and for that you need physical presence. Plus those of us who get energy from people need the in-person interaction.

@DerekCa90862431 @siberianmi @AdamMGrant It's the "rarely" bit that I would argue has now changed. Sure, some will always prefer to meet in person - I know one person who has quit her job because she hates working from home - but there are now more of us who have figured out the 'trick' to remote work and are thriving.

@LarissaMVLopez @BBCBreaking Exactly! So what's the harm in adding us?

No further countries will be added to the UK's travel green list, as ministers prepare to update travellers on quarantine-free destinations  bbc.in/3fOodHU

@JackPhi04042252 @Jones2Alison @LizJarvisUK @BBCNews Well, its confirmed cases are rising (granted slower than the UK); its vaccination rollout remains very slow and the proportion of cases found to be new variants is increasing.

@Jones2Alison @LizJarvisUK @BBCNews I totally agree, but what people want is an explanation and evidence at why its been put onto the Amber list. From current data there is simply no reason to put Portugal onto the amber list. It's political and its affecting much more than those who took a risk of booking.

Portugal to be taken off England's travel green list, BBC understands bbc.in/3uRgcGe

@Karaza90 @Telegraph @BorisJohnson The system is clearly flawed. But, if I had to guess on those two cases I'd suggest it's down to the "share of positive tests", which indicates that the real infection rate may be higher than reported:

@Telegraph It’s still not clear exactly why certain countries are on the red list when there COVID cases a far less than USA (amber list) and other few amber list countries. Namely Qatar and Pakistan, both of these have much lower rates than some of the Amber countries. @BorisJohnson

🔴 Boris Johnson has warned that the Government "will not hesitate" to axe countries from the green list for travel amid growing concern that Portugal could be removed telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/…

@6Sally7 @lewizrs @standardnews Most of the "green" countries won't let Brits in for tourism. Adding a few more wouldn't matter!

@lewizrs @standardnews I know, for financial reasons, it’s all a bit mixed up I guess 😬

@brianjp13 @BBCBreaking They've been going up for the last few weeks...

@BBCBreaking Not entirely surprised. In my opinion a good move by the government. Covid case numbers are coming down.... So let's keep the virus out!

@pissgheti @BBCWorld Worldwide I think we're up to around 1,200. In the meantime over 3,000,000 have died from catching COVID, plus countless others are living with long-term disabilities. How long can Australia maintain its safety bubble?

@weekirst23 @Allisonmcintos8 @clairecohen It's currently under investigation by the garda (happened last month, apparently).

Dear everyone who thinks there's no such thing as casual violence against women...

@KMB193 @mary_rysdale @RaphaelSheridan @nycsouthpaw Also that some people are colour blind or interpret colours differently, and that printing ballots in colour would be a substantial cost increase.

@mary_rysdale @RaphaelSheridan @nycsouthpaw The difficulty with that, is that our main parties are red and blue. So I think that would add to confusion as they may think that red is their candidate. I understand the point though x

87,214 Londoners had their mayoral votes rejected because they accidentally voted twice in the ‘first preference’ column. That’s basically the equivalent of a full Wembley Stadium or - to put it another way - 1 in 30 of all votes cast in the election.

@gryphotic @MyKomment @Ryan_McGinty_ @arthistorynews @RaphaelSheridan As someone else kindly shared, this is what a spoiled ballot looks like:

@RikLivetweet @fascinatorfun @jonnymorris1973 @RaphaelSheridan 87,214 Londoners disagree with you!

@fascinatorfun @jonnymorris1973 @RaphaelSheridan Both crosses were in the "first choice" column This is not hard to follow
