The UK’s last remaining #coal fired power station is to shut at the end of September, drawing to a close Britain’s 142-year reliance on the fossil fuel to produce electricity: by @alexmdaniel independent.co.uk/news/uk/labour…

Small businesses around the country said they feel “frightened” as they prepared for further rioting by boarding up shop fronts and closing early ✍️: @RosieShead and @alexmdaniel independent.co.uk/news/uk/london…

@Robboboro67 @CriticalCupcake Hi Ann - sorry to hear about your experience with sk:n. Please could you give me a follow back so I can send you a DM about it? Thanks!

@CriticalCupcake I’ve paid money too for future appointments I’ll never see that again.

sk:n has gone into administration.

@ItsMarigold_ Hi Mary - I'm with the @PA. Would be really keen on hearing about your experiences with sk:n. Would you mind giving me a follow so I can drop you a DM? Thanks!

The sknclinics website has been taken down after emailing their customers on the same day that they will cease trading and directing them to their website. Millions of customers have lost their accounts, treatments and money. I'm so disappointed #sknclinics

@KempCathrynkemp Hi Cathryn, I'm a journalist with @PA. Was hoping to ask you about your experience with Sk:n clinics closing down. Would you mind giving me a follow back so I can send you a DM? Thanks!

Anyone know whats happening with sk:n clinic? An appointment today, they called to say the doctor was running late the appointment moved to later this afternoon. Then an email saying the appointment cancelled, call to rearrange. I called, a msge said they've ceased trading!

'Tarantino’s fake products underline the fact that the action is all taking place somewhere else. It’s a wink and a nudge that you’re not quite in reality.' @alexmdaniel on the painstaking effort put into creating fictitious brands for film and TV: on.ft.com/3TTNvbs

From Waystar RoyCo in Succession to the films of Quentin Tarantino – fictional companies are all around. For @FTMag, I spoke to the designers behind them about their process, what they're poking fun at, and letting their imaginations run free 🎥 ft.com/content/73883b…

@MikeReissWriter Hi Mike – I'm a freelance journalist writing a piece about film and TV writers for a UK national newspaper. Would love to interview you for our article. Please could you give me a follow back so I can send you a DM? Alternatively I'm on alex.daniel.freelance@gmail.com. Thanks!

Why does my wife keep putting me on submarines?

@SabbineSa @lambeth_council Hi Sabine – I'm a freelance journalist writing about housing in Lambeth for a national magazine. Would love to chat if possible – please could you follow me back so I can send you a DM? Thank you!

How about homes you + @lambeth_council emptied + couldn't refill? Not an issue before you became cabinet member for Housing or regeneration. Unable to fulfil a simple role: maintain and fill homes, preferring the long, costly rebuild with no homes for the homeless.

@pete556 @cplocal @PeoplesAudit @brixtonbuzz @GreenPartyScott @Lambethgp @WhyDemolish @LambethLabour @LambethLibDems Hi Pete – I'm a freelance journalist writing about housing in Lambeth for a national magazine. Would love to chat if possible – please could you follow me back so I can send you a DM. Thank you!

Where have all the tweets from @HomesForLambeth gone? Wonder if they have been deleting emails as well? We need a full, independent inquiry into the decision making, governance, contracts and full lessons learned so that #Lambeth and other councils do not make the same mistakes

There aren't many people alive today who have invented a new musical instrument – even fewer have actually found success with it. But Tim Meeks, creator of Stevie Wonder's favourite new toy, the harpejji, is one of them. I wrote about it for @guardian theguardian.com/music/2023/aug…

🚨SCOOP 🚨 @Ripple Europe chief @sendiyoung tells the great @alexmdaniel that the 'huge win' in the US case on XRP's status as a security is helping momentum in 🇺🇸🇪🇺 and beyond (they're gunning for a 🇬🇧UK @TheFCA crypto licence now) dlnews.com/articles/marke…

@philippagkelly @bjp1854 Ah thanks Pippa!

@alexmdaniel @bjp1854 I loved this sm!!

Award-winning documentary artist Mathieu Asselin is back, with a visual investigation into the Volkswagen emissions scandal. We talked cars, corporate evil and why artists should meet these issues head-on, for the British Journal of Photography 1854.photography/2023/07/mathie… @bjp1854

I'm in the new British Journal of Photography interviewing Mahmoud Khattab. His photos explore loneliness and losing one's sense of self, all shot covertly during his compulsory service in the Egyptian army. It's really brave, vulnerable work. @bjp1854 1854.photography/ones-to-watch-…

@ellamharold This looks amazing!

Everyone's got a renting horror story, and I couldn't be more THRILLED that we are publishing Róisín Lanigan's. Her fantastic debut - complete with unchic landlord furniture and the most perceptive depiction of an estate agent you can imagine - is so relatable, and SO DAMN GOOD.

@elliemaeohagan We were told last week that our pokey little flat share is going up by £500 quid a month, which is effectively an eviction notice. We’re far from alone.
