Hitting the slopes this winter? 🎿
Skiing without travel insurance is like skiing without brakes – just don’t.
Cover yourself for your activities, and make sure your plan covers medical evacuation.

@askworkspace - please help - I have a new, approved workspace for nonprofit, but I cannot sign in to the admin console. The initial "administrator" is set up with a gmail.com email address. How can I get help?

This is a brilliant thing to see! Thanks to all councillors and officers at @LewishamCouncil who made it happen, and also to the redoubtable @GetaCrossSE4

It took a while, but it's great to have the much-needed crossing for @Prendergast_PLS. 😁 Lots of people helped get it done, but special thanks to @LouiseKrupski for all her help.

@hwallop Looking at their website they seem to have different aphorisms on the sides of their different vans - very odd!

Waiting for the transport secretary to announce a consultation on dynamic pricing in the airline industry... andrewcollier.com/2024/09/02/why…

You want to talk about surge pricing try booking Center Parcs over the October half term.

I suspect Davis’ understanding of the effect of dynamic pricing on entertainment ticketing may be as extensive as his understanding of the effect of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act upon the CofE… (h/t @RoryStewartUK). Thoughts on dynamic pricing here: andrewcollier.com/2024/09/02/why…

BREAK - @DavidDavisMP tells me he has referred Ticketmaster to the Competition and Markets Authority over the dynamic pricing of Oasis tickets "The rules are not working - this needs to be put right" Full interview @SkyPoliticsHub 7pm

I've done a blog! And at my current rate of output it could be eighteen months till my next...

@warwickmansell (The other question might be the discrepancy between the GIAS / MAT’s website and the Companies House filings: …te.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/065434…)
English
But the question remains: if this trust, one of the most-closely-connected to national governance oversight in England in recent years, cannot get its governance information up-to-date and consistent, how can other organisations be expected to?

New: Lord and Lady Nash stand down as trustees of the academy chain they founded. Or do they?

@warwickmansell Also - and I’m now guessing - it wouldn’t surprise me if GIAS didn’t have an option for either co-chair or to register more than one governor as chair!
English
@warwickmansell Actually it is usual for the website not to be updated yet. See other replies!
English
@warwickmansell So theres no material contradiction between stepping down at end of academic year and remaining on GIAS until after first meeting of next academic year. Obviously this only one aspect! (3/3)
English
@warwickmansell Most boards elect a chair at the first meeting of the academic year. (Has always seemed odd to me, why not do it at the end of the previous academic year.) Until then current chair is technically the chair. (2/?)

@maitlis @Channel4News @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Reform and Greens each have 4 MPs - why are Greens lumped in with “Others”?

JB but you didn't
GJ no
[we adjourn for the day. GJ will be back at 1005 tomorrow. I won't be live tweeting but I'll be watching and will produce a report. Blog post up about today probably some time after the England game!]

JB recaps to ask if he was sure he was never told about his duties as an expert witness
GJ confirms
JB have you read Warwick Tatford (WT's) witness statement
GJ yes
JB and seen his evidence
GJ I was in the room that day [sniggers]

@SimonCalder Age 12 you can fly unaccompanied with Lufthansa group (and take responsibility for a younger sibling who is at least 5).

The 50 Ages of Travel
Just updated the guide to what you can/can’t do according to your age, from minus 12 weeks to 99.
Some weird stuff, eg Europcar has no upper age limit at UK locations – except at Plymouth, Exeter, Taunton and York where it's under 76.

And on that cheery note...
home time!
Just questions from core participant lawyers tomorrow.
I'll try to get a blog post up before too long.
Thanks for reading.

@warwickmansell Although this from Palladian’s Articles seems to give them the right to appoint rather than elect. Seems like odd language to me! (NB the Articles provide for Local Governing Bodies - not Local Governing Committees)
English
@warwickmansell The LGC should have included 2 elected parents (in addition to any appointed governors who may have also been parents). Different process to remove them. And even then they should have been replaced with two elected parents. Otherwise probably not consistent with MAT’s articles.
