@HammerToe London to Manchester on train would be more than £300.... probably.

Flight pricing sucks. My daughter just looking for a flight from UK to Barbados. BA have a flight from LHR -> BGI for GBP 1,150 return. They also have a flight MAN -> LHR -> BGI for GBP 850 return *the LHR - BGI leg is the same flight in both cases*. Ironically she lives about 15 mins drive from LHR. And the flight originating from Manchaster has a 12 hour layover in LHR. So she could literally get the train from London to Manchester... fly back from Manchester to London. Go back home and have a cup of tea and chill for some hours, then go back to Heathrow and get on the connecting flight to Barbados.

@Prabhav_Gupta @TfL @SadiqKhan Huh? #tfl is giving the option of working 4 days instead of 5 totalling the same hours. Greedy drivers want 4 days for full pay working the same number of hours per day. #tfl isn't in the wrong here at all. A four day work week means the same total hours, not a rate increase.

@TfL @SadiqKhan Shame on you #tfl for strikes - worlds most expensive&yet underrated &underdeveloped transport system - learn from #NYC or other European countries - public transportation is right and not benefit . #transportoflondon #londonunderground #poortransport #taxpayers

@DreaythVA @gnukeith To add to that, chickens *need* gravity to swallow as they don't have the required muscles. That's why they tilt their head back to swallow. Without gravity, chickens can't eat.

People are clowning on you but ill just give you a straight answer: While gravity helps, food is moved through your body via muscle contractions. You know how you can hold a tube of toothpaste upside down and it wont come out, but by squeezing the tube you can force it out? Your body basically squeezes the things you swallow through your system. Also yes, the body does have gravity, all mass has gravity, but we're so small compared to the earth that the gravitational pull we exert on other matter is practically nothing compared to how much gravity the earth has. Gravity increases with mass, and 1 human compared to the entire earth's mass is an insane difference. Tldr: You swallow and digest food because the muscles and organs in your digestive track contract, forcing it through. Gravity plays a role, but only in making the process less taxing on your body.

Stupid question, is there gravity inside the body because like how are they able to swallow stuff?

#HIGNFY on Trump's illegal attack on Iran Ian Hislop, "Trump literally thought the way to stop wars is to start them, and historically, that hasn't proved to be true" Armando Iannucci, "No" Ian Hislop, "He claimed that all of America's war aims have been fulfilled. It's impossible because they didn't have any" Armando Iannucci, "And he said that he didn't start it, they started it, and what he did was pre start it, because he knew they were going to start it" Ian Hislop, "And he is having negotiations with people who aren't imaginary" Armando Iannucci, "That's true" Ian Hislop, "Trump is not a fantasist who imagines that the voices in his head are the opposition in Iran negotiating. That's not his modus operandi" Paul Merton, "No because he's a malignant narcissist" Armando Iannucci, "He's the only person I know who negotiates with himself and comes out with a worse deal"

So #Trump spent 40B to be able to pay Iran massive tolls for every ship with the same regime in charge as was at the start of the war? Sounds like #Iran won.

@ZiaYusufUK Muslims coerced their families to vote for a Jewish, gay bloke. Adds up there, Sherlock.

It’s not “family voting”. It’s illegal coercion. And it will not be tolerated under a Reform government.

@RoyalMail "delivery attempted" with no card left, no attempt actually made. Impossible to reach a human on the phone or on the app. No way to raise complaints. Just robots on the phone and endless faqs on the support page. Is this customer experience intentional?

@JackEccles_JAE @GoodwinMJ The sectarian muslamic voters turned up in numbers for a gay, Jewish guy. Sounds about right.

This is not democracy. This is coercive, sectarian politics dressed up as democracy We are in deep, deep trouble

@afneil Is your argument based on any actual numbers? Or is your "no not brexit" now "those things more than brexit"?

Thanks for the compliment. If only we had your insight and expertise. It’s par for the course to be patronised by one of the anonymous ‘journalists’ at The Economist who write sneeringly about Britain as if they had a bad smell in their noses. I don’t doubt Brexit has lowered per capita GDP growth. It’s certainly hard to maintain it’s increased it! But I’m not convinced by the various efforts to measure it (usually by parti pris economists), which you happily promulgate without question. The OBR’s claim (still making it last November) that total UK trade is/will be 15% lower than if we’d stayed in the EU looks increasingly incredible. Plus so many commentators desperate to blame Brexit for trade declines simply attribute all the decline to Brexit. Sloppy. Since 2019 UK fuel (oil and gas) exports are down 22.5%, chemicals down 15% and iron/steel/glass/ceramics down 22%. These declines are as much to do with net zero policies, which have given UK the highest industrial energy costs in the world, as Brexit. Indeed I would argue it has much more to do with net zero, even if Brexit has contributed to the decline. But then The Economist is a fervent supporter of net zero — so we’re not going to hear that explanation from you, are we? @TheEconomist

@SantaPadre @PeterLBrandt Haha.... The US scores higher in most of that. More is better. Right? Erm...

@PeterLBrandt If We are toasted how would You call Yourself?

Congratulations, @carlosalcaraz! At least 18 more to go, kid. #bbctennis #AustralianOpen2026 #tennis

@DanielJHannan Did you just describe #brexit?

We must be mad, literally mad. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.

There's no shame in losing to a one legged man in an arse-kicking contest when that man is @carlosalcaraz, @AlexZverev. #bbctennis #AusOpen #tennis

@PedroDelHorno @Heccles94 Keep saying that, idiot. Who're you trying to convince? Yourself?

@ashic @Heccles94 That's what all Jew hating muslims and socialists say, you are no exception to that rule, Nazi.

@PedroDelHorno @Heccles94 I see you need a history lesson. Nazis hate Jews and we're fascist. Elon is a Nazi. You align with that dirtbag. That makes you a Jew hating fascist dirtbag. Good day.

@ashic @Heccles94 Please do. We managed to chase away most of you Jew hating fascists so all there is left is you left wing dirt bags.

@CrimsonPKing @afneil So you "bother" tweeting paragraph after paragraph but won't bother when asked to prove your utter fabrication. Funny that.

@afneil Yes it is, but I am not going to bother. You fall into histrionic senility every time you think you can blame something on Trump. Imagine a country that has been serving their daughters to the local mosques for years believing they have authority to criticize.

It’s not on video. People like you are just claiming it is. And I don’t worry about the NYPD — lot more professional than the federal agents in Minneapolis.

@afneil America is so messed up that many nurses always carry a firearm. The reason he was carrying might just be that he always carries. And that is completely legal there.

He should never have carried that gun to the protest. But that is hardly reason enough to shoot him 10 times when he had already been disarmed and immobilised. What is the evidence his gun discharged when the agent seized it? Is ICE making that claim? It can easily be tested.
