@stevenjlally @Crofton_Labour Congratulations! It's an important role, sure you'll do a great job.

@sealifebham I'm trying to book for two adults and a 0-3 using the Kellogg's offer code. Apart from it being very difficult to work out how to do that on your website, it is refusing to add the 0-3 ticket, saying that "the combination of tickets is invalid". Why is it so hard?

For all steam and heritage railway fans next Saturday should be fun as @festrail ‘s ‘latest’ loco is steamed for the first time in 80years. Date for the diary @MrTimDunn !

Massive reform in land and housing needed. If we don’t do it now, will we ever?

In the last two days: - The UK has recorded the second highest death toll in the world (30,076). - The government has missed the 100,000 tests target for the fourth consecutive day. - A senior govt source has complained that workers are "addicted" to the furlough scheme.

This feels like a mistake to me & a failure to learn from the first phase. Too much has been imposed top-down with no local input. To be successful, contact tracing needs to be locally-managed & integrated with the work of our public bodies.

And by 'capitalism', he means 'neoliberalism'. Other systems of capitalism are available. Short term profit doesn't have to be the goal.

The fortunes of billionaires aren't earned, they are extracted: from nature, from underpaid labour, from the privatization of public goods, from political influence, from monopoly rent-seeking. No one "deserves" this kind of wealth.

@Tracey_TPlanner Fantastic little video

Just discovered #stopmotionstudio hours of fun and a more constructive form of screen time...! #animation #homeschooling #lego

Today is one year since the climate emergency was declared by the House of Commons. We must deal with the coronavirus crisis and then we must as country return to the issue of climate change. Tackling it will be an essential part of the jobs recovery we will need.

@XandF @KateLNER1 Webcam means you can have a gander

@jm_calcutt 1980's kids TV?

If a quiz question starts "Can you name..." is "no" a correct answer? Asking for a friend. @jm_calcutt

@XandF @YesterdayTweets @MrTimDunn @festrail It was excellent - very watchable and enjoyable

Finally caught up with #RailwayArchitecture on @YesterdayTweets . Great series. Well done @MrTimDunn & def looking forward to @festrail next week.

Apart from anything else, I don't get the cognitive dissonance that allows for: NHS staff are our heroes, champions and let us clap for them, but also: the ones that complain about PPE are awful lefty activists

@aiyeethesquid @jm_calcutt Unlike the question "Can you name a prog rock band featuring Rick Wakeman?"

@tgent_fens @HS2theTruth @Phil_Goodwin99 Very true. As a modeller, my biggest frustration is when planners use to modelling to justify/verify their schemes and expectations, rather than use it to find out what works best. And if the modelling isn't great, understand why and address it.

@HS2theTruth @Phil_Goodwin99 Most modellers would half agree. Modelling helps to identify which assumptions are important, which relationships we understand, and which outcomes are likely/unlikely.

A smallamendment: *some* people will surely swiftly revert to something like their previous pattern. Others will make fundamental changes. Some will travel more, some less, some differently. The crucial research questions are how many of each type, and who, and how to influence.
