@lordtimfry @NeilNavarra It's more of a Neils thing. Our mum's gone to Icelands.

@NeilNavarra It is a Neil thing to get annoyed by this @hedgesn ? 😆

Is it a welsh thing, to put an S at the end of every supermarket name ? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤷🏽‍♂️

@PrifWeinidog *its

The cost-of-living crisis is being felt by families all over Wales. Extending free school meals to all primary school pupils is one of a number of measures we are taking to support you through this difficult time. This is Wales at it's collaborative and compassionate best.

@NewportBus you might want to have a word with the driver of this school bus. I don't think people want to see him pissing at the side of the A48 of a morning

#PanicAtThePumps queued up for three and a half hours today. I only wanted a Twix and newspaper.

@MinusPeach And you're using social media to decry social constructs?

“What are you doing to solve crime?” Well criminality is a social construct and the laws are designed to disproportionately impact vulnerable populations so ... nothing; we’re working to improve the material conditions for all instead.

@GavinFreeguard @TorstenBell @damawa42 @Samfr @instituteforgov @ONSDebraLeaker If I wanted to try and account for the acadmies, I'd take the acadamies estimates from table 11 ons.gov.uk/file?uri=/empl… and deduct from central government and add to local in the corresponding periods.

@DavidLammy The justice system requires innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, victims are complainants until proven they're victims. Rape and sexual assault is a horrific crime that you can't fast-track in a gung-ho way. These are appalling proposals which do not match how justice works.

Under the @Conservatives, rape prosecutions have fallen to an all-time low. Today @UKLabour announces it would: 1. Fast-track rape & serious sexual assault cases 2. Offer free legal representation for victims 3. Appoint a Minister for Survivors of Rape and Sexual Violence

@GavinFreeguard @instituteforgov @aliceolilly @thorpekj @bronwenmaddox @Emma_Norris Goodness me! End of an era. You know where I am if I can help in any way. Best wishes.

@CruisingTheCut Dogs walked, collecting concrete to repair garden wall, repair wall, walk dogs. Several cups of tea in between.

@NewportBus @louise29_louise Why are you running a Saturday service on a Tuesday?

@louise29_louise Hi sorry for the late reply, we are running a Saturday service with an early finish today. Hopefully you didn't have to wait much longer.

@NewportBus can you tell when the next bus is due on caerleon road as 30 mins and no bus is just dam right ridiculous in a city

@NewportBus the driver on Caerleon road driving the number 28 at 18.40 better have a good reason for his excessive speed, aggression and unnecessary use of his horn. We'll look at his CCTV shall we?

@PeterStefanovi2 But Cornwall isn't a region.

Cornwall is the second poorest region in whole of northern Europe & among 50 poorest on entire continent. Figures produced by Eurostat show people in Cornwall scrape by on less than £14,300 a year on average. This is not a “country that works for everyone” cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-…

@GavinFreeguard @jamesrbuk @ad_greenway @Emma_Norris @instituteforgov Sounds interesting. I'll see if I can book on.

@Aron_Cheung Sex rather than gender. Male and female rather than men and women. Collection variable is legal sex rather than a gender identity question 👍

For individual depts. - Only DfE has significantly more senior women than senior men - MHCLG, DHSC, Defra, MoJ have made significant progress - their SCS is now roughly 50:50 - DWP has the biggest gap between SCS and wider workforce - FCO and MoD have the worst SCS gender balance

What's happening to the civil service gender balance in 2018? Our updated explainer here: instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers/gen… In summary 👇

@GavinFreeguard @Aron_Cheung @James_Taylor66 @ONS @instituteforgov I think I've crunched enough numbers!

@GavinFreeguard @James_Taylor66 @Aron_Cheung What ever happened to the Lyons Review? 🤔
