@PBalban Thanks Paul, I knew you would be knowledgeable as a cyclist. I thought the same as you but people using it in an estate group as a reason to attack cyclists.

@lorrainemadden Although this has absolutely nothing to do with me, it’s a shared space with the intention of making the presence of cyclists more visible to other road users. It doesn’t mean that other vehicles can’t use it, neither that cyclists can’t use the lane without the markings.

@PBalban Could you clear up confusion for us please - is this a shared road marking or a lane only for bikes.

@JohnConnorMBE @GibChronicle Gibraltar workers that are resident in Spain care - they will no longer pay extra tax to Spain if they earn less than €60k.

The #Gibraltar Football Association are hiring a 'Governance & Regulatory Officer'. This, shockingly, is a newly created role. I hope the person employed is not just a puppet.

Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu flies past Gibraltar taking a longer flight route than necessary on route to the UN.
The Wing of Zion, Israel's equivalent of the US's Air Force One, crossed territory over Greece and Italy but then turned South toward the Strait.

Shame on Simon Harris for tyrannically blocking the will of the people of Ireland!
Conor McGregor for President to save Ireland.

🇮🇪 BREAKING: Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister, Simon Harris, has ordered his Party to BLOCK independent candidates, including frontrunner Conor McGregor, from running for President of Ireland. This is completely undemocratic. The Irish people cannot stand for this!

@AMStruggles @quellevoshanca @Calderon76J It is concerning that as during an audit a sample of transactions are examined, how many others escaped the net.

Cat finally out of the bag! Engineered by Ms Baglietto's dear friend, Mr Bossano, who wanted to repay her for her support & loyalty. Even the CM opposed this (not one of his lot) but his hands were forced, and so too others in the whole chain. But where did the monies come from?

Unable to make coffee,
& boil water too,
in this power outage,
I hope you make it through.
You have to open windows,
to get some fresh air,
you can’t even get the elevators,
you have to climb the stairs.
But Gemma says it will all be fine, let's all forget it, it's Valentine!

@GMB Just watched this, may I suggest that you ask Ranvir to watch this herself & observe the lack of compassion/empathy she displayed towards this young couple.
Sorry but I’m flabbergasted & appalled.
She is usually good but dunno what’s happened here, a time issue?
I’m 🫣😢

'It was your worst nightmare come true.'
The parents of seven-week-old Jimmy Alderman, who died after suffocating in a baby sling during hands-free breastfeeding, are calling for stricter safety standards for baby carriers.
Jimmy’s parents, George and Ellie Alderman, explained that Jimmy slumped too far in the sling, compressing his airway and restricting oxygen intake.

@DeviGib Only if you are on allowance system. In UK you get 15 free hours per week for 2 year olds and 30 for 3 year olds.

@lorrainemadden I'm not too sure what you get in the UK but I know the nursery tax credit in gib is decent. Like £5400 a year? I think. Don't quote me!

Can totally see how some people don't bother going back to work!
You spend all that time away from your babe to earn the money to pay your nursery fees and it doesn't feel worth it 😂

@neoghio Yes, that's my understanding too. Laws definately need to be brought into 2024. We are a long way behind UK standards.
English
@lorrainemadden I believe that's correct, the two weeks paid is common courtesy by local employers that has become the default, I don't believe there's anything written in law enforcing that.

And the award to the most current ridiculous unequal law in Gibraltar, in 2024 goes to...
"Maternity Leave: 14 weeks of leave are provided for women.
Paternity Leave: Men are entitled to 2 weeks of paternity leave."

@keith_azopardi Any chance they could public the maternity care report they mentioned in the GHA annual report, why is it being withheld?

Self-congratulatory whitewash & premature motion filed by Health Minister even BEFORE we’ve seen a Report she promises to publish & already wants congratulations on. Is this supposed to airbrush the long-standing concerns many people have expressed on Mental Health? Are users and families supposed to believe all is now fixed on Mental Health? Govt needs to be more serious on mental health than this

Given the current conversations around conflicts of interest, I thought it would be good to resurface the below thread.
Suzuki@SuzukiVitaraGib
Conflicts of Interest: a thread. Firstly we should address and define what a conflict of interest is. The UKRI is a good place to start (ukri.org/who-we-are/how…).
