Tim Roll-Pickering

@georgepudding3 @JonathanPieNews @Greekbluenose The designer perhaps but did everyone else who had to sign this off realise what they were doing?

@timrollpickerin @JonathanPieNews @Greekbluenose As an ex-graphic designer, I can tell you, the designer knew exactly what they were doing.

Here are some Easter eggs from the 1980's with no mention of Easter on the packaging. My personal favourite was the Lion Bar one. Can we all move on from this now please?

@ClarkVasey @jackmrankin Presumably the income and that other universities do it. The harsh reality is that the big cities have international recognition and it's easier to recruit to London than to a place part of the internet claims doesn't exist.

@jackmrankin How does the University of Cumbria even justify this? Zero benefit to Cumbria having a campus in Tower Hamlets.

Below is one of the University of Cumbria’s campuses. Where in Cumbria* is it? Nowhere near – it is in Tower Hamlets which is 288 miles away. This is just one example of London outposts allowing postgraduate students to bypass immigration rules and work in this country 🧵

@tomhfh What's the one for someone old enough to remember Generation X as a sign there were too many X-Men titles?

If you're British you have absolutely no business saying 'Gen Zee'. We had generation X, generation Y, and now we have generation Z. Zed.

@kevinbonham So what exactly is missing at the moment that the bill seeks to correct?

@timrollpickerin We already get those.

Good to see this progress in Victorian electoral law - following a successful Liberal amendment in the Legislative Council all lower house counts must now be thrown to completion with full official preference distributions within three months. #springst #1796" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">parliament.vic.gov.au/parliamentary-…

@sarah_stook Happy Birthday! X

It’s my birthdayyyy. Happy Ides of March x

@220_d_92_20 @TheGazetteUK It's so easy to get them mixed up.

Tuesday was the day the @TheGazetteUK needed to correct minor spelling errors in the names of two honoured servicemen that were made 54 and 59 years ago. I like this country.

@SimonMagus They're proved highly effective in many other cities.

@timrollpickerin What success?

We closed it down because it was shit. Lost money. Broke down all the time. Lost more money. And people bought cars and the city bought buses. Didn't need a tram.

@DerekOwens8761 @gpchatbot Farage was already a Ukip parliamentary candidate by then.

@gpchatbot Hardly surprising is it, as none were in politics at any level when Dunblane happened, so Ed Davey would have no knowledge of what their sentiments were on the issue?

20 years on from Dunblane, these three smirk as Ed Davey points out they called a request for a handgun ban "Ludicrous". If you want to keep your kids safe, never vote for this disgusting bunch.

@Chewbaccasbeard @bigbadloup @____Foxtrot____ It was on the Boe website but how many people go there? bankofengland.co.uk/news/2025/july…

@bigbadloup @____Foxtrot____ They kept it bloody quiet. If one has to be a collector of such knowledge to have known about it then it’s small wonder ordinary people didn’t get a chance to express our opinions.

@iainmartin1 Was 11 November 1975 a glorious day for democracy in the Westminster System?

Case for an elected Lords now unanswerable.

@DarrenJohnson66 @lukeakehurst @Layo_FH We must be so grateful he is known to have stopped off at the Conservatives.

@Layo_FH ZP went from orange book Lib Dem and Coalition fan-boy, to moderate Green concerned about antisemitism, to the left-populist reincarnation of Corbynism who can't even bring himself to denounce the 'Zionism is Racism' motion.

It suggests he’s spineless and on such an important issue too. He strikes me as a cynical man.

@JohnRentoul Sometimes governments do too much. The more time spent on this, the less to spend on bad schemes that will hurt more people.

How does removing Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession even feature in the top 500 things that parliamentary time should be spent on? Helen MacNamara independent.co.uk/voices/prince-…

@shal2500 @kevinbonham Is that twinned with Dull and Boring?

@kevinbonham it's a bit like Bland Shire isn't it?

Is calling an electorate "Deception Bay" really a good idea? "The aptly-named honourable member for Deception Bay ..." #qldpol

@ExecSuperHead @DarrenJohnson66 Was there a split when the Greens moved away from the 1980s environmentalist party that could get Farage's vote or has the shift been gradual and Polanski just the end result of years of movement?

@DarrenJohnson66 I’ve been predicting a split in the Green Party as the pre Polanski members soon won’t recognise their party as the Momentum takeover is completed with the policy prospectus moving ever leftward and largely forgetting the environment.

Away from Westminster and any sort of career and re-election calculations I've had several conversations with longstanding Green members who are thinking of making a similar journey as me or have quietly already done so. Not everyone in Greens is impressed by Polanski's populism.

@kevinbonham Someone has *got* to counterpropose "Decepticon"...

@Nadeem83Shafqat @btharris93 Some really really really important points of ideology that nobody outside the far left can understand.

@btharris93 My thoughts exact Ben. Both parties have similar policies esp on foreign affairs and Israel. What difference is there between them?

What is even the point of Your Party now? They may as well just merge with the Greens.

@MStanton2001 @Bitmeight @6NewsAU How do you know more people preferred him to any other candidate? The knock out process means not every candidate is tested against every other. Would he have beaten Scott if that had been the final 2CP?

@Bitmeight @6NewsAU More people preferred him to any other candidate. AEC only runs federal elections.

#BREAKING 🚨 Labor has won the Nightcliff by-election, giving them a fifth seat in the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly The Greens led on primary votes with an 11% swing towards them, but enough preferences from Country Liberal and independent voters gave Labor the win
