@HiltonHonors do you have any hotels in London tonight? The Spark Hilton in Romford didn't honour my reservation, it's 1am and I'm left onto the street here. Bit poor given my Diamond status

I've called 5 hotels and the reservation line who couldn't help

The best time would have been a year ago but the second best time is now.
When do you *want* the next election? Exclusive @YouGov poll for @TimesRadio shows that in the last month support for an election this year has jumped to 37%. 52% want an election by next spring. 📻More on Times Radio from 10am

A man in the UK wrote the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) to inquire about the Cestui Que Vie Trust (in the US, it's assumed to be a trust acct at the Treasury). MOJ provided a very good response which I will post in three parts: His questions, and the other two parts are their response to his questions--They spell out the scheme in detail, including its origins

A sombre memorial to Britain's war dead... Painted on sewage outfall. Pretty sure this isn't what "We shall fight on the beaches" was supposed to be about... Why are people like this?

This is incredible. As in: I can’t believe it. The Post Office awarded a bonus to senior staff for “enabling the inquiry to finish on time” when they hadn’t. And the CEO has repaid that bonus; the others haven’t.
Holy sh*t. The Post Office applied a senior executive bonus metric about its work on the Post Office Inquiry (without informing the inquiry). Then it used false information to say it had achieved the metric and awarded the executive bonuses, whilst implying...

This is an anon account with 3 followers so writing a 🧵 will surely be a waste of time! I’m a consultant with an interest in health policy but anyone trying to claim they know what’s going on with NHS work force planning is lying. So read on if you want one person’s opinion…

There's nothing that would fill me with greater pride than if Charles and Camilla arrive at Westminster Abbey in a silver Toyota Prius (LN56 KFZ) driven by Hassan (5.0 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Scroll up, then scroll down to read about the Silicon Valley Bank bailout, and the people who tried to meme a financial crisis into existence to make the bailout happen.

No one listened to them. Instead, it was the hyperventilating all-caps "investors" who spent SVB's no-good weekend shouting on Twitter about the fall of civilization who got what they wanted, with a bow on top, and a glass of publicly funded warm milk before bed. 30/
