Excellent.
We knew it was coming, but now seemingly confirmed: Britain will return to alignment with EU food standards and climate change rules and accept ECJ jurisdiction.
Shame on you Keir Starmer and Nick Thomas-Symonds for selling out this country's self-government to a foreign court.

@IHGOneRewards Hi. I have 2 "travel profiles" in my One Rewards account. Why will no-one in your customer service team tell me how to modify the credit card details in _both_ travel profiles? Please don't ask for my account info as this is a generic question applicable to anyone.

@RoyalMailHelp Itโs 2024. If you have to temporarily change the opening hours of a delivery office, why donโt you at least go to the effort of updating your website with this information to save people wasted journeys?

@BankofScotland 1) Why are your โYouโre using your arranged overdraftโ SMSs sometimes a day late? 2) Why do you not send e-mail notifications of home insurance-related messages which go into my Internet Banking inbox?

Havenโt decided on my preference for leader yet, but was very encouraged to hear @KemiBadenoch declare herself a โdevolution sceptic.โ She said โWe canโt just accept devolutionโ and that โwe need to talk about rolling it back.โ ๐๐ป #Renewal2030

It's shocking how little people in the UK are talking about district heating - or even know what district heating is or why it might be a good idea.

Great that the Friday interviews are back!
NEW: Weekend @TheNewsAgents
Our Friday interviews are back. And this is a treat. Soon to be Baroness @HarrietHarman on a remarkable political life. Her decades in the womenโs movement, the Labour Party and the rise of a new misogyny.

@MarcoGBiagi Regarding your last tweet (which somehow @IndyMichael_G has stopped me commenting on), understood.
But what if there is a trade-off between getting back voters for whom social and climate progressivism is a top priority and all the people who went to Labour?

The entrenched nature of FPTP in the English psyche is one of the biggest and best arguments for breaking up the UK.

Far and away the most important policy in the @LibDems manifesto:
"Remove the ability for the UK Parliament to unilaterally change the powers ofthe devolved parliaments or pass laws in their areas of responsibility."
