The substitutes at @sainsburys are always a source of joy. Ordered mixed nuts for snacking, got shredded nuts for baking. 😂

Remarkable how many clever people suddenly realise that actually, they never understood the jokes they told, the same jokes that everyone laughed at and which paid their salaries.

Cressida Dick working for Palantir raises the same concerns I’ve expressed about Tom Watson.
What does a company gain when it recruits a former Labour deputy leader or a former Metropolitan Police commissioner? Their experience, yes. But also their contacts, influence and the authority associated with the offices they held.
This ‘revolving door’ corrodes confidence in politics, public service generally and in institutions such as the police.

This is an absolute disgrace. Children’s development is very much linked to the provision of a decent wheelchair. And people won’t get to work without one. Wheelchair provision isn’t a charity project. It’s a core task of the health system. theguardian.com/society/2026…

FGS bonfire night and Diwali are over. There’s no excuse for *extremely* loud domestic fireworks to be going off into the early hours. Rhubarb is a nervous wreck and completely exhausted - as are so many thousands of animals @andyburnham will you act? It’s cruel and unnecessary. @DogsTrust @RSPCA_official

I’m triggering a high air pollution alert for London on Tuesday 10 November.
I urge everyone in the capital, especially those most vulnerable, to stay safe and follow health advice to minimise their exposure.
Please switch off engines when idling and avoid burning garden waste, which contributes to pollution.

37 years ago, the Berlin Wall came down.
The wall that divided not just Berlin, but the country and the whole continent of Europe in two, stood for 28 years.
It was brought down by a peaceful revolution on 9 November 1989.
Whenever I travel from New Eltham (not exactly a major station), there’s more or less always someone else who needs the ramp. Today the second person left and a third wheelchair user boarded. There are so many people using ramps. Level boarding is so needed.

I used level boarding to get to my home town. They didn’t even have a lift when I lived there. Things are changing. Sometimes.

Back from my 30 years A-Levels school reunion. It was absolutely amazing. 45 people came and I wasn’t even the one with the longest journey. A classmate even came from California.

Bitte informieren Sie uns, wenn Sie Ihre Reise verschieben oder nicht antreten können.
Dann können die Hilfeleistungen, die Sie nicht mehr benötigen, anderen Reisenden zugutekommen.“
The attitude of Deutsche Bahn never stops to amaze me. Customers are not responsible for their poor staff capacity planning. (English: please inform us if you are cancelling or changing your travel plans. Then the assistance you don’t need anymore can benefit other customers.)

My Apple Watch says I did 7000 pushes today. Airports are great for pushing long distances.

I called the number and they helped me indeed. I think I spoke to their control room. They’ve told me how to travel to reach another platform where the lift is working.
