Brexit has had a significant economic impact. Since the decision to leave the EU, the UK economy has underperformed in comparison to virtually all G7 economies.
The #FutureofBritain depends on developing a new approach to the UK-EU relationship. institute.global/insights/ge…

Once when I was young, around 8 or so, we had a garage sale. My siblings and I were killing time riding our bikes along the sidewalk and this guy stopped in. But he wasn't there to buy anything.
He went up to my mom, introduced himself and said he'd stopped because he saw us...
This is Sam.
She is 1 of 2 dual trained assistance dogs by both @guidedogs & @MedDetectDogs
She is a guide dog and is also trained to give her owner a 5 minute warning of medical episodes, by detecting changes in the scent of her owner’s breath.
Sam is a very good dog.
I must apologise, for some reason the alt text has not worked.
Photo shows Sam, a beautiful black Labrador, sitting on the grass, wearing a red, white and yellow harness, with the @guidedogs, @MedDetectDogs and @AssistDogsUK logos.
Here @guidedogs, we have a volunteer role called End of Life Fosterer, and they provide loving and caring homes for our dogs in the final stages of their lives.
Heroes. Absolute heroes.
Thank you for everything you do.
@BMW_UK 1/ Our X5 sunroof spontaneously exploded and showered my wife and daughter with glass. Now you tell us it’s not a manufacturer defect despite 800 cases in USA and a class action lawsuit. It’s clear nothing hit it and you are shirking your responsibility.
@BMW_UK 2/ And here is a report from a mechanical engineer proving that it’s impossible for anything to hit the sunroof and cause that type of damage. It’s pure luck there weren’t serious injuries and it’s not right for you to try and say you aren’t at fault.

I’ve dreamed about this day since 1990. Welcome to the UK @ChickfilA #reading
@ChargemasterPlc Because of your terrible app and terrible customer service, I am now stuck as my cable won’t release. Calling your emergency line gets me a Vodafone voicemail. Any ideas?
