I’m going to give you nearly all of politics for the next 2 years in two tweets:
(1) OBR- Real household disposable income per person, a measure of living standards, is set to fall 4.3% in 2022-23 the largest fall since ONS records began in 1956-57.
Absolutely gobsmacked by @Ryanair's treatment of passengers at Limoges due to fly to Leeds Bradford airport today. Cancelled flight after the gate call and offered no alternative means to get home. What a terrible way to treat customers. – at Bonnac-la-Côte, France

Engineering Awareness Week is a fantastic initiative to inspire the next generation engineers. Well done to the organising team. It takes a lot of effort but it's worth it. Good luck to the students with their pitches tomorrow.
🏗️ The ground has been broken & today at #EngineeringAwarenessWeek our students have been busy constructing, understanding & developing their model canopy designs for the theoretical Olympic Park in Leeds. They'll take their designs into the dragon's den tomorrow...! #ArupLeeds

From exploring the roof of Grade I listed Temple Works to driving around a digital model of Leeds, we hope you enjoyed our Immersive Tech event @LeedsDigiFest. If you missed it or you'd like another go, virtually tour the space here @NMBCo bit.ly/2VtIF7t #LeedsDigi19
Had a great afternoon showcasing our driving simulation of the LEEDS City Model at the #arupLDF2019. It was a bit of fun but paved the way for some exciting opportunities on our engineering projects.

This shows how our moveable weirs were operated by the team yesterday and how they helped lower river levels in #Leeds when they were at their peak #floodaware @LeedsCC_News @EnvAgencyYNE @Leeds_Highways
@LeedsFAS weir at Knostrop was used yesterday to protect properties in central Leeds from flooding, here's a graph of the river levels just upstream of the weir over the last 24 hours or so showing the how we lowered the river during the time it was at its peak @LeedsCC_News
I really enjoyed the fascinating day at #TEDxBradford. Congratulations @imran and Kamran for organising and giving me an opportunity to play a part in it.
Brilliant session with @AsmaElbadawi at #TEDxBradford. Beautiful and moving spoken word.
