There is a plan to construct enormous densely packed skyscrapers on the middle of our neighbourhood. We need low rise social housing for families. Please add your signature. Or do whatever you can to help us stop this.

Hi @easyJet , quite a lot of us are due to fly to #marrakesh tomorrow and obviously won’t want to add to the city’s woes by having tourists walking about. Is there any way you would refund our tickets so we could donate the money to the relief effort? Crossing fingers.

Well done again BA. Flight (again) delayed. And business-passengers in Rome told they can’t stay in the lounge because it is closing. Is there a point in business tickets any more? Wish I’d recorded passengers’ commentary. It wasn’t complimentary @britishairways #britishairways
What really went on inside the Wuhan lab weeks before Covid erupted.
One of the most terrifying pieces I’ve read. Primarily because Covid seems to have been caused by scientists in China.

Russia is looking to China to help it gain access to the kind of advanced equipment placed out of reach over the past year as a result of Western sanctions and an exodus of international companies - @energyintel energyintel.com/00000188-47f…
Why #Heathrow does it take so long to offload luggage? If a plane lands at 7.15 from Johannesburg, luggage shouldn’t arrive on carousels at 9. They make it work in all other airports on earth. Why not here?

"Walk an hour.. through coves and up into cedar-scented forests, and you’re on the wild white beaches of Bolonia, with their Roman ruins and beach-shack restaurants, picnicking families and herds of wandering cows" | @LisaGrainger4 @TheTimesLuxury

Landed at #Heathrow an hour ago and still no sign of bags. Hundreds of people milling about in Terminal Four. Apparently this is due to large numbers of staff off sick. Why in one of the biggest airports in the world aren’t there contingency plans?
Mask are the law. But who is monitoring them? I’m currently on the bus and the three passengers beside me have none on. And haven’t taken well to my suggestion they wear one.

Revealed: how China is buying up Britain. Terrifying reading, particularly if you’ve read yesterday’s @timesmagazine story about the incarceration of the Uighurs and their torture by China.

Zimbabwe’s finance minister estimates $100 million of gold is smuggled out of the country a month. While schools and hospitals crumble. And National Parks run out of money. #corruption #zimbabwe
