Hi @simoncalder. Will you help name & shame @butlins? I couldn't take son for a holiday so his mum went with him instead. Can't change name on booking; forced to cancel with no refund, then rebook (so paid twice) "Sorry, there's nothing we can do because our policy says so!"

It's here: crucial moment in the campaign. In many seats, people will be desperate for a guide to tactical voting. Best for Britain have provided it.

Ewen Macintosh - Macca, we called him - was in the same theatre/improv “gang” as me at Edinburgh Uni in the early 90s (I’m a few years older but we overlapped by a year or so). I was delighted he found success soon after and it’s very sad to think I’ll never see him again 😞

Today, first time in Polish TV, after 8 years of right-wing government, the LGBT+ activists appeared in live broadcast. I was seating there and heard journalist shaking voice. He made an apology after years of portraying LGBT-people a threat to Polish nation in the same studio. I was moved.. Apology an important part of reconciliation. This is Poland I want to fight for... Thank you...

Crucial thread.
🧵: The Post Office scandal is a stain on govt - hundreds of workers prosecuted and convicted on the basis of garbage evidence, lives upended, a number of victims now dead without having seen justice or compensation in their lifetimes. [1/]
