It’d be nice to watch the last 22km, but iPlayer coverage seems to disappear at that point only to reappear after the finish. Anyone know where it goes, after Day 8 Extra Daytime?

@travisci failing builds seem to have started running their “deploy” steps, contrary to all expectation.

This is still happening. No mention of this new “feature” in your Product Enhancements, or the documentation.

‘All of the units would be for private sale because, according to the plans, a financial viability assessment shows the scheme “is unable to support provision of any affordable housing”.’ (so, a fundraiser rather than any real desire to house more people?)

📰 Today, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published new draft guidance which could see 105,000 people in England benefit from hybrid closed-loop 'artificial pancreas' technology on the NHS. (1/5) #Type1Diabetes #gbdoc independent.co.uk/news/uk/en…

Officials said they hope complications linked to hypoglycaemia caused by type 1 diabetes could become a ‘thing of the past’ thanks to the technology.

Private renting has increased 14% since the last census. An ever expanding, ever more expensive rental sector - where houses are seen as sources of profit instead of homes - is not the answer to our housing emergency. We need more social housing @Shelter bbc.com/news/business-642098…
Rents rising at fastest rate for seven years

Renters are being hit harder than owners by rising housing costs, official data shows.

As you didn't @Bren4Bassetlaw, we did a little calculation using @CRSP_LboroUni @jrf_uk Minimum Income calculator for you - and this is how much a single parent with two children under 5 would need to earn to achieve a basic decent standard of living (1/x)
For a decent standard of living, you need to earn: £62,277 giving a net income of £974.14 per week So that your income, after tax and benefits adjustments, is enough to cover what the public think is needed for a minimum decent standard of living.

Wrote this for @theipaper. Swear to god, the patronising assumption that poor folk haven't spent their whole life learning how to live cheaply & somehow need *educating* on this will be my personal death...you can't cut back where there's nothing to cut. inews.co.uk/opinion/feeding-…

You can now see Thames Water's sewer overflows in real-time. Check if sewage is being discharged to a river in your park. It's a good step, much better than yearly lists of data. It increases accountability & shows the true performance of infrastructure. thameswater.co.uk/edm-map

Your regular reminder that soft measures (such as ANPR or temp' barriers) mean nothing to most unthinking of the #drivists.

Surprised at it being as many as 25 (not counting flight changes). There’s quite a bias in the list, of course.
