.@FirstBSA once again your busses are proving unreliable to my commute. I arrived at rudmore park for X39 to Bristol at 10.05. Next bus has continually been 5-7 mins away and it is now 10.30am. Do you not operate a contingency?

There was no 8.14 today or yesterday at rudmore park x39 rush hour bus Bath-> Bristol. How unlucky to have the sane “operational reasons 2 days in a row” @FirstBSA @WestofEnglandCA
Thanks @FirstBSA the X39 from Bath to Bristol has had two cancelled busses now then a “sorry not in service” that the app thought was the actual bus. Premium computer service? Not @WestofEnglandCA is it time to retender this route or take it over?

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump completely fails to understand the question he’s asked and rambles on incoherently. It’s clear Donald Trump has lost his mental capacity. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this and know Trump is senile.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (sometimes Tommy Robinson) deleted this Tweet, as he accidentally included his (now) ex-lawyer telling him that he will no longer represent him. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

They partied , they bet on elections , they crashed the economy, they broke every public service, they destroyed integrity and honesty in public office , they paid their mates billions , they put their friends in the House of Lords, they gave their cronies knighthoods, they went into the jungle , they lied again and again, they were convicted by police, they went on holiday when they shouldn’t and they have the cheek to question Keir Starmer’s work ethic. I would never take anything for granted but I hope they are annihilated on Thursday. The worst people and government we have ever had! P.S good afternoon all 😊❤️

A great thread from my favourite maths populiser ( sorry @FryRsquared @stevenstrogatz @standupmaths - honourable mentions etc. etc. tough competition, blah blah)
It's leap day - February 29th. It's a special day - the rarest in our calendar. But do you know why we have leap days at all and how often exactly they come around? Read on to find out... 1/21

Despicable behaviour from our the looney Labour leader. Why didn’t he catch the Unibomber? Or Genghis Khan? More generally how dare he have a career before politics that wasn’t about making a pile of money through dodgy offshore investments! #sarcasm @TheSun
Why was Starmer sitting on his hands during the siege of the Nakatomi Tower?

Carol Vorderman: He's a coward. Bully. Misogynist. Why I’m taking on Shaun Bailey @EveningStandard It's almost as if I predicted the right wing nonsense from Julia Hartley-Brewer & her fellow cauldron stirrer Sarah Vine!! See "Witches of Fleet Street" ⏬ ME: "They aren’t “serious politicians” at all.  Most of this current Tory crowd are charlatans who have been to some dire Conservative Stage School to learn their divisive communal grunts, as well as walking directions from Portcullis House to Tufton Street without the aid of Google Maps. All supported by various elements of Right-wing media and the Witches of Fleet Street — you know exactly who I mean by that, and don’t pretend you don’t. You’re allowed to list them while smirking. It could be a brilliant new game." Pls do list them.... Pls read and RT. Thank you standard.co.uk/comment/carol…
