All trains stopped in and out of Paddington. Apparently someone has climbed onto the overhead cables in the station. Currently trying to get to the airport for a flight. @BBCLondonNews @GWRHelp @HeathrowExpress

For anyone following along, ended up in an Uber from Hays & Harlington and just got to check in as they were closing up. Made it! Thanks for all the positive vibes.

Just be careful as if the credit card company do a charge back on the live booking, Premier Inn will cancel the room. I have no way of telling which booking is live and which one is extra.
Asked them to confirm if I’ll be getting an email/or refund as I’d rather know now so I can get the ball rolling with my credit card company.

Congratulations to @premierinn who have just charged me 7 time over for 2 room bookings. Lots of other complaints on X - you have a problem here & call centre overwhelmed. Have the decency to put a holding statement prominently on your webiste. @SimonCalder @paullewismoney

Today has been a less than stellar day for markets amidst growing uncertainty over the geopolitical outlook, but fascinating to see AIM’s two biggest risers being stocks - admittedly bouncing off lows - as they head towards the JP Jenkins venue.

In accordance with ancient tradition (and the Port of London Thames Byelaws) a bundle of straw is dangled from Millennium Bridge to warn shipping of work under the bridge (we’re not making this up, honest). Robert, from our rope access contractor CAN Ltd, does the honours.

You appear to have one train North mid morning and one going South mid afternoon - which is of little use to anyone. On the page I linked KS doesn’t even get a mention.

It’s the replacement flight, taxi and uk261 comp they owe me. The law should not allow me to become an unsecured creditor of an airline for 3 months.

Great debate going on here in @EveningStandard as to why ESG investing isn't to be discredited - but work needs to be done on sustainability ratings. @crowd_x @234mike #ESG #BuildBackBetter standard.co.uk/business/sir-…

Although sadly the rates relief is only temporary, through to April ‘23. Hopefully a more lasting solution can be found quickly.
A note of caution on draft beer relief for pubs, welcome as it it is -- veteran Budget-watcher @MonkComms points out, rising fuel costs squeezing margins more than the cut will help, business rates reduction probably more of a help than 3p in duty off a pint
