One of the biggest winners of the night might well be proportional representation

@Left2DP @praneetsamaiya @icelandcricket Maybe don’t comment if you don’t understand

@praneetsamaiya @icelandcricket Well done on missing the joke

In which Newsnight Alan Partridge casually asks a British MP with Palestinian heritage whether her ‘family connections’ gave her advance warning of Hamas’s massacre. Call this what it is: racism. He should unreservedly apologise or be taken off air.

@jamesoflynn @duncanc23166541 @anon_opin There is a long time for you to take into account someone merging onto the motorway - plenty of time for you to look in mirrors and blind spot, indicate and move safely over. If it is so busy that you can’t then speeding up to undertake is not correct therefore slowing is best

@darrengrimes No

@Conservatives Unless it is vandalism of ULEZ cameras

@FeasbyClar1203 @LizMcInnes60 This sounds more like a war on rail users

@SharonPeetz @Marttwit So if they play against Ireland what happens then?

@ColourBlindVis @colourblindorg That’s a really good idea- thanks. What’s even more annoying is that the guidance in the isofix has a tick and a cross as well as the change in colours but on the seat indicators only the colour change. However when I download these apps I won’t need to worry about it in future!

@magicofthemind @ColourBlindVis @skytv @amazon This is the first time I heard these change colour!

Fanstatic interview on BBC from @MayorofLondon on the expansion of the ULEZ scheme. Every point thrown at him was dealt with and a lot of the myths debunked. Very necessary to improve air quality and this is an important intervention

This is the key chart for comparing transport in US vs Europe: US cities have chosen car travel. They do it pretty well (with obvious negative externalities) Euro cities (+ London) have chosen public transport, and do it pretty well UK-ex London does neither well, and suffers.

@secondtierpod @Kieran_m_James that’s one way of increasing the reach of Burnley

@DannyLBassett @refsupportuk Ah so what you are telling me is that he could have stopped and had no need to push the ref so probably deserved to be sent off and that the reactions were pure histrionics. Thanks for the clarification

@scserendipity1 @SahilMahajan27 @cricketkit @theDataBaller Looks like it is just the figure on the left but as a percentage of the whole
