  • Realisation that with Hancock gone this decision to lift all restrictions is totally on Boris. He’s bet the farm (and us) on this hasn’t he? If he gets it right that’s probably the next election sewn up. If wrong, well, someone else’s problem.
  • Wore a mask in shops and transport months before it became the law (24th July 2020), so going to continue wear one after it is no longer the law. It wasn’t the mandatory bit that made me do it.

  • When full site editing comes to WordPress there are going to be three distinct admin experiences. Classic Gutenberg Full site editing Each quite a leap from the last, both in mindset and approach for both administrators and developers.

  • Well done Libs Dems.
  • Seems weird that so much of tech Twitter seems to be arguing over standards that have been codified for 25+ years. HTML&CSS is pretty mature. It’s fine. It’ll work for 25+ years from now then 25 more and another 25 after that. Party like it’s 2099.

  • You spend 100s and 100s of hours correctly and considerately implementing GDPR, Cookies, user privacy, not just because its law, but the right approach to protect users data and to inform them of how data will be used.

  • Glad to see this issue getting attention. I’ve been building more block based themes in Wordpress and it’s pretty good until you hit margins & padding between and in blocks. Currently the solution is spacer blocks (e.g. spicy spacer.gifs) - ht @fklux https://t.co/JucpNj9KoG

  • This is a fascinating and stark look into a government hell bent on using culture wars to separate us. It’s the almost casual nature of it that’s more disturbing, not even ideological, just cynical to create distraction, votes or newspaper sales. https://t.co/Vl8X0dAFk6

  • Feels like Boris Johnson is going into Dr. Who regeneration mode with this G7 meeting. I wonder what we’ll get this time.
  • I hope security around G7 has taken account of the St Ives seagulls. They will snatch a pasty out of your hand quicker that you can say diplomatic accord.
  • Just as stupid as it’s an absolutely glorious train ride Paddington >> St. Ives. It’s got everything sea views, lakes, villages, cities, and countryside so gorgeous it would make a Morris Dancer blush. https://t.co/SG18K7hKUl

  • £14.7 billion sounds like the exact amount the government recently refused to spend on children’s post-pandemic education. I pay around this rate already, and it’s due to increase to more than 21% in 2023. So why shouldn’t other companies pay the same? https://t.co/fQVmOQGPZs
  • RT @garius: I like that Twitter Blue is just all the bugs they should have patched out years ago, but for a small monthly fee.

  • Looking into this NHS data share issue, the opt-out is a docx file that requires: 1. Downloading 2. Printing 3. Delivering your GP That is suspiciously inaccessible. Not against data sharing but lack of transparency and guarantees on ‘partner’ access is v. concerning.
