@HSBC_UK been trying to apply for a switch mortgage rates for 5 days. Every time we apply we get this message? Already stopped us getting one lower rate of interest. It feels deliberate.

@theroyalparks could we have 4 weekends a year when all wheeled traffic prevented from entering Richmond Park?

@ColasRailUK thanks your driver of 70811 who gave my 4 year old son a honk of the horn this morning as they went through Keynsham. Made his weekend 👍

Q. How do you know summer has begun southwest London ?
A. The number of needless SUVs on my cycle commute increases, as @Wimbledon use loads of @LandRover_UK to ferry people about.
Surely, there is less polluting way? @JustStop_Oil

Pleased to publish our validation study of an @AusDiagnostics Mpox assay. Represents a small part of work that the @NwlPathology virology team have undertaken to provide at Mpox diagnostic service. doi.org/10.1016/j.jcvp.2023.…
Was wondered if the Last of us wouldn't do the game justice. How wrong I was!
Episode 3 perhaps up there with "Pine Barrens" ?

Happy New Year, #SaintsFC. Things can only get better. Starting with Wednesday, when St Mary’s will host a “groundbreaking light show” “which has never been seen in the Premier League.” Wristbands included.
Apparently there is a game on after that as well

Prediction of future. We will see images of torn down wallpaper from the No.10 flat in a skip in all the papers very soon.
Everyone associates @Wimbledon with green. So why have loads of polluting @jaguarlandrover SUV's clogging the streets as official transport? Why not all electric? Must do better.

Now we know why the country wasted £££ millions on awful LAMP testing, which has now all been scrapped because not fit for purpose.
spring 2020 Veronica Fowler was 1 of young scientists who tried to tell Whitehall how to do rapid tests. Ignored. Summer no10 learned of her work, funded, pushed. Big study vindicates her predictions for LAMP. She's one of the unsung heroes of covid southampton.ac.uk/news/2022/…
Think this would be a really useful tool to compare cases vs. controls re Adenovirus hepatitis.
Using a tool called VirScan to study coronavirus #antibody responses in #SARSCoV2-infected & control individuals, @harvardmed scientists identified signatures of cross-reactivity and severity. They used this antibody data to design a rapid diagnostic tool. fcld.ly/re7mj4f
