Furious with @TSB. Just discovered every time I used my card in Finland, they charged me £1 card fee and 3% on top. Even for the Helsinki travel app on my phone, which toted things up daily, TSB charged me for every €2 ticket *individually* over half that again. Shame on you.
If anyone is up for legally challenging how charging over £1 is a fair admin fee - the only fee they can now legally charge fo EU transactions - in the context of a completely automated transaction like a travel app, please drop me a line. Let’s take @TSB to court.
After the shambles your customers have had to endure for months, @TSB, this is the last straw. You are thieves and incompetent thieves at that.

Strip away noise. This is what happened: Commons gave gov’t 18 of 24 months to get deal; then 3 months to present it. Gov’t overreached and stole another month, leaving only 2. Commons refused to reward this bad faith by giving the gov’t a TWENTY-THIRD month for its blackmail.
Bercow didn’t do this and didn’t say this. Parliament did. The Speaker merely facilitated a democratic vote for the House to express its sovereign will. The bad faith is all on the gov’t side. #BercowWasRight
The real disgrace is that we have a PM and an executive (one that failed to even secure a majority at the last election, no less), so autocratic and with such profound contempt for the legislature, it has reduced the Commons to such creative solutions in order to be heard.

The toxic effect of an immigration salary threshold is that it equates “value” to a society to “making money”; it lures us into accepting that anyone making less than £30k is a drain, even though that includes the vast majority of us. It’s a national statement of self-disrespect.
By saying “oh, this doesn’t apply to you; it applies to THEM”, it stratifies an entire society, including the people endorsing such a philosophy, in a way that entrenches the notion a sportsman or a hedge fund manager are of more value to society than a teacher or a nurse.
And is doubly bitter for coming from someone whose migrant bus driver father would be considered valueless and undesirable under the criteria conceived by his own son. Although, I’m sure, even @sajidjavid finds ways to intellectualise why it somehow doesn’t mean that.

THREAD: 1. The whole May vote delay has a whiff of theatre to it which makes this imposed four-weeks before voting the cliffhanger mid-season break. Everything feels meticulously staged. My sense is a backstop time limit is already agreed; this panto is to give May momentum.
2. We saw a dry run of this before. Just like a few well-placed leaks in 2017 that “the EU is demanding £100bn as settlement” when all previous estimates had been around the £40bn that we eventually agreed to. The £100bn rumour was floated purely to give May a perceived victory.
3. Had she come to the House with £39bn to start with, it would have been shouted down. But against a fictional £100bn she can claim to have battled the EU and prevailed (and, indeed, repeatedly has made that claim precisely). And so it may be with her final deal.

I mean, when Black women told you that Twitter's business model relies on keeping people who will tweet for hours on the platform regardless of their behavior what did you think we meant? Twitter needs harassers, kooks and so on to keep the metrics up.
Case in point, some of you remember the guy I have tweeted about in the past who made a patreon to get paid to stalk & harass women & called it performance art. Fun fact, he spent up to 23 hours a day online. On twitter sending & deleting threats. He would camp out in mentions
Twitter knows about him (law enforcement knows, other platforms know, everyone knows) and here's the thing, Patreon shut down his account. It took a while & was a mess, but they stepped in. Twitter? Not so much. Even after he was being prosecuted.

Time for a new thread. The #android #application called @moinsbete is one of the most downloaded applications in France. This app is sending without your consent your personal data to @mopub:
- location
- operator
- mcc
- mnc
- country
- screen size
Yes, all these requests to @mopub are HTTP requests... Welcome to 2018...
This is a very good example of data abuse. Every time you open the @moinsbete #android #app with location on, your location is send without your consent to an US based server owned by @mopub
