I'd expect that most impressions are for negatively disposed accounts rather than for followers these days?

They're remembering how things were when it was Twitter. Our politicians need to realise that nobody sees them now. Their xits are put in hardly anyone's timeline, even their followers.

I'm fairly confident it's in Chiswick - there's a cafe on the corner in place of the music shop. Someone else linked it as well 👍

The biopsy can cause incontinence and a loss of erection. Quite a big consequence for a false positive

I'm inclined to believe the statistics at population level and also believe that individuals have a different outcome. I don't think a known unreliable test should be applied to everyone. The side effects of over-diagnosis are real.

And you also make your UK company potentially liable as an operating business in a second country which can cost them hundreds of thousands. It is very complex and requires a large amount of law between two countries even inside Schengen let alone outside.

What about the other country? How do you find out exactly what the double taxation rules are? Are you paying the required local taxes and how do you know which you can offset against UK tax and which not? It's really complex not to accidentally defraud multiple tax authorities at once.

It's quite difficult to do this legally unless the company has a local office, you're a contractor and responsible yourself, or is prepared to pay through the nose for payroll services. Multinational tax returns are really tricky.

An urgent address, from a lectern decorated with union flags. Angry face.
A pint to the side, unremarked, placed for a good swig downing half of it in the middle of his speech.
Finish the pint with a flourish at the end and slam it down before walking out of shot muttering about fuckers.
