I don't understand why supermarkets sell these living pots of coriander. Each pot is one portion. Can I grow more from these roots?

It's a bit of a beast, so if you are interested in a particular local authority, it can be hard to find - so here's a key. Not ideal, but it's the best I can think of..! 2/2

Made a faceted line chart of rolling 7 day #covid19 case rate avgs over time by local auth. Wanted to show which areas were worsening & which were improving, so top left is the area with the biggest % increase over most recent 2 wks of data, bottom right is biggest decrease 1/2

Such a shame that fans aren't allowed in football stadiums at the minute - imagine the reception that @MarcusRashford@twitter.com would be getting, both at Old Trafford, and everywhere else. And the chants would be as brutal about the #322 as they would be supportive of him.

In England only, obvs.

Reminder of the results of the 2019 general election

Tories torying hard today.

Hey hey! I'm on @swirrl@twitter.com's first ever podcast - quizzed by radio presenter-voiced Sarah about my work to help people understand data, both on my own and with @opendatamcr@twitter.com. Listen!

I've now added parliamentary constituencies and political party to the big #covid19 map of England. Have a look here: http://propolis.io/covid-map.

I've added a line chart to the popup showing the change in #covid-19 case rate by local authority, compared to the England average. http://propolis.io/covid-map

Thanks to @olihawkins@twitter.com and team, I've been able to add Local Authority restrictions to my #covid-19 map (with nightly auto-updates). Interesting to see the rate underneath the restrictions.

I'm sure it's the same as for many people, but lockdown would become immeasurably more pleasant for me if the rule of 6 were to exempt children (and mancs could go in other people's houses / gardens).

Am furious that I let my @manutd@twitter.com membership automatically renew a couple of months ago. £30 straight into glazers' pockets for zero benefit, other than I get to feel like I'm contributing to this absolute car crash.

On top of the shambolic transfer dealings at @ManUtd@twitter.com, I cannot believe how hard it is to buy united-themed posters, lampshades etc. Just been to the megastore at old Traff. No posters, but could buy utd-branded hair straighteners. Gonna have to get to the market for a knock-off.

Looks like the recent increase in positive #covid19 tests in university of Manchester are in the public data now. Three of the top twenty MSOAs in England are around Manc university/halls. http://propolis.io/covid-map

So much pressure. @MerseyValleyFC@twitter.com #grassroots

Though I don't know why these cases aren't showing? https://twitter.com/MENnewsdesk/status/1309556054993309698

Hooray! The `last 7 days` field is back in the MSOA (small area) number of #COVID19 cases. Here's my updated interactive map, complete with top 20 table - Levenshulme in Manchester at the top :-( http://propolis.io/covid-map

Now using the latest full week data (currently week 38), as the `latest_7_day` field has been unceremoniously dropped from the http://GOV.UK coronavirus dashboard MSOA CSV downloader. 😡😡😡
