Curtice and Calder: the media's automatic go-to on elections and travel.

The two should get together for a podcast interviewing TV default gobshites: McTernan, Blunkett, Tominey, Campbell, Varoufakis, Hazarika, Moran and any Johnson you can name!

Call it 'Poll to Pole'.

Delays are caused by passport checks introduced as part of the Brexit deal - you think it's bad now, you aint seen nothing yet 👇👇
Later this year, in November, as part of that same deal, every single child will have their fingerprints and biometrics recorded, as well.

#Kenya arrivals now with new digital E-Visa is super efficient, speedy - unbelievabl, cheaper-than the in triplicate paper visa on arrival. And a warm greeting from immigration official! “You are SO welcome!” That’s how it’s done folks! #SimonCalder #TravelAfrica

#SimonCalder the noise blight from #HeathrowAirport does not affect only Berkshire. Noise from current runways blight 20+mile radius. #Londoners

🚨 From 12 Oct, Eurostar passengers (London–Paris/Brussels/Amsterdam) must show:
• Accommodation

Applies to UK/US travellers even if just passing thru France.

The UK travel #greenlist is perfect for a memorable #Atlantic #volcano vacation. Island-hop through the active #SouthSandwichIslands, then visit #TristandaCunha & #AscensionIsland before finishing up in #Iceland to see the #Geldingadalir #eruption. Boat recommended. @SimonCalder

Still confused by @EurostarUK departure from Amsterdam to London St P last night. No passport checks (neither UK nor NL), no security scanning. No info about why this was until we got on train. Then changed in Brussels to do passport(s) and security. @SimonCalder 1/2
