UK government meltdown, DVLA warns drivers, when's the best time to post on Facebook?

Social media has been a place of humour and biting sarcasm over the last 48 hours with all the UK political shenanigans.

 

I’m not even going to attempt to keep up to date with what’s going on but there is some great humour on Twitter in particular as well as some really high quality explainer videos and threads helping us keep track of what’s going on - remember all the high profile journalists have their own Twitter accounts where you can get coverage in more detail.

 

If you are after something a bit lighter, then the Downing Street cat has its own, unofficial, parody Twitter account - find it @number10cat.

 

The DVLA is warning drivers to bet aware of websites promoting paid for services which you can easily do yourself, for free on the DVLA website.

 

Tasks such as renewing driving licences for people over 70 and help with V5C registration certificates can all be done yourself, for free at the official DVLA.gov.uk site

 

Several websites have emerged - where they quite legitimately offer to do it for you - but take a fee - the DVLA wants drivers to know they don’t have to go down that paid route.

 

And some new research just out from the team at Sprout Social looking at the best times to post content on social media.

 

They suggest you’ll get the best result on Facebook posting early in the morning, and content shared on Tuesdays between 10am and 12noon also performs well.

 

There are insights for Twitter to - the research is based on US time zones and values according to industry sectors but you can get the full report on the Sprout Social website.
