Well... this is embarrassing. I just discovered my UK passport expired in January. And while I have a US passport I can't use it to travel to the UK for the event I'm supposed to be at in 2 weeks. If I were just a US citizen I would get an ETA, but that's not allowed for someone with a UK passport.
It'll take a month to renew my passport.
So yeah I know it's my dumb mistake, but this isn't rocket science.
I see some sources saying I can travel in the UK with US passport and recently expired UK passport but that doesn't tell me whether I can *leave* again with the expired passport.
This whole thing recently changed on February 25th, and the only help on the subject appears to be a chatbot which acts as a search engine.
Maybe I can find a human being at the SF Consulate @UKin_SF

Scott, once you are in the UK you could visit one of the passport offices in person and get a passport same day - needs booking in advance and costs more.
