@BootsUK_HubT_ No need to look into it! Just wanted to say thanks.

@BootsUK I'm seeing quite a few accounts giving some, um... 'interesting' feedback about the statement on gender terms at the begining of this article. Just wanted to counter that by saing thank you for including it. https://t.co/B7bSGVti2R

Just signed this. At the end of what has been a very long and sad and stressful day for completely other reasons, I don't have the energy to explain why it means so much, but please consider signing too. https://t.co/rKkH1EVkSq

@Intuit not a customer but have had a suspicious looking email from an https://t.co/Xs6ms68Qa3 email address claiming I have a support issue, with mine and 100 or so other recipients email addresses clearly visible. Either you’ve been hacked or you have major GDPR issue.

@dzejkob_jakub Thanks for acknowledging that :-)

@dzejkob_jakub @bindelj Can you point to *anywhere* you’ve seen him pressure others to follow suit? All I’ve seen is unequivocal support for others on the list, whatever their decision. Here he his supporting one author’s decision to stay:

Wouldn’t normally be quoting a Reform MP, *obviously*… but can’t resist pointing out that the Hawk-Eye technology which replaced line judges was, in fact, developed in Britain.

We want our country back

We want Wimbledon line judges back

Neither of us is on here very much these days, but lovely @GJMale wrote a brilliant cryptic crossword this week which deserves to be seen. So here it is! https://t.co/TQUY9hbWaO

[💙Caroline Hardman (not the literary agent) @73caroline]

Finally got around to updating the puzzle design section of my website! Now includes crosswords, some of the newer puzzle hunts, and an easier link for commissions. https://t.co/v9huPMcOax

[💙Caroline Hardman (not the literary agent) @73caroline]

The usual thanks to lovely @gjmale who not only tested/checked this time round, but also provided one of the clues :-) And not-on-Twitter (I think) Henriwords, who spotted I shared the wrong link earlier!

[💙Caroline Hardman (not the literary agent) @73caroline]

New crossword up (finally!) The bright side of having taking a bit longer with this one is that I got to play with some lovely new features on My Crossword, which had an update while I was half way through! https://t.co/sNRzqidiJH

[💙Caroline Hardman (not the literary agent) @73caroline]

@GJMale You are the best xx

[💙Caroline Hardman (not the literary agent) @73caroline]

Another week, another crossword! Thanks, as always, to @GJMale for tweaks, improvements and having the patience of a saint while I worked on this one... https://t.co/PcGY7aB61D

[💙Caroline Hardman (not the literary agent) @73caroline]

And I forgot to say, a big thank you to @gjmale who very kindly proof-read and improved it immeasurably, which I also forgot to say last week.

[💙Caroline Hardman (not the literary agent) @73caroline]

New crossword up! It's always hard to gague difficulty, but this one is possibly a little more challenging than last week's. https://t.co/tRsn9sh5b7

[💙Caroline Hardman (not the literary agent) @73caroline]

@catfacematthew Ooh, good shout! Thank you :-)

The news last week made me sad. Today it has made me FURIOUS. They got what they wanted. It didn't also need an official statement from the PM. (By which I mean, the press didn't need to run hand-wringing articles all weekend pressuring him into making a statement.)
