Hello @annaturley, I’m no fan of Reform, but until last week when it was pointed out to the government security team, your party leader’s COS was sending an auto response with her personal number in through her official email address

[Labour Press @labourpress]

Reports of hostile state activity are incredibly serious.

Nigel Farage and Reform have failed to confirm whether they've reported the suspicions they raised that Farage's phone was hacked by Russia to either the @NCSC or @metpoliceuk.

National security must always come first - today @annaturley has reported this for thorough independent investigation by the proper authorities.

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

@Keir_Starmer You loosened sanctions on russian oil and your government funds performances by someone with ties to Putin, Prime Minister

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

If every European official spoke this like and didn't try soften things to make people comfortable, this war would have been over by the summer of 2014.

[Kati Laus @LausKati]

Do not look away.
Russia did this.
Russian people, yes - every single one of them, share accountability for this atrocity.

Hello @HMRCcustomers,

How exactly am I supposed to sign a form you've pasted into an email body when you specifically rule out electronic signatures?

Are you really asking me to print the email, sign it by hand, then scan it and send that? Doesn't seem very "making tax digital"

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

@t2tecnerd ...because more and more people start choosing not to visit Edinburgh in August.

So anyone who actually understands business will realise that maximising short-term profit in this sort of market does little more than lead to long-term decline.

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

I know Edinburgh is always overpriced in August, but £424 for a night in a Travelodge is not right

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

@t2tecnerd If that gets pushed too far, there will eventually be a permanent shift. At which point Edinburgh in summer starts to have a serious problem, because a huge number of jobs and businesses depend on that period.

Everyone has a choice. That is why high prices are not good...

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

@TeakleAlex Or it’s been like this since long before the pandemic and not everything is some big conspiracy theory

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

@TheOfficialTom The airport is only £231 a night. Something really needs to be done about Fringe pricing.

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

It's known that a phone number is all some hackers need.

And for years there have been issues about official business being conducted through channels which fall outside monitoring, security and things like FOI.

This should not be happening. Especially from someone so senior.

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

Does anyone remember Starmer saying saying it was "a serious situation that carries a security risk" when it was found Johnson's number was public a few years ago?...

And the more recent issues surrounding what may be on McSweeney's phone?...

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

Well, until Friday evening, Starmer's current chief of staff was sending her personal phone number to literally anyone who emailed her official email address.

It's been fixed, but within 10 minutes of pointing it out, I got an email from No10 asking me to please call them.

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

The UK government last week loosened restrictions on russian oil.

Next month, for the third time, a russian singer who is sanctioned by Ukraine, has documented ties to Putin, and funded illegal separatist causes herself, will perform in London, funded by public money.

[Stephen Doughty HC MP @SDoughtyMP]

There will be no safe havens for those enabling Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.

Our sanctions are cracking down on crypto & illicit finance networks exploited by Russia.

We will continue to act decisively to expose & disrupt Putin's war machine.

@GWRHelp Hello, @mrcarl_woodward is currently delayed on one of your trains – is there any chance you could double the length of the delay, turn the heating up to maximum, and then kick him off at Swindon just for fun?

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

Why does the government insist on sending out Darren Jones again and again when all he ever does is manage to look like a bigger and bigger tool?

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

@LausKati But other than that, how was your camping holiday?
