Presenting as a fall the UK's £1.74-trillion national debt rising to £1.88tr by March 2020 is today's favourite piece of Fake News from Philip Hammond

We’re seeing more and more empty seats at grounds. Given the vast sums received from TV rights, ticket prices should be falling not rising. The game needs full stadiums otherwise its appeal will slowly decline, even to rights holders. Avarice will only damage the game and clubs. https://t.co/dQtjVdpjBZ

Brr, we still have heavy snow here in Brean! Many local businesses have decided to close for the weekend, so please don't travel and stay safe.

@Peston @theresa_may A sovereign state has the right to change anything. I think most politicians and commentators can understand the point, not least Macron and Merkel.

Stock markets slide for a day. Result: mass panic and wall-to-wall coverage.
Soil is sliding off the land worldwide, threatening the entire basis of human survival. Result: indifference, no coverage.

Delighted to hear the #wolf has not been shot, but recaptured unharmed. No houses blown down, no grandmothers eaten and, contrary to what the police said, almost certainly no danger to the public at all.

Posh Kenneth has come a long way. Well done Daniel. https://t.co/INwdWVxvgd

What we see in the #Carillion collapse is the lethal combination of privatisation and limited liability. The shareholders take the profits - in spades - but pick up neither the debts nor the risk of collapsing services.

A plastic wrapped, overpriced cauliflower 'steak' is madness in the extreme, but surely better someone buys healthy convenient food than the stuff that's easy and bad for you? https://t.co/YjX5AIOBHO

British Medical Journal publish a report linking 120,000 deaths to Tory Austerity. Guess what BBC's top story is? Gordon Brown and his 2001 Tax on Diesel Cars.
