Appalling customer service attitude from @Tesco after a loaf of bread included in an order for my parents arrived partly eaten by rodents. Aside from the public health breach, they just don’t seem bothered by it. #PublicHealth @publichealthni

Thrilled that our new album of works by Vivanco has now been released - available on all major streaming platforms. https://t.co/SlphYeJ8L6

@jamie_hawkey @ohasm1 There’s no other option but to visit and take a decent photo. Tough work, but someone has to do it.

@LathamRicky it would appear so. Confuses me too....

@JustinWelby And is it still your advice (as you spoke on BBC yesterday morning) to “stay away from the choir”? Asking for (many) friends. @RSCMCentre @HelpMusiciansUK @churchofengland @JohnRHall1949

[David Martin @DavidJohnMartin]

Advice from @JustinWelby on @AndrewMarr9 this morning: “if you go to church at Christmas, keep away from the choir”. Thanks for that Justin, you utter waste of space. Nice to know how much we mean to you. Gobshite. #churchofengland #anglicancommunion

The arts, our musical and visual culture, are fundamental to our wellbeing and public health. Our artists are also our ambassadors. They should have a significant place in phase one of the UK’s COVID-19 reconstruction. @OliverDowden @DamianCollins

No @VodafoneUK broadband at home now for over 48 hours - also no response from their team. Pathetic.

[David Martin @DavidJohnMartin]

@British_Airways Yes. The lounge staff - they were horrendously embarrassed that they were having to apologise for the pathetically understocked lounge.

[David Martin @DavidJohnMartin]

@British_Airways No ice, no sparking water... anything else you haven’t bothered to supply in your BHD lounge this evening?

@AerLingus How utterly ridiculous. Just because it’s applied to all bookings and has been in place for some time doesn’t make it right.

[David Martin @DavidJohnMartin]

Could someone at @AerLingus please explain why I've been charged £18 admin fee when I booked it all myself online...?

[David Martin @DavidJohnMartin]

@ngubbins18 Well done Bradley!

As Marine One flew overhead just now I was suddenly inspired by Churchill, born in the very place where the US President dined last night, and I was pleased to offer my own similar salute in a gesture of welcome to our American visitor. #stoptrump #trumpvisituk

Why does @Fullers Sanctuary House in Westminster insist on putting the bins out (and moving customers to do it) well over an hour before closing time? It’s disgusting to stand next to giant bins whilst having a drink.

When is @SadiqKhan going to sort out the public transport in #London? Unacceptably low levels of service. @TfL
