Goodness! Someone’s told Zack Polanski about the climate crisis!

@JohnRentoul @ShippersUnbound Wouldn’t it be nice if people who oppose the far right focused on beating the far right rather than indulging in arguments with other people who oppose the far right.

@santanderuk : Many of your banking needs can be done online or on mobile. But if they can't we will make it so impossible for you to conduct business with us that we drive you to take it elsewhere.

@baerskin How do I use a moka pot

[David Souter @DavidNSouter]

@Saul_Sadka Possibly the stupidest thing ever said about London on Twitter.

More in “We can’t afford pensioners” news as we get it!

@BBCPolitics @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Of course, BBC. Always good to have a middle distance runner rather than a Liberal Democrat. And of course that GB News presenter who moonlights as an occasional MP.

Anyone who calls Brand “possibly the most influential critic of capitalism in the English language” deserves ridicule.

My latest: A few thoughts on the Russell Brand furore

What can we guess about selfish entitled young men who can’t be bothered to book seats on a train to Oxford but think senior citizens will did book seats can fend for themselves on a full train? Quite a lot.

And now Radio 5 is going to hold a phone-in about whether a convicted rapist is really a persecuted saint.

[David Souter @DavidNSouter]

Royal Mail's support email address isn't working because its mailbox is full and can't accept any more messages. I wonder why.

[David Souter @DavidNSouter]

Does Radio 5 plan to broadcast self-justifying audio from all convicted rapists, or was this morning a one-off?

[David Souter @DavidNSouter]

Radio 5 “journalism” today: That’s all very interesting, expert, but I have a random tweet here from an unverified account that could be anyone (or just a bot) which says you’re talking rot. What do you say to that?

[David Souter @DavidNSouter]

It used to be possible to buy concert tickets before the days of @axs and @ticketmaster. Now they refuse to accept payment for no reason whatever unless you reconfigure your computer. One more instance of digitalisation reducing customer experience and access.

Justin Webb's response to the US elections (on BBC radio) is to suggest that Democrat victories are bad for Democrats because not all Democrats agree about everything. But not talking about potential divisions among Republicans.

[David Souter @DavidNSouter]

If the BBC does not allow Gary Lineker to have political opinions because he’s a sports commentator, why does it allow third rate comedians to slag off the Chancellor on sports programmes?

The new Chair of OfCom has rather oddly suggested I should set up a left wing version of GB News. This suggests he doesn’t quite know what his job is. But I have taken him at his word… https://t.co/SnTkSMaNV0

It’s a teen movie. The audience reaction at the RFH showing in the LFF was very different. Did you see it in a press screening or with an audience?
