@LNER Tried that m8. Nothing about my train

[James Harrison @JHarrisonLDR]

@LNER what is happening with the 20.03 service from Kings Cross? The announcements on the train say one thing and the app says something totally different

[James Harrison @JHarrisonLDR]

@LNER We got an announcers saying we’d be leaving at 9pm and something mumbled about the calling point between here and Edinburgh. Nothing updated on the app. It would be kinda helpful to know what’s happening

@jdpoc @gerrysweeney The same factory that had its planning permission granted in, er, 2021?

@O2 Yes. It said lines were closed and to call back in the morning.
And yes, that was after I’d confirm the phone was “lost or stolen”

[James Harrison @JHarrisonLDR]

Outstanding from @O2 - promising 24/7/365 service if your phone gets pinched, then telling you to call back in the morning when it actually does.
Sorry it happened at such an inconvenient time for you

[James Harrison @JHarrisonLDR]

@O2 I’m sorry you don’t live up to your promise of 24/7/365 help. Do you fancy addressing that first?

I had a lovely chat with the nice people at the @metoffice about how difficult it is to forecast snow ⛄️
TLDR: Bring a big coat just in case

Wonder where Matt learned such stellar analytical skills?
Perhaps his memorable tenure at Northern Rock?

[Matt Ridley @mattwridley]

BBC, 19 August: "The violence was started by false online rumours that the suspect in the Southport attack was a Muslim."

BBC, 29 October: "[He] has been charged with producing the poison ricin and possessing a military study of an al-Qaeda training manual."

Verify that.

Latest here on the Nick Kemp bullying complaint.

One cabinet resignation today and rumours flying around that there could be more to come.

Fallout from my story on the bullying complaint made against Newcastle City Council leader Nick Kemp by a senior council director...

A Labour cabinet member, Alex Hay, has resigned today.

Lib Dems are calling for an independent inquiry.

Story to come @ChronicleLive later.

The combination of excellent local connectivity (metro), long history, beautiful architecture, diverse industrial past, excellent higher education, dense urbanism, suburbia, countryside, and coast that makes Newcastle such an economic powerhouse. [Ed: check stats on this].

[Haydn Belfield @HaydnBelfield]

Oh what's that, politics guy who lives in London . . . you said Walz gave a great speech but RFK might tank the Wisconsin numbers?

Huh interesting - quick question: who's the current Taoiseach?

[James Harrison @JHarrisonLDR]

Did… did Biden time this with the end of @TheOpen because he knew Donald Trump would be glued to it?

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

The biggest golf tournament in the country. An Irishman leading, two Englishmen joint second, loads of big names embarrassed - and the @BBCSport liveblog is just empty…
