@TheNewsAgents I love the News Agents, but I'm SO bored of this story. Six episodes out of the last eight on this and the basic facts have barely changed. It feels like the same episode over and over. Please, there are other important and interesting things to discuss.

Why is Chris Mason's worthless opinion the number one story on BBC news instead of some actual news?

@BBCSport Ugh, what's going on? Can you at least let us know if there'll be no live stream

[mary shepperson @MShepperson]

@Lowlandslady The BBC used to be really good at getting period detail right. I blame Bridgerton for making them think they can just go to the dressing up box and pull out any old rubbish from 100 years either side of when it's set and no one will care.

Just finished the first half of The Other Bennet Sister. Constantly distracted by appalling costuming. Fabrics, colours, prints and cuts that don't belong in the regency. Mr Bingley dressed as a Victorian farmer. Military uniforms completely wrong 😬

@msloobylou The whole show has appalling costuming. No attention to period. The BBC used to be good at period dramas 😕

What's the normal lifecycle for a poinsettia? Mine is five years old and is now basically a tree (originally £3 xmas bog standard from Asda). Is this atypical?

Applications open for Leader of the Free World. The position is now vacant.

Translation: I’m losing the election, again.

[mary shepperson @MShepperson]

Just gonna say this as an observer from a distance, but Trump is clearly a horrible deranged old man (among other things). It's hard to believe anyone could consider voting for him as leader of anything. I wouldn't put him in charge of watering my houseplants.

[The Saurus @TheSaurus831]

Really is a tough call.

On one hand - every Nobel prize winning economist is adamantly stating that Harris has a significantly better economic plan

But on the other hand - the dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with say Trump is a good businessman

Quite the dilemma

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

Anyone in America who tells you Trump will be better for our economy needs this retweeted for them immediately.

[mary shepperson @MShepperson]

@HannahPethen I suppose he must assume the voters are too.

[mary shepperson @MShepperson]

American friends, can anyone explain the Trump tariffs to me? He says he wants to bring prices down, but also wants these very inflationary tariffs. Am I missing something?

@NealShepperson @notcapnamerica Good question. Have you ever seen them together in the same room?
