Despite this heat, B and Q are refusing to sell their fans! This is their Newton Abbot store at 3pm. Outside it's 33C. I asked for a display model as the boxed ones had all all gone "You can't have one" the Assistant said "We're not allowed to sell display models". W.T.F...

@TVMusings26 Well done #tinaob83 for standing your ground, this can't have been a pleasant experience for you. This blokes behaviour is disgraceful and looks like harassment.
You might have reminded him about what happened to Theo!! 🤣

@reformparty_uk Freeview should go. I live in the South West. Due to the terrain, people used to rely on a local relay station to watch their TV. Since 2009, these masts have only carried a small number of digital channels forcing many over to free sat via a dish or "freely" via the internet

@ZiaYusufUK I live near Ann Widecombe's Dartmoor home and often spotted her in our local town. I never shared Ann's politics. Ann was on the panel when BBC Question Time came to Torquay. I respect her for being the ONLY panel member who mingled, and shook hands with the audience afterwards.

@BBCNewsnight @nicholaswatt I thought I'd tuned in to the re-run of a late night comedy show first aired on BBC 2 back in the eighties! Future episodes showed Count Bin face entering Parliament and staying there longer than Therese Coffey's bestie mate Liz Truss and the lettuce. UK Politics is such a joke

@KemiBadenoch I challenge you to deny this Kemi:-
If Andy Burnham calls a GE and Reform don't win a majority, I bet you'd form a coalition to prop up Farage. You know it's the only way your party could ever get close to power again.
Current Tory policies aren't that much different to Reform.

@LBC @NickFerrariLBC In theory, schools should always cope whatever the weather is like outside. They used to! Shame on Britain and the Government if our classrooms are really that inadequate, overcrowded, run down and under funded that kids might come to harm in them on hot days!

[Nick Burleigh @NickBurleigh4]

@LBC @NickFerrariLBC What a ridiculous situation when so much of the Country is under an amber or red heat alert

[Nick Burleigh @NickBurleigh4]

@Channel4News It would be nice just to have a fan...

@michael_fifield @bbclaurak @BBCOne @peterkyle @Keir_Starmer @AndyBurnhamGM Labour Ministers, Peter Kyle included, talk about things getting better. The trouble is, people on the ground don't feel that they are. It doesn't feel like Starmer or his cronies are putting the Country first. Be honest, Andy Burnham is the very last chance for Labour.

@itvcorrie Coronation Street at its absolute best! Debbie's story is lifting the lid on dementia by highlighing the devasting impact for both those forced to experience it and their friends and family. It teaches how dementia isn't just for the frail elderly but younger, vibrant people too

[Nick Burleigh @NickBurleigh4]

@MarkStanding3 @itvcorrie As a student I observed MHA assessments. I agree accuracy is key when tackling difficult topics. I actually thought the drama did well but it was in the context of portraying snap shots of the whole traumatic process for Sam and his family. I did think a diagnosis was premature!

@Drytheee @BasilTheGreat The right to free speech shouldn't include an exemption for being accountable for what we say or knowing words have consequences and affect other people. That's why I don't have a problem with digital id. to trace owners of fake profiles who get their kicks from spreading hate.

[Nick Burleigh @NickBurleigh4]

@integraps @Kevin_Maguire Kevin Sinfield should have been knighted much sooner. Why worry about "appropriate" time scales when it comes to upgrading the honour of a truly deserving person? No one worried about sticking to the rules when Boris Johnson handed out gongs to his less than honourable mates!

[Nick Burleigh @NickBurleigh4]

@LisaRedpath3 @itvcorrie I wondered if something contractual was going on here. If the latest soap episodes moved to ITV 3 and kept regular time slots that would be great. I really don't see why ITV 1 is seen as the flagship channel when all ITV channels are available as a Public service across the UK.

[Nick Burleigh @NickBurleigh4]

@itvcorrie I always say, Corrie is at its absolute best when it tackles the difficult and challenging subjects of real life. I'd like to propose a storyline where Ronnie tests positive for prostate cancer and we see his journey to raise awareness of a disease affecting 1 in 4 men of colour

[Nick Burleigh @NickBurleigh4]

@TonyB_1997 @RobKenyonReform Fiona Bruce might have pointed out that Cllr Kenyon's meaning of "more people, more housing" is to blame Migrants for everything and the Greens see our housing crisis as complex and not the fault of one group of people.
Maybe that would have broken the BBC's right wing bias...?

@gilarutrina @ZackPolanski Unfortunately, it's one sided and narrow minded opinions like this that is actively fuelling antisemitism in Britain today.

[Nick Burleigh @NickBurleigh4]

@ZackPolanski I totally agree Zack. I also wish that more Jewish people would speak out like you and Miriam Margoyles have done. A Jewish man argued on the radio recently that Jews in the UK shouldn't be expected to do this. Sadly, I think they must, it would be a tool against antisemitism.
