Good to see Rishi Sunak taking the train at Northallerton today, now helicopters are out. Shame he took up an entire first class carriage, as due to a cancellation others were left standing. Compliments @lner staff for taking extra care of those inconvenienced #uktrains

To back up yesterday's arts funding tweet - "the entire UK arts spend is less than that of the city of Berlin"

It's no wonder we're all burnt out.

Brexit is the elephant in the room parties don't want to talk about - especially Reform. Farage says we're skint but won't say what a disaster he helped cause through Brexit. We can't let him get away with it.

There are national reviewers that have reviewed more shows in New York than York this year, that would have you believe the only theatre in Yorkshire is the Crucible and the occasional show at Leeds. This is a disrespect to @thesjt @HullTruck and @york

@LindaBxx Thanks for documenting this and for showing that slow travel is both viable and enjoyable, as well as the only option for the environment - and for many journeys it's not even slow!

[Philip Parr @ParrPhilip]

@rayspencermbe @thecustomshouse You will be a very hard act to follow, particularly as a role model and inspiration for others.

@EurostarUK my train connections to Brussels are severely delayed because of the weather. So I will miss my booking on the last service to London. What is the procedure to rebooking and accommodation? Many thanks
