@Rylan @BBCTwo @RobbieRinder I loved this series so much. Well done to both of you for one of the most touching and life affirming things I’ve seen for a long time

@ktbg1 @ThamesVP Congratulations!

[Kate Saunderson @SaundersonKate]

@Mazda_UK Thanks @Mazda_UK, however that is the number that I rang this morning?

[Kate Saunderson @SaundersonKate]

Hi @Mazda_UK 4) even though this is clearly a serious safety issue for these vehicles. I bought a Mazda based on your reputation for safety, reliability and customer service. It now appears I was misinformed on all 3 fronts.

[Kate Saunderson @SaundersonKate]

Hi @Mazda_UK 3) I’m told that not only will I need to have it re diagnosed by a main dealer at my own expense, even if it’s accepted to be the same fault you will only ‘consider’ partial assistance with the cost of the repair as a ‘goodwill gesture’.

[Kate Saunderson @SaundersonKate]

Hi @Mazda_UK 2) we know this is a recognised issue with Mazdas of this age and that there was a recall AJ024A. Unfortunately the VIN of my vehicle was not included. Therefore although it would be vanishingly unlikely for this not to be the same problem….

[Kate Saunderson @SaundersonKate]

Hi @Mazda_UK - 1) just wanted to tell you how disappointed I am by the response I received from your recall team this morning. I have a 2014 Mazda CX-5 with a warning light on the dashboard. 2 separate garages have run diagnostics and identified the fault to be the vacuum pump

🚨BREAKING🚨
Big news from @SuellaBraverman at #policeconf22, announcing an end to “degree-only” entry routes into policing. An important change I’ve been calling for which will enable @ThamesVP to recruit the best #crimefighters for our community.

@katebodle @MrEFinch @TamsinEdmunds 😂😂😂

[Kate Saunderson @SaundersonKate]

@Baddiel Oh David I am so sorry for your loss.

[Kate Saunderson @SaundersonKate]

@adilray According to the bloke from the Petrol Rerailers Association on the radio this morning, the definition of ‘panic buying’ is filling up your car when you need fuel rather than sticking to the ‘average’ spend of £25-£30. I was gobsmacked

[Kate Saunderson @SaundersonKate]

Am I hallucinating? Bloke from the petrol retailers association on @r4today saying that fuel shortages our fault because ‘normal’ behaviour when you need fuel is not to fill up but buy about £30?? Where’s the logic? That surely just means you need to go to the garage more often?
