@LGUKCare Hi - none of the apps on my LG TV, other than YouTube, are working properly and I can't stream anything (iPlayer, ITV, Discovery+, Sky all affected). Only YouTube works normally. Exactly the same issue as a few months ago. Are you aware of this?

@postsocialismus Who is this about? I can't see the account name

@martinjstephens what's the most soporific Project Karnak song?

[Ben Phillips @benphillips1989]

@gnnr The way he seems to read the rebound before he's even saved the first one, top class

[Ben Phillips @benphillips1989]

@gnnr Bloody hell that's phenomenal goalkeeping

[Ben Phillips @benphillips1989]

@CesPetitsRiens Ooh.

[Ben Phillips @benphillips1989]

@CesPetitsRiens Just saying: regular readers may wish to know which of the many Pret baristas to have featured in your tweets we're talking about here.

[Ben Phillips @benphillips1989]

@MNakonechnyi Very well deserved indeed.

[Ben Phillips @benphillips1989]

@TedNeath @fletchersimon Akehurst, for one

KEIR STARMER IF HE'D DONE A PHD IN THE HUMANITIES: what we need, then, is a *radical* austerity, an austerity which acknowledges the manifold ways in which we are always-already intertwined with the various narratives, within power and without, of better things not being allowed.

@martinjstephens A unique gig with all bass parts played a fifth above.

[Ben Phillips @benphillips1989]

@TreborRhurbarb @PerthshireMags A bit slower than the previous version I think, which adds to the lethargic feel

@thetvroom Combined late evening programme just now for Points West and Spotlight. Problems in Bristol? Combined opening titles, presumably in reserve for such an eventuality.

[Sean Peel @speelster1973]

@BBCSpotlight Just watched the local evening news and saw it is now Points West and Spotlight.
What's that all about?

[Pauline @pauline_a_d]

@BBCBristol why was points west merged with spotlight at the late news tonight? Is this permanent. Cost cutting?
We didn’t like it. If it’s permanent we won’t be watching .

@Gabodabo If you think it's bad for scientists try applying for MSCA from a humanities background.

Marie Curie did not have to fit 9 deliverabkes, 17 milestones and 44 tasks in a 24 months gantt chart as we, who got the grant in her name, have to do

[Mr Demos of Pnyx @gem_ste]

Look at these chuckling idiots. It's all a game to them, get the Muslim MP on & treat them with withering contempt, it's a good laugh. None of this affects them, none of it ever will & if you want a one shot explanation of why the UK is in the shit for the foreseeable, here it is

[Ben Phillips @benphillips1989]

Ed Balls is rightly getting a pasting for this. At least @BenPBradshaw got a good laugh out of it (watch to the end)

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

.@zarahsultana rightly says politicians should call whats happening as racist and Islamophobic.

Ed Balls forgets he's meant to be the interviewer and gets annoyed because politicians and the media are being held accountable for where we are now #GMB
