@VirginAtlantic Hi Chris

As I said - I want a direct contact. I’ve tried chat - no use. I’ve tried phone - 1 hour wait.

I have been waiting over 6 weeks now. I need a better solution than that

[Dave Austin @dave_austin19]

@VirginAtlantic I have been awaiting a refund and response for over 6 weeks. I want to speak to someone immediately. And I don’t want to wait 60mins on the phone. Get someone to contact me ASAP

Excitedly debating what to spend that Tory 2p NI tax cut on (£100pm). Maybe a contribution to the extra £1000 interest on mortgage, or towards private health care to bypass 18 week waitlists, maybe on a taxi during the next train strike? Decisions, decisions. Lucky us @TimesRadio

@MattChorley Phew! Wasn’t sure if News UK had sent you to purgatory… (Virgin Radio)

[Dave Austin @dave_austin19]

@Baddiel ‘Wolly without a Brolly’ is just as easy to say and actually makes more sense.

[Dave Austin @dave_austin19]

So, @MattChorley - the real question on everyone's mind... what does today mean for your election campaign?

[Dave Austin @dave_austin19]

@DKThomp Interesting. But there's a major flaw in the survey... 'Happy' and 'Less Stressed' are not the same thing. Putting them together like this is misleading.

I can fully appreciate people would feel less stressed with more money to cover bills, not nec. 'happy'.

@Pret Welcome to Club Pret, where you’ve upped my subscription from £20-£25-£30 whilst increasing all food prices in store but now give me 10% off (still more expensive). Also, explain why your customers must pay your increased energy costs when they have their own to deal with?

@markhadfield @WeWork Check out https://t.co/NJqhJ9uXv6

£5ph

Mostly in South London.

I checked one out once - not bad.

@EurostarUK @Eurostar Absolute carnage at St Pancras. What a terrible experience. It used to be relaxed and better than flying… now, what’s the point?

[Dave Austin @dave_austin19]

@markhadfield I guess we can definitely rule out any NUFC players taking a stand for human rights… ;)

Gary Lineker suspended by the BBC for upsetting the Conservatives because he stood up for some of the most vulnerable people in the world. The same BBC whose chairman gave the Conservatives £400,000 before helping to arrange an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson

@leytonorientfc Hi, I'm desperately looking for x2 tickets to the O's final home game against Stockport. My best friend and lifelong O's fan has been suffering severely from Long COVID for 14 months. This would be his first game he's able to attend since the pandemic. Any help?

[Dave Austin @dave_austin19]

@oxford_guthier Cake? Or not cake?

[Dave Austin @dave_austin19]

@tottster @guardian The worst part is that they’ve essentially also written a paycheck for numpties like Piers Morgan for the next few years… 🤦‍♂️

[Dave Austin @dave_austin19]

@tottster @guardian In the case of Harry (and others similar) they get paid big book deal fees. Penguin Random House are said to have paid up to $35m for a multi-year book deal. He’ll get paid a hefty chunk regardless of whether it only sells 10 copies.

@mattski2000 Which platform did you use for this, mate?

[Dave Austin @dave_austin19]

@amateuradam Surely 'A. Kay in a manger'...

[Dave Austin @dave_austin19]

@MattChorley So, pushed on an answer to ‘give me one positive attribute that Liz Truss brings to PM’, Mitchell said ‘Jeremy Hunt’. #ShitShow #TimesRadio🤣🤦‍♂️
