Stuck in traffic less than a mile from @VictoriousFest Portsmouth for an hour and waiting. Pretty useless organisation.

No self awareness from far-left protesters in Portland:

Chose the festive Turkey and Cranberry toasties at @CostaCoffee
Big mistake. Looks awful, tastes awful, and limp - less a toastie than a soggie. #Horrible

Can't get @TicketmasterUK to respond to questions where my tickets for @IsleOfWightFest are but they have emailed inviting me to buy more! Funny that....

[Ian Murray @editorianmurray]

Hey @TicketmasterUK where are my @IsleOfWightFest tickets? Paid for them in March, still no show and - surprise surprise - no number to call and enquiries email - when you can finally find it- is 'very busy.'

@JaneArcherUK Couldn't agree more Jane. Strange decision for a government that supposedly wishes to go indie and welcome the world...

@emmacruises Celebrity - the Caribbean in mid-90s. We were cruise skeptics but cruise converts by the end of the week.

"The UK media is not bigoted and will not be swayed from its vital role holding the rich and powerful to account following the attack on the press by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex": Robust statement from @EditorsUK following Meghan and Harry's interview https://t.co/pa1sa3KRie

"Three women who worked at a local news outlet were gunned down in eastern Afghanistan on Tuesday, according to local officials, adding to the bloody tally of Afghan media workers and journalists who have been killed at alarming rates in the past year." https://t.co/PTfBoK0Lyd

Today is the 85th anniversary of the maiden flight of the iconic #Spitfire. Flown by pilots from all over the world, it helped change the course of WW2 and our history. We will have a fitting tribute to the aircraft and all who built and flew it in its home town #Southampton

@alisongow Autocorrect usually changes my name from Murray to Murky - which I can't really argue with...

[Jason Horton @JasonHorton_uk]

Really sad news - Bob was a good friend to the BBC in Cambridge when I was Editor there - passionate about local journalism holding those in power to account...

@AdventureZandB Try smothering in English mustard...

@dankerins @milesSI Good luck on the move both. V brave in the middle of a pandemic - something to boast to the grand kids about

@Lordteazyweazy @ruthiemeech Hmmmm - enjoyed the film but historically way off the mark and every time Timothée picked up his sword I feared his arm would break. Henry V was brutally ugly having been struck in the face by a crossbow bolt at 16 and would have been a gym bunny of his day not stick thin.

The US tv network ABC reported from London that people were staging firework displays to welcome the news that Joe Biden had won the presidency. No one told them it was Guy Fawkes night.
