Group Product Manager, Apps @Economist. Previously Product Director @FT. @BBC before that. No longer giving this platform my attention. Awaiting new ownership.

@tntsports Pushing Giro highlights from 8 to 9:45pm isn't a smart way to win over cycling fans already bristling at paying £30pm for a bundle of unwanted sports. Just drives more 👀 to YT. A dumb strategy from ppl who don’t understand the sport or its audience.

Can't say this enough; Elon Musk's menace to democracy is intolerable. He's using the largest & most influential platform in the democratic world to stoke racial conflict and civil breakdown - in his own posts & what X promotes. Democracies can no longer ignore this.

@TLRailUK The aircon on coach 401153 5.59 BFR > BTN is blowing hot? Can you do anything about that?

[James Webb @JamesWebb]

@British_Airways while the world goes nuts for AI, please can you alert your technology people to the rather more basic function of Boarding passes that are available via Apple Wallet instead of a PDF.

Useful summary of Apple's latest plans for DMA for anyone in the App store.

Interesting too that Apple justifies their fees by saying their "tools tools create a lot of value for developers". They've clearer never looked at Play Store's tooling.

@samuelbailey So I just need to negotiate down to only a 40% increase from 55% then. Phew.

[James Webb @JamesWebb]

Can anyone explain the reason for the >50% hike in car insurance since last year? #Ripoffbritain

[James Webb @JamesWebb]

@bowbrick Nope. I haven’t made a claim ever in over 20 yrs. Barely change my cars either.

[James Webb @JamesWebb]

@askesure you cannot seriously be putting this increase down to inflation? From £386 > £599. Never made a claim in 20 years. Rude!
