Once a journalist, always a journalist: not practising now but enjoying retirement among the dreaming spires instead of reporting the doings of the Dales.

@giles_fraser Just this - you are so right.

@maitlis 😱

@Mendelpol But we are upset about all of that! I just hoped that Starmer and Labour would be different. It’s a massive disappointment and sadness. I’m more enraged about Edwards, of course, but that doesn’t mean I can’t feel sad that Mr-Boring-But-Honourable Starmer has let us down.

@afneil Oh for the days when we were limited to 120 characters.

@willglloyd You’re so right. And I am a pensioner. It’s ridiculous.

[Betsy Everett @jenniferbee33]

@KingLucythe1st Maybe they wouldn’t need it if the energy companies coughed up out of their vast profits. Or am I missing something?

@jeremycorbyn Building a fairer society can’t include giving WFA to millionaires. Or even to pensioners like me who don’t need it. It’s an odd notion of fairness.

[Betsy Everett @jenniferbee33]

@DeborahMeaden So right. I’m also a pensioner who doesn’t need it. How difficult can means-testing be in this day and age?

[Betsy Everett @jenniferbee33]

@Sillyshib Totally agree. I’m one of them! Everything is geared to us. We even brought Brexit on the younger generation- thought not me personally.

@CrossCountryUK Your delay repay service is seriously flawed. Two people travelling, with two tickets, but only one of them is numbered. So I can only claim for one - how is this possible?

@JohnLewisRetail Is it true you are closing your store in Newcastle?

[Betsy Everett @jenniferbee33]

@LNER Thanks - it’s worth a try.

[Betsy Everett @jenniferbee33]

@LNER Specs found on Wednesday Sept 4th, platform 6, Newcastle Central Station. Forgot to hand them to Lost Property. What can I do?

[Betsy Everett @jenniferbee33]

@LNER Not planning to, no. But would happily post if I could be sure someone would place it in lost property? Also I do live near Oxford station. Would they send it on?

[Betsy Everett @jenniferbee33]

@stephenRB4 Yes!

[Betsy Everett @jenniferbee33]

@PebbleBT It reminds me rather of this little face. . .

[Betsy Everett @jenniferbee33]

@BeardedGenius 🤣🤣🤣

@JohnSimpsonNews And what a picture that is. Showing everything his opponents loathe about him, and everything his supporters admire. What a world we live in, John.

@simon_schama @RoryStewartUK Civilised discourse? Really? Is this Twitter?
