And now they have shown a clip of the finish, I'm pretty sure they mis-named the first 3.

The @bbcsport coverage of the london mini marathon is spectacularly awful. They've already failed to show the finish of the U18 men and the wheelchair races.

@leekern13 @zarahsultana The tribe thing is weird. Almost every European is descended from the Jewish tribe(s) of 3000 years ago (and, indeed, every other Middle Eastern tribe from that time). I challenge you to define criteria for contemporary membership that don't rely on spirituality in some way.

And yes, I know that I'm now going to get a load of DMs from fake Avianca accounts trying to phish my personal information. Honestly, that's going to be an improvement on the legit @avianca experience.

@bbclaurak Saying Nigel Farage doesn't have what it takes to lead Reform is like saying Sooty doesn't have what it takes to lead The Sooty Show.

The Country Land and Business Association says the new £1m cap on agricultural inheritance tax relief will "harm 70,000 farms". That's 1/3 of all farms.

What does the actual data show? Less than 500 farms/year will be pay more tax as a result of this change every year. Possibly as few as 100.

@British_Airways The latest is @AlexBritisAir

Does anyone know what the fake customer service accounts that follow you after you complain about @British_Airways here actually want? Is it just followers, or are they trying to do some kind of phishing attack?

[joelphillips @joelphillips]

@British_Airways Thanks. Details sent via DM.

[joelphillips @joelphillips]

@British_Airways cancelled my both my outbound and inbound flights this summer. 11 and 9 weeks later and I'm still waiting for them to refund my hotel and my replacement flight.

Do they just think if they close their eyes really tightly all the problems will go away?

Time again for our annual "what the interns have wrought" post. If you want to know what it's like to be an intern at Jane Street, read on!

@krishnanrohit Pilot licensing.

If Times journalists took courses where they learned about the effect of skewed distributions on means and medians, perhaps they'd write better headlines (and earn more).

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

Most leavers earn less than the average twentysomething, official figures reveal. So how does your subject stack up?

[joelphillips @joelphillips]

So, if you complain on twitter about british airways, you get replies from lots of spam accounts with no followers. I wonder what happens if you engage with them?

[joelphillips @joelphillips]

@British_Airways I think that the guy at the airport who'd been waiting for 2 hours for his bags from his cancelled flight and had to choose between abandoning his bags or feeding his kids (no food in the reclaim area) would probably agree.

[joelphillips @joelphillips]

"Computer says no" moment with @British_Airways . BA flight cancelled. Customer support agree that I ought to be able to take an early AC flight tomorrow. But because I had bottled and accepted the best (but much later) BA flight while waiting on hold, she can't change it.

[joelphillips @joelphillips]

@British_Airways So an already frustrating and unpleasant experience becomes unnecessarily worse. @british_airways customer service feels like it's a cost centre, rather than something that they are proud of.
