@gingerrtom @WMPolice No matter how you try to spin this, it’s basic fascist thuggery. Wouldn’t have been out of place in 1930’s Germany at a NSDAP rally. People need to open their eyes and realise these people will take the country into a reality that previous generations gave their lives to avoid.

@AngelaRayner Made a mistake. Did the right thing. Now we need you to get back to the top. Was really hoping you would be PM> Just takes longer now. Keep being you.

@bbc5live If this had been anywhere else in the UK it would have been dealt with over a decade ago - at least!! https://t.co/jgfr4XeP5n

@DulcetDave Happy Birthday. All the very best!

@bbc5live So I suppose Trump’s Chinese made MAGA baseball caps will now be subject to his own tariffs? - or has he made exemptions? Also, given the current domestic trade climate, isn’t that an ideal time to be looking to re-nationalise some of our industries?

Really? A vaccination sceptic as Health Secretary?
Good luck America. Welcome back to the 19th century.

The Olympics should really bring back the white front scoring area on boxing gloves. I’m sure the GB team are getting out-pointed by opponents ‘slapping’ them.
Thats the only reason I can find for some of the questionable score cards.

Listening to @bbc5live and the @NickyAACampbell show where he’s talking to young adults. The word ‘like’ is far too overused - to the point of itritation.

@OVOEnergy Topped-up twice in the last couple of days via online/app payments, but my smart meter hasn't updated my credit amount. Is there a delay in the system - and if my credit reaches £0.00 despite accepted payments - what happens?

[Richard Wilkie @Kaishowing]

@Jameslee_lofc @DulcetDave @leytonorientfc Having the same problem.

@bbc5live @NickyAACampbell Live in Caithness - so even if I could afford an EV, there isn’t the range to be practical. Why not concentrate on Hydrogen? Refill like petrol vehicles! It’s VHS vs Betamax all over again! The inferior tech is winning.

@bbc5live Are submersibles free of the regular maritime regulation preventing them from having any AIS hardware on board? Thanks.

@bbc5live Re: your discussion about BoJo & the Privilages Committee report & Partygate - seems 2 be a similar attitude 2 Nixon over Watergate - 'because I'm the PM it's not against the law or wrong'. Surely MPs in general & the PM in particular should be held to a higher standard
