Stop with football at the top of your leading politics show @bbclaurak - we used to be a proper country.

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

@networkrail Thank you but I will be making my own complaint. Any repeat this evening and I will be seeking compensation. Your web site says 8.00am until 8.00pm - although your media team doesn’t appear to understand that 20.00pm doesn’t exist.

@SW_Help Thank you for acknowledging my tweets. Could you at least give some estimate as to when these works at Berrylands are going to stop this evening, given that we were told 8.00pm? And you’ve closed the line for four months so work this late is totally unnecessary?

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

@networkrail It’s 5.15am and they are still going.

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

@networkrail Is this continuing tomorrow? Will you pay for my hotel or the cost to my employer for hiring cover for me as I will have to take time off as I can not possibly work on no sleep?

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

@networkrail Absolute jokers. What’s the point of working till 4am when you’ve got the line closed all weekend and the station for FOUR months? Especially as we were told 8am until 8pm. I have a full day of work tomorrow so thanks.

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

@networkrail Guessing it’s not stopping and I’m not sleeping tonight. Great.

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

@networkrail When are works at Berrylands station finishing this evening? We were told 8.00pm. They are still going.

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

@SW_Help Any ideas @networkrail ?

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

Wish me luck @SW_Help - it is outrageous to be continuing to work at this hour.

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

I think your men at Berrylands station can stop working now @SW_Help … it’s gone 10.00pm.

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

No trains moving anywhere at present in the Kingston area to or from Waterloo.

All the sympathy in the world with shopkeepers at the moment, but not sure the BBC should be broadcasting “can’t be arsed” on the morning news. #bbcbreakfast

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

@Richard26Todd66 Good point. Shocking?

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

Song B has to be “shite”. #pointless

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

This is a non-story. Don’t shop online! #theoneshow

@Susan05713606 Tragic.

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

It’s not unrealistic for children to avoid screens. It’s all about parents and caregivers being adults and not being lazy. #bbcbreakfast

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

Why is this man being wilfully ignorant of the obvious harms of social media and smartphones? #bbcbrekfast

[Kingston Mail @kingstonmail]

It’s pronounced “sheh-jool” not “sked-yule” @BBCBreakfast but why in 2026 I expect journalists to command the English language is beyond me. #bbcbreakfast
