Has anyone tried complaining to uber? When your ride doesn’t come but you are still charged a cancellation fee? Try it and let me know if you succeed. I wait agog

@questingvole Hooray!

Actually banksy has now confirmed it is by him so Hornsey road is now an art destination. Great!

[Lynn Barber @lynnbaba]

Went to see the new banksy in Hornsey road near me. Actually I don’t think it is a banksy, not witty enough, but it certainly brought some fun, crowds of journos and jeremy Corbyn, to a particularly dull road, so thank you banksy or whoever.

@susanhillwriter Thank you, will get a new one.

Something horrible has happened to kindle. It keeps telling me I’m on a reading streak but refuses to sell me books! Also it has deleted my old kindle library.

[Lynn Barber @lynnbaba]

So sorry to hear of death of Ann Leslie. She was an inspiring journalist but also great fun.

@wturvill @pressgazette @DomPonsford Thank you so much, I kiss your toes

[Lynn Barber @lynnbaba]

@TanyaGold1 I was surprised too tho she did say I was lovely to meet! I thought it was quite a sympathetic piece. Heigh ho.

So happy Grayson has got a k. Now Philippa can be a lady. But why hasn’t Jamie Oliver got one?

[Lynn Barber @lynnbaba]

Highly resent the idea that because lady Susan hussey is 83 she can be excused for making racist remarks. I am 78 and don’t want to be tarred with the slur that all oldies are racists.

@suzanne_moore That’s what I felt too about Ian jack, that he had my back. So I could afford to take risks, because he would rein me in when I went too far. I’ve never had an editor I trusted so much. And, as you said, a lovely writer and kind friend.

[Lynn Barber @lynnbaba]

@HadleyFreeman Like you, devastated by loss of Ian jack. I was so lucky to have had him as my editor and I remember his gentle way of correcting me when he felt I had gone over the top.

[Lynn Barber @lynnbaba]

Just heard that Ian jack died. He was my wonderful editor on the independent on Sunday and also published my memoir an education when he was editor of granta. I owe him so much.

Tom Bradby on itv has done brilliant queen coverage. Bbc dull by comparison.

[Lynn Barber @lynnbaba]

@cguyver Thank you so much

[Lynn Barber @lynnbaba]

I dare say there are more urgent problems in the world but mine is how to get roger et gallet oillet mignardise soap? I have loved 50 years and hoped it would see me out but now seems unobtainable.

[Lynn Barber @lynnbaba]

@Marthalanefox So sorry and hope you get out soon

[Lynn Barber @lynnbaba]

@RoisinThornhill Thanks. But I��ve been downloading books to kindle on my iPad for years and now suddenly buggered.

[Lynn Barber @lynnbaba]

What’s happened to kindle? I’ve been using it for years but latest book I bought pwent to something called cloud reader never to be found. And, worse, the several hundred books in my kindle library seem to have disappeared
