@LeeHurstComic @Bill42X Don’t ignore the times electricity prices go negative, even domestic customers were paid to use it. Because generation and consumption don’t match and we can’t store it. EVs will soon be used to load shift and store. It’s a paradigm shift, it can work. (Has to really)

@MaddisonW92 @MarinaPurkiss Is it like a co-operative? (Obviously without the dividend, membership democracy and support given to the Labour and Co-operative party) and it’s only 5 times the membership

@campbellclaret If he left because the itinerary was set before the GE campaign then it follows there was something more important to do. But he did a GE interview, so what was the thing that was more important than D-Day but less important than ITV interview?

@StellantisYouUK Hi. Don't know what I've done but the digital instruction book in the app is now in Arabic I think. Can't find how to get back to English, Can you help?

@mrjamesob Do we pluralise the first part, like sergeants major?

@virginmedia we’ve had this problem on catch-up channels for weeks. On your community forum lots of others have been experiencing it for months. Technical support on phone need us to read this to them as if they have never heard of it. What is happening?

[Rob Eaglesfield @patmanrob]

@FullFact @campbellclaret To paraphrase:
Liz, “will you be honest?”
Rishi, “oh! Look over there!”
Didn’t need yes or no, he just gave a practical demonstration.

@almurray If you have experience of said technology when do you think the motor will fail after?

[Rob Eaglesfield @patmanrob]

@almurray There’s a microprocessor in the mix. So a perfectly serviceable motor will fail after a counter reaches a pre-programmed value.
Se also printer cartridges. #OrAmICynical

@EmmaKennedy So this for suspicion of not paying fare. Yet there are others under suspicion of far graver (of national importance) not arrested.

@robinince @SlapstickFest I just asked AI to work out the joke from the punchline. You have little to worry about.

Why did the hot dog vendor become a stand-up?

Because he kept repeating his punchline!

Audience: Hey, why do you keep telling the same joke?

Watching #TeensInCare If you think £6K per week for a place in a children's home is expensive just compare it to Eton College. (Michalmass Term,Sep-Dec, 14 weeks).
Childrens home:£6K x 14 = £84K.
Eton Tuition, Board & Lodgings £15,432
Oh, That's £68,568 CHEAPER. #BrokenSystem

@gantyf1 The elephant in the room... She couldn't say "It's a free market economy, we have fewer children's home spaces than you have children. A scarce commodity attracts a premium, it's a seller's market" on TV could she?

[Rob Eaglesfield @patmanrob]

@TopSecreta_ Welcome to the free market economy. There are fewer places in childrens homes than children who need them. it's a "Seller's Market". :-(

[Rob Eaglesfield @patmanrob]

@Alan43027083 Welcome to the free market economy.

@mrskimmorrison @Louise_IFBBPro @JoeSwash @BBC What amazes me is this. If a child from that home (or any for that matter) was sent to Eton next term they would have Eton Tuition, Board & Lodgings and it's £68,565 CHEAPER. (14 weeks @ £6,000 = £84,000. Eton fees £15,432) #TeensInCare

[Rob Eaglesfield @patmanrob]

@mrskimmorrison @Louise_IFBBPro @JoeSwash @BBC Local authorities. They have the statutory duty (and the purse strings) to look after these children. They are at the mercy of market forces (just acknowledging the irony of the word mercy, there’s no mercy, it’s savage).

[Rob Eaglesfield @patmanrob]

@mrskimmorrison @Louise_IFBBPro @JoeSwash @BBC It’s called free market economics. There are fewer care home places than children that need them. One can charge more for a scarce commodity. AKA it’s a sellers “market”. #NeedsAParadigmShift #BrokenSystem
