.@Emmabarnett should have to apologise on air to @KemiBadenoch for this morning’s @BBCr4today interview. That wasn’t serious journalism. It was a playground attack, completely out of step with the policy issues normal people care about

[Paul Middleton @pjsmiddleton]

Well worth reading...

My thoughts on the Rubiales 'disasterclass' via @CIPRCrisisComm, in the context of behaviour-led crises at the Met, the CBI, ITV, the BBC, McDonalds and FIFA.

You're defined not by the values you promote, but by the attitudes and behaviours you tolerate.

A really useful explanation of why we’re in such a pickle…

What's just happened to the UK economy? A thread on how we got here, and what's next for Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng... 1/

Why does the PR trade like to shoot itself in the foot?

[Lucy Tobin @lucytobin]

Some of today's press releases are really awful.

"The Queen mentioned that even after experiencing loss, ‘there will be joy in Christmas.’ So after careful consideration, we can confirm that xxxx retailer's Christmas Event will still go ahead..."

Better to just... say nothing?

Really pleased to see @ppmcnallyjr in the news for @teamthirdbridge

[Yahoo Finance @YahooFinance]

$AAL “is in some tough positions in a lot of different ways,“ @teamthirdbridge Global Sector Lead @ppmcnallyjr on the $JBLU and $SAVE merger. “Florida is a big market for them, it's where almost the entire industry focused its efforts as we started to recover from the pandemic.”

@IsabelOakeshott @grantshapps Generally, I think you talk a lot of sense, but on this issue you are badly out of touch. Working people are getting crushed by a gov that has lost its way and a leader who will do anything to cling on to power

Word of the day is 'corrump' (14th century): to destroy something morally, or bring it down to nothing.

@michael_taggart There’s a meteor?!

@emmahaslett If you want calm kids you have to be a calm parent. Hard (possibly impossible to do but a worthy aim all the same). Also tell them what’s coming in advance and give them some agency/easy choices

@caitlinmoran I don’t go to the Dr unless something is literally broken. Part of it is not having the time. Another big part is a deep seated confidence that I’ll just shake it off. All my male friends are the same.

@NileGardiner @BorisJohnson Nonsense

[Paul Middleton @pjsmiddleton]

Bluster? Unifying the Conservatives?

A lot of people are going to really struggle. We do need to see big ideas from @RishiSunak this week

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

'We are in the worst position I have seen since I started being the Money Saving Expert back in 2000.'

@MartinSLewis is calling for the govt to bring the prices down amid the cost of living crisis as he explains that all the usual 'tricks and tools to help people are gone.'
