The Ryanair statement is.... odd. "One passenger requested and received medical assistance"

The bloke was sucked out of the aircraft window to his shoulders - why did he have to ask? And since it was Ryanair, did they charge him?

Scott Mills being sacked is more news worthy than Iran , Gaza, Sudan, West Bank, Straight of Hormeuz
Genocide, War Crimes, Epstein, Andrew, Trump, Fergie

@peterheaton1 @diana_blamires @3BSRadio And difference between Fewer and Less. And Refute and Deny.

Wondering how a tv news crew just happened to be there when Brahim Kaddour-Cherif was arrested.

[Ray Alexander @rayalexander01]

@peterheaton1 Same with a shop here in south London. It’s desperate marketing. Christmas will kick in about October.

@EmmaCDeSouza For an orbital NASA defence drone, this Belfast bonfire seen from space looks like a nuclear attack launch. The simple AI thinking drone will interact and automatically fire defence weapons to destroy the launch site.

On holiday in NYC but as a journalist of 20 years + couldn’t, in all good conscience, not come to observe the Anti-Trump protests drawing thousands across America: 1/ #NoKingsDay

@TonyEvans92a @Tesco It’s not legally a Fine. It’s an invoice. A bill. A Tesco bill. Damage to their brand and reputation. A parking fine is on street or public place from a police-authorised enforcement officer.

Very sorry to hear of the death of Peter Gould.

The day a new US President is elected, especially one as news worth as Donald Trump, is a great day for firms and governments to bury bad news. Wonder what'll be snuck out today...

When did we start measuring things in polar bears?
Did I miss a meeting?

[Ray Alexander @rayalexander01]

@gemma__roper Well done. Remember to tell anyone invited for interview if it’s Live Or Recorded. Don’t take it for granted - even in our times - that they should know.

I’m inviting trouble with this question but it’s been a few days now and I still can’t figure out why some people are so angry that Sue Gray ( once a very senior civil servant) earns £3k more than PM Starmer, and why on earth it’s even a big-ish news story. Explanations,pls?

[Prof Colin Talbot (and my late pal Rory) @colinrtalbot]

@SangitaMyska @JohnFoster12 This was about inventing an “exclusive” out of … nothing.

There are literally 100s of senior civil servants on salaries around or above those of the PM and Ministers. Has been the case for decades. All Gray’s recent predecessors earned the same or even more.

@MethodyBelfast At MCB event in London I met a former student. He was hopeless at sport also left with poor exam results and no Uni. Aged 28 he sold his software firm to Microsoft for £25 million. So if results disappointing never despair. Nobody can ever take education away from you.

Perhaps broadcasters could have asked politicians about these issues, instead of obsessing about polls, betting, Diane Abbott and all the other ephemeral stuff?

@mr_sjpatterson Hope Street. Lovely looking and predictable tv direction. Wide Shot of lighthouse, shot of car on sea road, theme tune, shot of hope street front, talking scene, shot of interview room door, interview shot, more talking scene, lighthouse again, interview room door again.

@bigkenreid On news reports from Stormont we see all the bright lights illuminating the buildings. Can’t they be turned off to save money and that go to the grid to help people keep warm.
