@BBCSport your Olympics coverage is great but why the constant switching between sports? If I'm watching the curling why do you think I suddenly want to watch ice hockey half way through? 😕

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

Hey @ipswichbuses waited for service 10 last night. Stop after Meredith Road. Should have been there just after 7pm but never showed. What happened?

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

The @IpswichGov street cleaner machine has been this morning. Just look how clean those weeds are!

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

@marksandspencer what's happened to the Christmas pannacotta? Too much jelly, pannacotta far too firm. Nothing like as good as previously. Used to be proper pannacotta with coulis. More like kids blancmange and jelly now. Won't be buying it again. 😥

@bbctms @BBCSport what sort of topsy Turvey world am I living in where I can listen to live coverage of Australia v India but not England v New Zealand? Where is my license fee spent here exactly?

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

It's a very fair question

[Esther K @estherckrakue]

Rachel Reeves to Tesco and Wetherspoons who have confirmed that they will increase their prices due to tax hikes:

"They could absorb the extra business costs by becoming more efficient".

If it's so easy, why doesn't she make the NHS & civil service more efficient?! 🤔🙄🤦‍♂️

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

@UKLabour Laughable. I run a small business. You really have no idea do you ...

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I wrote the words below in April, about the UK left, and I'm retweeting them today for the benefit of some of the numbskulls in my mentions.

Women like me, and there are a lot of us, aren't and never have been far-right. We simply want the left to wake the hell up, because we're watching it do its utmost to alienate people it used to represent.

I'm not saying Trump's win was down to the gender stuff - I'm not an American voter, so can't judge. In any case, the Labour Party won the last UK election and they've embraced gender identity ideology whole-heartedly (although they won against a Tory government so enfeebled and unpopular it would have been miraculous if they hadn't, and their popularity since gaining office has plummeted.)

What I do know is that millions of women in the UK and across the developed world are extremely angry about men in women's sport, men in women's jails and the erosion of single-sex spaces. Parents are angry at being demonised because they don't want their troubled kids to undergo irreversible medical treatments of extremely questionable benefit. People are sick to the back teeth of being bullied and threatened for refusing to embrace an elitist, academia-generated ideology that's having severe real world consequences.

Large swathes of the left continue to be threatening and abusive to anybody who resists their attempts to impose ideological language or bully them out of wrongthink. Leftist activists jeer and sneer at erstwhile female allies for the crime of believing biological sex is real and matters. And leftist leaders still appear more interested in sucking up to gender activists than - to take a topical example in the UK - female nurses whose crime is not wanting to undress in front of a fully intact male.

So to those screaming 'bigot' and 'fascist' at me, you should know two things. Firstly, I'm completely indifferent to your disapproval, as I'd have thought you'd have realised by now. Secondly, and far more importantly, the only thing more harmful to your cause than your pseudo-religious belief in gender identities is your astounding, self-righteous arrogance.

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

This is utterly superb. Tom Hunter gives Labour MP Darren Jones a simple and well needed lesson in economic growth.

Labour are full of career politicians who've never had a job. It's terrifying this even needs to be explained!

Worth a watch 🔥

Who Else thinks this chap on Question Time was bloody spot on? 👇👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

Full marks to @marksandspencer for the Les Medailles cheese selection. An interesting selection of original cheeses that cover a great cross section of flavours and textures, and the sheep and goat variants (which can be overly strong) are gentle but distinctive.

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

@ipswichstar24 Why do @suffolkcc need to be asked?

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

Tony Blair is barely ever in the UK, which explains why he still thinks his mass immigration policy was a good one. He should spend a few days in our ruined town centres…. https://t.co/zak9UeOYpR

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

@suffolkcc @btopenreach works ref BC411SA001WFRJ9V7K-01 temp lights installed 23/8. No work done until today 27/8. What exactly was the point of the lights being installed on Friday with traffic disruption all weekend?

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

Absolutely. FPTF is a complete joke. We deserve a representative electoral system and politicians that have to work together for the benefit of all of us. Ditch the tribalism and start working together.

[Nick Woltemade’s Uncle @henningwehn]

FPTP is the strangest concept. An extra 4% equals doubling your seats and vice versa.

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

@tommumford1 @stmaryletower Chuffed to have been part of this. My first peal on 12 bells rung partially sitting, partially standing pre hip-replacement now thankfully completed. The beer afterwards was particularly welcome. 🍺

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

@Geates And Jack Abbott had been doing so well... 🤣

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

Excellent service from @BarnVetPractice today removing a grass sead from Spud's ear. This is the cost of @IpswichGov No Mow May. Walking a dog round our streets is a complete lottery now with these dangerous seeds everywhere. If only they cut the verges regularly. 😠

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

@virginmedia Too late now. Cancelled and off to Zen Broadband. 300Mbps £32 pm.

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

I've been with @virginmedia so long I have an ntlworld email address but I think I've reached the end of the line now. Just can't get broadband at anything like a competitive price. If only I was a new customer I'd be fine. Really hate lovalty being penalised.😠

[Jonathan Williamson @Rieslingnut]

@virginmedia That wasn't mentioned
