@BBCNews We must see more of Vanessa Silva. She has very quickly become my favourite reporter!

[Steven Scates @stevenscates]

@afneil BBC seem to have no idea as to what is going on or whom is doing what! Rubbish!!

[Steven Scates @stevenscates]

@BBCNews For goodness sake stop this inane talking and let us see and hear the ceremonies in Edinburgh! This is tv - not radio!

[Steven Scates @stevenscates]

@BBCNicWitchell when talking about the protocol for the newly elected Prime Minister to see the Queen at Balmoral explained that this would be Lizz Truss despite the fact that the election is not yet closed! How balanced was this @BBCNews?

@TheMontyDon @GWmag As a London gardener seeing all the wonderful big gardens on Gardener’s World can be a bit discouraging. Seeing Adam starting from scratch tonight with his new north facing garden was a real treat. Please keep up with his progress and no cheating!

@FinancialTimes Given that inflation is almost entirely supply led, why does trying to curb demand by increasing interest rates seem like a good idea? No one is borrowing money because they fancy buying more gas than they need!

@FinancialTimes UK inflation is supply led - not demand led so increasing interest rates will have no effect. O level economics understood by the Bank of England but apparently not by financial journalists.

@itvpeston @Peston @KwasiKwarteng Kwarteng really didn’t want to be there - he knows it’s crap!

[Steven Scates @stevenscates]

@itvpeston @Peston @KwasiKwarteng Possibly the most harmful mistake Boris has made with the tiniest benefit!

[Steven Scates @stevenscates]

@DAaronovitch For people who had not seen their families last year for months, cancelling Christmas was sad and a big deal. But do the press really believe anyone cares about whether we can have a turkey or not? So misconceived and patronising!

@BBCNewsnight @NFUtweets @Minette_Batters This is a failure of these industries and it is surprising that the Labour Party supports using cheap foreign labour rather than paying local labour properly.

[Steven Scates @stevenscates]

@BBCNewsnight @NFUtweets @Minette_Batters What this and other staff shortages show is how long UK industries have been relying on underpaid cheap foreign labour rather than pay a proper wage with good working conditions that the market actually requires.

London hit by first plague of rains and flooding today. Gods punishment for #Southgate’s mis-management last night?

[Steven Scates @stevenscates]

@WeeMissBea Love watching everything you do but felt a bit uncomfortable with the very personal comments about Boris and Carrie’s very private wedding. Why was everyone so mean?

[Steven Scates @stevenscates]

@BBCPolitics So, the BBC is going to launch a full scale investigation as to their own deceit and failure to punish miscreants. I wonder who will be paying for this! Come on - the BBC has run it’s course.

@AFP As soon as a Belarusian MiG 29 was scrambled to intercept a civilian airline Poland and Lithuania should have put fighters in the air to stop this. That is the point of being a member of NATO - no? #noguts

@lucrezianews If Europe hate us so much then perhaps our bands should stop touring continental Europe and they can put up with their 70’s pop drivel! #Eurovision

[Steven Scates @stevenscates]

No body like us and we don’t care! #Eurovision
