#BookTwitter we need your help! I run Book Bodega, an Indy bookshop in Ramsgate. Winter is killing us, it’s soo quiet & we need to make £800 by Tuesday to pay our bills. This is my current view = no customers 🥹. Please shop with us and help us stay open!

Suella Braverman is allegedly threatening to resign. I can think of no less frightening threat, I'd be chuffed if I were Sunak. Off you pop.

I really know how to spend a day off. This gave me untold pleasure.

@TPExpressTrains Would be great if you could take care of your routes overall and not cancel so much last minute. Your malton>York reliability is shocking. We’d all like running trains, station upgrades can wait (even if they shouldn’t have to). Fix the basics, please.

Hold on - wasn’t it those pesky free markets - that she champions - reacting in horror to £45 billion in unfunded tax cuts? That led to surge in cost of borrowing, near collapse of pension industry, and more costly mortgages for all of us. Didn’t Liz Truss bring Liz Truss down?

[tom hall @tomjhall]

*almost* bumped into @jonsopel in queue for toilets in Heathrow - would have thanked him for thoroughly enjoyable/informative @TheNewsAgents and then asked for further programs on the state of education sector after recent uni episode - we need more content on our next generation

Why on earth would you do this?

[Nathan Martin @nathanmart]

@LibDems @kevinhollinrake why would you vote for this? The Derwent & other rivers need to be protected. Very poor show.

2 days ago I randomly bumped into the doctor who in 2017 told me “the good news is the problem you have in your hip can be fixed but you won’t be able to play professional sport again.” I think we dispelled that myth the last 5 days.😉Goodnight ❤️

[Eileen Burbidge @eileentso]

such a beautifully written and important piece by ⁦@Sathnam⁩ 📚 “It puzzles me that while the nation has rallied over the cause of free school meals, it appears indifferent to the decline of these agencies of social mobility.”

“Libraries, man.” 🙇🏻‍♀️ https://t.co/AYm7GdATMg

Latest: Rishi Sunak has flown on to Teesside airport which is a 28 min flight, after telling reporters: “I travel to make myself as effective as possible”.

It’s 3.5 hours by rail - underlining just how rubbish trains across North of England actually are. https://t.co/bkS8PwStpE

Woken up to startling news; Jacinda Ardern resigns as NZ PM after concluding she “no longer has enough in the tank to do it justice”. I’ve only ever seen political leaders forced out or voted out, but in Ardern we find a rare exception, who again shows us how to lead differently

[tom hall @tomjhall]

This is a mess. 3 days of cancelled morning trains so far this week, which means longer, unreliable bus routes (at extra cost) and wasted learning time for kids who need to get to school. @TPExpressTrains absolutely shameful.

[Nick Robinson @bbcnickrobinson]

Trains in Britain are now less reliable than those in Ukraine. Approx 20% of @TPExpressTrains cancelled again today. My @AvantiWestCoast home cancelled too. This is not a strike day (and we are not at war)

[tom hall @tomjhall]

@raffers Thank you - it’s gone into the basket!
