This is a very good idea from a very clever person. Elon Musk has replied to say it's a "good idea".

.@elonmusk, how about a feature on @twitter that serves you the most-liked tweets that take the opposite side of the argument that you just viewed? We should always want to know the best case against a view we have come to believe.

Supermarkets and big brands are cutting the amount of the key, most expensive, ingredients in ready meals, soups, meal kits, kids' food and drinks by to 60pc - something @WhichUK says is 'sneaky'. Going on @TalkTV to discuss dailymail.co.uk/news/article…
Why is there less fish in your fish pie and less beef in a chow mein?

Heavy frosts due in spring aren't just bad for those of us eager for some warmth and sun. Temps as low as -8C willl stall growth of apples, pears and other fruit and veg - hitting yields and delaying crops. mailplus.co.uk/edition/news/…

Grocery price inflation has risen again to 17.1%, the highest level ever recorded by @Kantar. Grocery shopping is the biggest expense for households after energy, and this rise adds £811 to typical annual bill compared to year before.

After 12 years (and millions of hidden orange puddings), Waitrose has parted ways with celeb chef Heston. He was a bit too 'unpredictable' - and spent all his time in France. But there is a farewell choc product for Easter: the Dabbit, a rabbit/duck cross mailplus.co.uk/news/260475/w…

This is a fascinating story, and has created a good debate about council tax rates.

Britain’s council tax system is so warped that this £28 million townhouse in Belgravia pays less than this £240k terrace in Rutland 😱

We know inflation is bad, but the MoS's investigation shows some groceries have DOUBLED in price. Though a few products cost LESS (good news for well-groomed men with a taste for sticky toffee pudding and cheese Pringles!) mailplus.co.uk/edition/news/… via @mailplus

Smeg reckon it's the future of cooking - an oven that can roast a chicken in 30 mins. But it's pretty pricy at £3,000 mailplus.co.uk/edition/news/…

Energy bills help - £400 off all bills (no longer £200 loan) pus £300 for OAPs and £650 for low income homes. Seems @RishiSunak listened to what @MartinSLewis asked for in MoS. Shows power of strong campaigning by consumer groups like @MoneySavingExp mailplus.co.uk/edition/news/…

Apparently, a £65 wooden replica of a Waitrose supermarket will be one of the top ten toys this Christmas. That's according to Waitrose owner John Lewis. (Who reckon the start of the summer holidays is a good time to break this revelation).
