Seeing @wizzair criticise @nats as ā€œnot fit for purposeā€ is likely to stick in the craw of the many passengers who pay to fly with Wizz Air on overbooked flights and endure a long wait at departures to find out whether they actually have a seat.

So pleased for our colleagues at ITV in Yorkshire - richly deserved. @emmerdale has had a brilliant year and the last couple of weeks have been unmissable. To everyone in front of, and behind the camera - congratulations!!
Wow, we can’t believe it - we won the biggie! ✨ We are beyond grateful to everyone who voted, it really means so much to us! 🫶 #Emmerdale #NTA #TeamEmmerdale

Tomorrow’s events at the Freedom Festival (this year’s theme: Peace) cancelled or moved at the last minute as a result of ā€œcircumstances beyond our controlā€. Meanwhile, the organisers of the rally which triggered the 2024 riot in Hull are allowed to stage another one.

Public service announcement. There will be no more premier league fans visiting Humberside this football season. It doesn’t exist. For all those who got it wrong this weekend - the correct words you’re looking for are East Yorkshire. Thanks.

I’ll be off your TVs for some time. I’ve clumsily managed to break my shoulder so I’m out of action for a while. Very grateful that it sounds like it should repair well but for now, lots of rest and learning to do less!

I’m fascinated to analyse why some appointments were earlier as shown by the mantelpiece clock but the social media posts were delayed and they were announced out of sequence. This one was particularly delayed.
Lisa Nandy has been appointed as Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport @dcms.

I realise I’m probably coming to this late sitting down to watch a first match from the start - but since when did we have a countdown from 10 to kick off?

I’ve seen better green screen backgrounds on work Zoom calls than these jury vote announcements. #eurovision

However - for me the winner has to be Australia even if Greece is my massive guilty pleasure #eurovision

I think Austria’s song is exactly what I’d enter if I didn’t want to host the contest for a second year running. #eurovision

Romania. Make it stop. This is terrible. If we do worse than this then that’s the benchmark for national disaster. #eurovision

Norway - I think it was performed very well and another year might have been more memorable for me. But just not my thing #eurovision

Picture the scene. It’s your wedding day. You’ve booked a brilliant singer to perform and they cancel the day before and Italy’s singer turns up instead. Quelle Horreur. Honestly I couldn’t bear it. #eurovision

I did enjoy Sweden - but then I always did like Cascada. The backing singers did very well. At times I felt like I was hearing more from the off stage singer than the lead singer. #eurovision
