NEW: Ten years on, Prime Minister @andyburnham tells @campbellclaret & @RoryStewartUK that there was ‘clear’ Russian interference in the Brexit vote. FINALLY after years of cover-ups & denials from the highest levels of the UK govt. That in itself deserves an inquiry. 1/

I’m not going to agree with Andy Burnham on everything, but this statement needed to be said by a Prime Minister. After the Conservatives suppressed the truth for years, this took courage.

Gill’s conviction for taking Kremlin money is yet more evidence of Russian influence in our politics, as Russia report itself found. So when will Ministers finally investigate this wider interference? Why must we pursue in court? ⁦@allthecitizens⁩ theguardian.com/politics/202…

@ITV Hi, I enjoyed the first two episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds last week and was looking forward to seeing the next but I can’t find it in the TV listings anywhere. Could you let me know what date/time you’re showing it please? Thanks!

Almost three weeks now since I was able to use the Sainsbury’s website. Countless other people continue to report similar problems, yet there’s _still_ no public statement from Sainsbury’s as to what’s going on!

Hi @sainsburys , on Thursday I was told that your Technical Team was aware of the ongoing problems with your groceries website and was addressing them urgently. Can you give any update yet on when it might be possible again to book a delivery slot? Thanks.

The issue is with the Sainsburys password authentication server returning 500 Internal Server Errors. You need to fix/reset your server. It's nothing to do with users' browsers! See screenshot below. Sainsburys - gaslighting people is not a good look!

Wondering just how many times today @sainsburys are going to respond to essentially the same report from different customers about problems logging into their groceries accounts before admitting the problem is at their end. Would be a lot less stressful for us customers!

Hey @AmazonUK , any chance you could ask your delivery drivers to try ringing the doorbell or even opening the unlocked porch door instead of leaving my parcels in the front garden in the pouring rain and accessible to anyone who happens to walk past? If I hadn’t happened to

see your driver walk past my window a few minutes ago, and rushed out to rescue my delivery, the items I’d paid for would by now most likely have been stolen (which happens often around here) or soaking wet and ruined.

As you might know, Amazon is making changes that force authors to raise their prices to earn any kind of royalty from their smaller books. Print copies of STRANGE MITCHAM will be increasing by £2 tomorrow so if you want to order a copy before the price goes up, now's the time!

Just received my bill from you, @thameswater - it says my household usage has gone up by 6% and so you’ve increased my monthly payments from £59 to £91, which - according to mathematics- is an increase of over 54%! How in the name of sanity can you justify that?

Please read and share. These Kingdom bullies operate on behalf of Merton Council too. Last year they tried to fine me £150 in Mitcham, making up a completely fabricated story that they had filmed me throwing a used tissue onto the ground. #London insidecroydon.com/2024/12/20…
