Just sat down to catch up on last night’s #traitors with a plate of biscuits, a banana and a caramel wafer.
I had eaten them all by the end of the recap.

we, as a society (the journalism industry), need to have a very frank and serious conversation about what constitutes an exclusive in the year 2026
Sebastian Croft has Joel Dommett’s voice. Like it’s exactly the same. #traitors #celebritytraitors
Three (silent) cheers for the man who called out the idiot playing awful tinny music out loud on the tube!
I was off work poorly last week and every time I wrote the word “ill” on my phone, autocorrect changed it to “I’ll”. Extremely annoying.

We shouldn't have a Quiet Carriage on the train.
We should have a NoisyCcarriage.
If you want to watch/listen to phone without headphones, or have loud and never-ending conversations, you go and sit in the Noisy Carriage.
Rest of the train is de facto Quiet.
Who's with me?
🇮🇲 🗳️ Watching this week’s #IsleofMan election with interest from afar. 24 seats to fill across 12 constituencies.
16 incumbents running including 8 ministers. Will they retain their seats? They’re almost all independents up against 60+ challengers.
Stunning update on the @theJeremyVine show this afternoon... this was a stunt by Singers Secreto!

Whenever I see/hear the name Lola, I involuntarily sing Copacabana in my head.
Walk past Lola’s Cupcakes at a tube station? 🧠=🎶Her name was Lola🎶
Lola gets mentioned on Love Island? 🧠=🎶Her name was Lola🎶
It’s and constant and I can’t do anything about it!
Anyone else?
Wesignation time?
EXCLUSIVE from @breeallegretti @patrickkmaguire @Geri_E_L_Scott
Wes Streeting has told allies that he is preparing to resign and trigger a leadership contest as soon as tomorrow
The health secretary confronted Starmer this morning during a meeting ahead of the King’s Speech that lasted just 16 minutes over the turmoil engulfing the Labour Party
Allies of Streeting who have spoken to him directly said that he has made clear that he is “going to go for it”. One said that he is likely to resign on Thursday and mount a formal challenge for the leadership
One Streeting ally who has spoken to him said: “He is going to go for it. He’s going tomorrow.”
Discussions have also been held to prepare for MPs to sign Streeting’s nomination papers, according to one of those with knowledge of the plans.
Another who has spoken to him said that claims by Starmer’s allies that he has “bottled it” are wide of the mark and that he made clear in private that he will make a bid for the leadership
A spokesman for Streeting said: “Wes is the Health Secretary, he is proud of his record of falling waiting lists and a recovering NHS. He is not planning to say anything following his meeting with the Prime Minister that might distract from the King’s Speech.”

Today on Radio 2, @theJeremyVine was asking about which jobs AI won't be able to do.
#Radio producers, reckon we're okay for now?

Please stop putting QR codes on TV adverts. I’m not going to open my phone camera and scan it during the <10 seconds it’s on screen. Just tell me what I need to know.
Has anyone ever scanned a QR code from a TV ad?
Very interesting afternoon on part of #ThisOxfordStreet with no vehicles.
Presumably if #OxfordStreet does go fully pedestrianised, it wouldn’t be a party like today all the time. But it has to be said - the vibe was brilliant. #AnnieMac made sure of it!
Great to interview Dee Kitchen for our item on unintended consequences of the Online Safety Act today.
He set up and ran a community forum website called Microcosm, but has stepped back because of the act.
