Covid meant hotels needed longer to clean rooms and only allowed 3 pm check-in. They also didn’t clean your room during your stay. The practice continues for no good reason other than profit.

Phenomenal lightning storm over Vienna

@campbellclaret I hope you don’t mind me offering some Spanish & Portuguese pronunciation tips for the letters ‘ch’: Venezuela’s Chávez and Machado— ‘ch’ as in ‘chair’, not ‘sh’ or ‘k’. Portugal’s Chega party—‘sh’.

Bought a #Dyson V15 (I know, I know). It cost EUR 800 and packed in after a year. We've spent HOURS trying to get support from them, they've sent us round the houses and completely wasted our time. A hideously expensive mistake. Don't touch them!

Excellent news. The Tories should never have got rid of media studies. theguardian.com/education/arti…

@ap_burgess Excellent. Thank you!

@LisatheSimpson A T-moth?

Can anyone identify this insect?

@joncoopertweets It always bugged me: what does 'Mar-a-Lago' even mean? 'Sea-[random letter]-Lake'?

This is the room at Mar-a-Lago where Trump held his unhinged press conference yesterday. Describe the room in ONE word.

Nigel Farage says it upsets him when people call the far-right violence 'The Farage Riots'. So people should definitely not do that

The OBR has confirmed they were only told about the massive overspends in Jeremy Hunt's Spring Statement last week. This confirms the Tories covered up a £22 billion black hole in their budget before the election. Never believe what they say about the public finances ever again

Was wondering what my former Tory MP was up to now only to discover that he blocked me *after* losing his seat. I can’t think when I lasted tweeted him. A bit paranoid to go through your followers presumably blocking everyone.

@acnewsitics @kazza62blue Is this about the #OpeningCeremony ? What have they said?

It's crazy how MAGA doesn't know who Marie Antoinette is. That's what happens when you're dumb and also want to ban books.

Preparation is the key to success.

@DeborahMeaden Some bits were a little too long but others were stunning and pure genius. Those up in arms still obviously fail to understand France's commitment to secularism.

Olympic opening ceremony… well?

@JoannaBorysiak Am I wrong to really feel for other teachers when the bar has been set *that* high?

My daughter's Y3 teacher is the absolute GOAT. She single-handedly crocheted a mini-me of each kid in her class as an end of year gift. Approx. 8hrs per doll. Even the hairstyles and clothes are spot on. What a legend.

Because Gary Lineker occasionally speaks out and is, broadly, on the right page and perceived to be one of the 'good guys' we're too afraid to criticise. Sorry, but his salary is grotesque. Why the hell aren't people more outraged? bbc.com/news/articles/…

@jonsopel Remember what happened to Andrea Leadsom when she went down that road 🤞

What a truly revolting thing to say…..

Newly elected members of the French parliament refusing to shake hands with the far right is extremely satisfying. A particular shout out to the rock paper scissors gag.

Didn't like the way this @JDVance1 bloke (newly picked as #Trump's running mate) slagged off the UK lately. Looked into him. Not great. Made a parody song inspired by @ABBA called "Vance VP" 🎶 Shout out #americast (@BBCsarahsmith/@awzurcher) & @RestIsPolitics for ℹ️ profiles 👍
