Don't ever use Guest Reservations to book a hotel. On top of the headline price in bold lettering, before you know it they've added 20% for "tax recovery charges", whatever that means, & 40% "service fees ". 60% extra in all. Contemptuous capitalism at its very worst.

Here's the end-of-season list for the highest average attendances in English league football. For the third year running, The Arsenal are the only club with two teams on the list, with Arsenal Women gaining the most places compared to last year, followed by Coventry and Everton.

Please will BBC broadcasters stop saying: "Today is the hottest May day ever.". Today is not May day. Instead they should say "Today is the hottest day ever recorded in May."

In almost any other household, if a man suddenly parked a brand new £125,000 motorhome in the driveway - and acquired other new vehicles - his wife would ask where on earth he got the money from.

Nicola Sturgeon can't just run away. She says she had "no knowledge or suspicion" her husband was using SNP funds for "personal purposes". Where did she think the money came from then? Did she never ask? Any other spouse in the kindgom would surely have asked.
Hannah Brown@HannahMargBrown

Nicola Sturgeon says she was “deceived” and “let down” by her “former husband” Peter Murrell which has caused her “acute pain”, in a statement. She reiterates in her statement she had “no knowledge or suspicion” that he was using SNP funds for personal purposes.

Actually, I suspect you at GB News have decided the less air-time that Reform candidate Robert Kenyon gets then the better his chances.

@tomhfh Tosh. We once interviewed 13 candidates in one by-election in one day & edited it. Due weight is the story, not giving everyone the same length or proportions. Things don't have to be meticulously legalled & measured. You're being so defeatist. Get your lawyers to ring me.

It’s about capacity. We could technically carefully legal a bunch of videos and find representation from 5+ parties for each of them with due weight afforded etc but we simply don’t have the resources to. Suspect the same is true of most TV channels these days which will be your answer.

Are any TV journalists involved in making proper, regular films about this by-election? Every TV news outlet should be there full time. I've often criticised fellow journalists for exaggerating the importance of an election, but it's hard to think of a bigger by-election ever

@tomhfh The rules are no different from when I regularly covered big by-elections & had no difficulty making half decent films - many still on YouTube. I suspect your lawyers are too inexperienced. In any case GBNews takes the piss out of Ofcom rules all the time.

Almost impossible to do under current legislation. Absolute ofcom breach tinderbox. Lots of lawyer time required to deliver anything at all. Everything has to be pre rec to make sure all discussions give due weight to all candidates. Huge levels of resourcing required that don't really exist any more in live telly sadly.

Last summer, Angela Rayner was hosting a barbecue in her garden. An email invitation shows she wanted to thank her guests for their continued campaigning outside of election time. “Bring a bottle of your favourite bevvy and let’s have some fun in the sun!” it read...

@Winston_Smith80 Because nobody has disputed that the social media material is genuine. Consider the message not the messenger.

@MichaelLCrick Michael, why would read anything by an activist outfit, posing as a charity, that attacks and smears conservatives?

I urge people to read Hope Not Hate article, though they'll find it shocking - maybe the most astonishing sexual fantasy ever publicly described by a British politician. If Hope Not Hate have got it wrong, and it's a mistake or fake, then Kenyon & Reform should say so at once.
Michael Crick@MichaelLCrick

If this is all true, then Robert Kenyon, the Reform candidate in Makerfield, in clearly bonkers & deeply unpleasant, and it's no wonder he was Facebook friends with the self-declared fascist Gary Raikes. Reform's vetting processes seem about as effective as a chocolate teapot.

Presumably, Ian Katz, head of content at C4, was one of those involved in Married At First Sight. And the others in the responsibility chain?
