It's been ten years since we launched the Class Calculator; the most successful results phase of a @BBCLabUK project. I chat with @joesharpe, founder of @appliedworks on what made it an international digital hit.

@Churchill Thanks to MP @ranil and his team who advocated for his constituents & helped co-ordinate the fix. After 6 days, my parents could turn back on their heating (it was a simple fix). The CET engineer, AJ, was very helpful. @Churchill must prioritise vulnerable people & improve

@Churchill So it took 4 days for @Churchill to send out an engineer for supposedly an emergency heating repair. That engineer declined to do the fix because my elderly mother has covid, and marked the job 'complete', leaving them for another day without heating.

Hey @Churchill, please can you do something to help two eighty-year-old policy holders sitting in the cold with covid? My parents reported their central heating broke down on Saturday (10/12/22), but heard nothing until we escalated it as an emergency on Monday (12/12/22)

@Churchill We could not get in touch with the emergency team, to re-book an engineer who would come equipped with PPE, as per their policies. My dad never received a call-back, and I was on hold for over 2 hours.

It’s been -3C where they live and they have been without heating for 5 days. They now cannot get through to speak to anyone and are sitting with covid in a cold house. Is this the sort of emergency service you want to be known for @Churchill ?

@mina_um_so I know what you mean - I only just about managed to stick for the first 4 episodes. I was on a hair trigger to bin it. Some super baggy narrative but it did start to pick up. The last episode was actually pretty exciting. The script and acting are pants tho'

The Rings of Power is like Witcher if you removed all warmth, humour and charm and made it look like a PlayStation game (ironic, I know)

@bbctms @SaqMahmood25 @SaqMahmood25 is a superb bowler and won't be forgotten in a hurry. He's undoubtedly part of England's future and me and my cricket-watching mates can't wait to see him playing for the Three Lions again

It's been a long and painful summer for Saqib Mahmood... 😩 On the sidelines due to injury, he's visualised the feeling of taking wickets in order to keep himself motivated with his sights set on a return this winter! #BBCCricket

@clarered There's a round up of all the adverse reactions to vaccines & their prevalence here although there doesn't seem to be much mention of long-term effects - I suppose for the majority of people it hasn't been 12 months since the first dose gov.uk/government/pub…

Looking for expertise / studies on long term side effects of Covid vaccine - obvs these would be early stage but even just an immunologist to ask a Q of would be ace, it’s really, really hard to find anyone. No anti Vaxxers please. PLEASE RT

@Electrolux I wonder what Vanessa thinks about the recommendation @Electrolux have given me to throwaway a 10 year old oven because the heating element has failed? It's apparently obsolete & they can't help me replace! #throwawayculture is not sustainable! Where's the #circulareconomy
