@Keir_Starmer The survival of the small business that keeps me awake at night depends on the decisions you make this week. I might own it but I haven’t been paid for two months as we fight with an economy that is on its knees.

This is a landmark week for Britain. For the first time in 15 years, our Budget will put working people first. The truth is, the Tories left you to pay the price for their chaos. We will clear up their mess. Step up in tough times, not stand back. We will deliver change.

@MartinSLewis Upgrades … few and far between these days and will mostly be allocated based on loyalty status … if they sell upgrade at check in say no… they might be oversold and upgrade anyway!

TELL US: Do you/did you work for an airline or hotel? If so what are your insider tips to help people get people deals, bargains or even upgrades. Do let us know, tell us what your job (& if poss your firm) My pod producer will compile some to be read out. Do like your faves.

@MartinSLewis Make sure a breakfast inclusive price is really the best deal … will you even eat it? Often hotels will offer breakfast discounts on check in …

@MartinSLewis Also … it’s worth calling the hotel when you’ve found the Expedia price - they might do a discount to save the huge commission they have to pay … don’t ask, don’t get!

@MartinSLewis I’ve worked in hospitality for over 20 years. Best way to get any rate is to find the hotel you want in any booking engine (Expedia, booking dot com etc) and then book direct on the hotels own website. It’s where the best deals always are - esp. if you sign up to their loyalty.

@TLRailUK Nobody smoking now and smell has subsided a bit - we were due to leave LB at 1445 bit delayed. Rear declassified first class carriage

@chrislovesbtn Hi there. Could you confirm which scheduled service this is, which coach, and whether the people smoking are still on board please? ^Andy

Hi @TLRailUK just got on a train to Brighton at London Bridge and there’s been people smoking in the carriage. Absolutely stinks.

@jessphillips Well… you could make sure that the Conservative Party never get a day older…

Best doorstep request today so far is, "can you halt the aging process?"
