@BBV10s Never has the saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” been more appropriate!

Incredible how well this works 👏

@PaulMcG1992 European GP 2007 at the Nurburgring. Torrential rain at the start, Winkelhock leads on his debut and Alonso passing Massa for the lead right in front of where I was sitting. Great memories.

As the 2026 season starts this weekend, here's a question; which was the first Grand Prix that you watched and/or went to? #F1

@hele74 @MartinSLewis Pledge is not fixed. It is variable but will be slightly below the price cap.

@MartinSLewis Are either of these any good?

Important: If you can get off the Energy Price Cap right now, you should & urgently! - The wholesale gas rate is spiking due to the Iran conflict, and it is a prime driver or UK elec prices. If that's sustained (big if), it will likely push the Price Cap rate up from July - Some of the cheap fixes from before the weekend haven't (yet) been pulled, so you can still lock in a rate at around 14% less than the current Price Cap, both saving you money and giving peace of mind that the rate can't rise. You can do a whole-of-market comparison via cheapenergyclub.com - However, many firms are reassessing their fix prices today and may reprice their deals upward. There's a risk many of the current cheapest fixes will be gone by this time tomorrow - Plus, fix now, and unprecedentedly the rate you lock in at will be reduced on 1 April. This is because govt is changing the underlying way energy bills work and moving some policy costs to general taxation. That reduces the elec & gas unit rates even for those already on fixes. So even if you fix now the amount you pay will drop by 7% to 9% on typical usage on 1 April - Fixes are available for most payment methods except prepay. Those on smart prepay can look at the EDF Simply Tracker tariff, which is effectively a price cap tariff with £100 lower Standing Charges (and £70 extra cashback on top via the link above) PS How to know if you're on a Price Cap? The Price Cap only applies to firms' Standard Variable tariffs. It's the default tariff you're on if you haven't chosen another deal, or your deal (eg a fix) ended and you did nothing. If you're fixed, on an EV tariff, a time of use tariff, or other specialist tariff, you are not on the Price Cap.

@christiancalgie @TheRestHistory “I - ran” - superb. Gets me every time.

@TheRestHistory Hysterical. Not just TRIH but the greatest impression of all time.

What was Jimmy Carter doing in the Supreme Court last week?

Perfect 😂

@KerimSalih @80s90sfootball Good effort for keeping the match ticket and programme after all this time!

@jpjones8 @80s90sfootball Just so you know I wasn’t bullshitting! 😉

#OnThisDay in 1995 Leeds United signed Tony Yeboah from Eintracht Frankfurt for £3.4m & soon became a cult hero

@jonsopel I really hope the UK Government grows a spine over this.

So just to be clear - Britain and other EU countries being hit with additional tariffs for not supporting the illegal annexation of Danish sovereign territory. Extraordinary

@Itwitius Doesn’t bode well for Cuba, given it is heavily reliant on Venezuela for its oil.

Actually Trump's ramblings about the Monroe Doctrine are v imp. 1823 President Monroe + Roosevelt in 1904 say only US can operate in Latin America - big powers keep out. That's part of subtext of today #venezuala

@glennfreeman39 Amazing! (Double checks it is not 1st April!)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can’t believe this is real 🤯🤯🤯🤯

@an0n_Nic If only we had done an Austria and issued 100 year bonds at those ultra low rates.

Austerity. Not borrowing at 0.25% and investing in infrastructure was one of the stupidest decisions ever. We are paying the price every day.

@FT Emperors New Clothes vibes to that request!

Reeves asks banks to praise her plans as they escape Budget tax raid on.ft.com/4paP55O

@faisalislam Peter Kyle said earlier today that Labour inherited a “growth emergency”. I thought the priority was growth?

NEW Chancellor has been addressing Labour MPs tonight “The Budget on Wednesday will be about three priorities: cutting the cost of living, cutting NHS waiting lists and cutting the cost of debt. Says she is “determined to bring that debt down and to bring that borrowing down so instead of spending £100 billion on debt servicing costs, we can spend that money on our key public services.”

The impending smorgasbord budget will simply increase complexity, fail to raise enough money, and will simply mean the question of future income tax rises will not go away. It will just further heighten economic uncertainty.

@glennfreeman39 Yes, I totally agree! The incremental ‘improvements’ are really not worth the annual cost for either the consumer nor the developers. That said, with the F1 game, ideally they would skipped 2025 and timed the new game to coincide the new rules for 2026.

Huge F1 game news today with there being no F1 26 title. I think this has to be the future of a lot of official sports games - the steps between titles are so small now that annual releases are barely worth it. I'd *buy* more sports games if they had a longer shelf life.

@retrofootballnw This one for me!

Before YouTube, DVD & streaming, there was VHS. What was the best football VHS tape of the 80s or 90s? I have a chapter on this in my book, "The Retro Football Collection." ⬇️ Available here: amzn.to/47M60W8

@PippaCrerar Quite incredible if true. I am naturally supportive of a Labour government but my word they have botched this. The constant kite flying, the press conference just last week, and now potential u-turns just looks like incompetence.

💥Extraordinary report from FT tonight Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have “ripped up” earlier proposals to raise basic and higher income tax rates, amid fears move would anger voters & further antagonise mutinous Labour MPs. ft.com/content/6cbb46…

@PolitlcsUK youtu.be/RA1VTG3Z23U?si…

🚨 NEW: No 10 says the inquiry Keir Starmer launched to find the adviser who briefed that Wes Streeting was plotting against him is now over "He has been assured that no No 10 staff briefed against Ministers"

@ReturnsJourney The issue I have with Diageo is that it grew significantly through acquisition at a time when you couldn’t move for some A-list celeb releasing a new brand of tequila or gin. The spirits market was bubbly and the world has moved on from 2016-2021

Diageo, a quality stock, is it finally cheap enough? 13 Forward P/E
