@GNRailUK @LKBU__ You've linked this very thread as an example of where to find reasons for tonight's GN service failures - how about providing some? 🤦

@LKBU__ Of course, specific to Great Northern is - x.com/GNRailUK/statu…, however the impact is heavily compounded by the other incidents on the network found here - x.com/TLRailUK/statu… ^Scottie

⚠️Southern, Thameslink, Gatwick Express and Great Northern services are heavily disrupted this evening 🕓You may reach your destination at least 40 minutes later than planned, so carefully check your journey and connections before you travel 📢The following Great Northern services changes are in place, in both directions: 🚫King's Cross to Kings Lynn service are currently reduced 🚌A limited rail replacement service is in place to help you reach your destination

@tomhfh You're right! Why haven't the Police checked his leave request to see if the "Reason for time off" box gives them any clues? 🤦🤦🤦

Did he take the day off work to make this journey or were my taxes once again paying for someone’s idleness?

@SimonHarrisMBD "Takes off rubber gloves after reading Tweet..."

You don’t become an expert in serious crime investigations after watching one episode of 24 Hours In Police Custody for the same reason that you don’t become an expert in midwifery after watching one episode of One Born Every Minute.

@MrTibblesNewEra @IsabelOakeshott But the target audience of her tweet are busy scouring Google Earth for scoundrels and reprobates. 😀

Let them do their job. The last thing they need is you (who couldn't spot a criminal with their cock in you) going all Miss Marple. @IsabelOakeshott

@wolfkingvi @Matt_Pinner Don't forget Ind Coope Long Life as well

@alistrathern I've pointed out to @AffinityWater that their website still says that the forthcoming hosepipe ban is "with immediate effect" (under the FAQs) but that the legal notice says the 17th July. Please prod them as they're ignoring me!

@AffinityWater @WestStand133 That page still says the ban is "with immediate effect" but the legal notice says the 17th July.

@WestStand133 We're asking customers to use water wisely and stop using their hosepipes so we can protect water supplies for everyone. Please visit here for more information- affinitywater.co.uk/hosepipeban. - Becky :) 3/3

@AffinityWater @AffinityWater nah sorry but you can do one. Last winter was exceptionally wet ranking in the top 10 wettest in the UK since records began. I’ll be using my hosepipe as and when. In the meantime, you should fix the leaks and invest in the infrastructure.

@keithapearson I registered my own domain almost exactly 28 years ago so I didn't need to use ISP or email provider addresses. Just renewed again for another year...

How old is your oldest email address? I have a Hotmail account that's coming up on 25 years old. And does anyone still use a Yahoo, BT Internet, or AOL email?

@AffinityWater I see that the legal notice says the 17th July and not with immediate effect as stated on your website. Lying on your website is not a good look 🤦

If it is from now and not, as your email says, from the 17th July, how are you notifying customers that don't have access to a computer?

@AffinityWater Excellent clear messaging - not Here's the email sent to customers earlier today

@AffinityWater So does the ban start today or next week? 🤦

@SaveWimbldnPark HMRC are also reeling at the loss of declared income from Wimbledon residents as well...

For years, Wimbledon homeowners helped house the hundreds of line judges who travelled to SW19 for the Championships. This year, with electronic line calling replacing them, many local residents have lost that annual rental income. Another reminder that every decision has an impact on the local community. A world-class tournament should strengthen its neighbourhood not gradually take opportunities away from it. talker.news/2026/07/02/why… #Wimbledon #Wimbledon2026 #SaveWimbledonPark

@Nigel_Farage The irony of a by-election, called on the back of alleged issues with donations, behind paid for by donations is not lost on this reader.

I have spoken to the CEO of Tendring District Council. Reform has offered to cover the cost of the by-election. I will be writing to Rachel Reeves later today with the same message. Given that we asked for this by-election in the first place, it’s only right that we pay for it.

@Stephenmoogles Things that never happened. Post Delivery Executives don't ring doorbells 😃

Awful. I've just been 'hounded' at my door by the Royal Mail. Banging away, ringing the bell. This is NOT acceptable...

@BBCBreaking @BBCPolitics He's resigned to take up the role of President of FIFA

Nigel Farage resigns as MP for Clacton after finance row, triggering by-election he says he will stand in bbc.in/4boAMFV

@ItsJamesHall Prince's Boy in the 2:30pm at Goodwood

My mum has £15k ready to invest. She wants to double it over the next two years. Who would you back?

@Monkeyiobe @stuey_beef Say you don't understand the difference between relative and absolute without saying you don't know the difference between relative and absolute... 🤦

The 0.48% annual charge replacing stamp duty and council tax isn't new money.... it's the same bill restructured. The Monkey in a £300k semi currently paying Band D council tax set on a 1991 valuation has been quietly undertaxed on his actual asset for three decades. The Gorilla didn't just discover his home. It always knew it was there. 🍌

Burnham’s land tax is basically a mansion tax for people who don’t live in mansions. In the South, millions of ordinary families sitting in 3-bed semis bought decades ago would suddenly be treated like asset-rich oligarchs, taxed every year on notional land values they can’t spend. Retired couples on fixed incomes, mortgage prisoners, key workers clinging on in high-cost areas – all recast as “under‑taxed” landowners to be squeezed for an extra thousand pounds a year. This isn’t about fairness, it’s about a state that looks at your home and sees a cash machine, then blames you for living in the wrong postcode. Reply with your area and rough house value – could you actually afford a 1% annual land charge on top of everything else?
