@TNLUK The new website is awful. I can't see any of my upcoming direct debit tickets for this week's draws, are they there? Also why isn't there an option to view tickets by draw date?

🗞️ Good news 🗞️ Our new look app and website are now live, thank you for your patience.

@CeliaRichards0n I notice you have Nether Wallop but what about Over Wallop? Always made my non-Hampshire friends snigger when we drove through.

New National Trust map of strange place names. Very shocked to find there’s a Great Bottom Flash. That’s Hampshire for you.

@DrJaninaRamirez Me. Absolutely me.

I’m exploring the idea of a reverse hibernation for Goths, paled skinned Brits, red-heads, and just anyone who hates this heat and is currently melting in the UK. It will involve spending summer in a freezer. Who’s with me?

@AndyGJBurge @BBCiPlayer @bbcglasto @Keir_Starmer @RupertLowe10 That's a very polite way of putting it - I'm not sure his ex=bandmates would say it in quite the same way. The BBC will keep trying, but I suspect that they did really well to get the live set.

@AndyGJBurge @BBCiPlayer @bbcglasto @Keir_Starmer @RupertLowe10 Sadly, being that annoying person, it looks like he hasn't granted them IPlayer rights. I'm assuming that they are still discussing it. bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/ar…

@WillNewton38457 @BBCNewsPR Sorry meant to add, that, as the Israeli government won't let journalists into Gaza, all UK news organisations have to rely on reliable eyewitnesses from inside Gaza for reports & the BBC reporting from inside Gaza on this was the same as Sky, C4, ITN etc.

@WillNewton38457 @BBCNewsPR And several news organsations, including Channel 4 News and Sky dispute the Israeli denials, its towards the bottom of this report. news.sky.com/story/chaos-co…

@BBCNewsPR What’s true is that you reported what Hamas said quickly without fact-checking or independently verifying their claims. That included push notifications. When Israel denied the claims, there was no such rush or desire for you to make that clear.

@Frances_Coppola Its this bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

@Frances_Coppola No.

@Frances_Coppola Its a single camera shoot with Louis there all the time, only one filming credit to the director.

@patyale @carolecadwalla I withdrew my support as soon as I realised that the Scott Trust were also 'paying' Tortoise £5 million to take The Observer off their hands & how little they care about the journalists that make the Guardian what it is.

@carolecadwalla Still astounded at how we the supporting readers were never consulted about any of this (but then the journos who worked for Guardian weren't either, I think). Still toying with withdrawing my support. Trouble is where else do we get even vaguely left-of-centre news?

So…here it is. The new look Observer. And here - unbelievably- is the paper’s HOT new signing: Facebook’s very own NICK CLEGG!!! The man who laundered Mark Zuckerberg’s reputation is now being reputation laundered by the paper which broke Faceboon’s biggest scandal.

@1Jeremyadams @JoshHereAtLast @JessicaLArnold As you know, the residents, just the other side of the train/tram tracks, of Blandford Road would also overwhelmingly really like Bromley to give us a 20mph limit too.

We asked residents on Mackenzie Road if they want to keep the 20mph limit and one-way system, after a suggestion from Bromley's councillor in charge of transport to ditch these measures. Residents overwhelmingly want to keep things the same. @JoshHereAtLast @JessicaLArnold

@TycjanC @civetta @JackieDobbyne @thatkirstylang @sue_panter @BBCSounds At the moment Sounds is not geoblocked, so anyone in the world can listen there, but it is going to change. For TV there is something called SER where in certain European countries some services are authorised to carry the BBC & there are payments made to everyone for this use.

@riverwillow8 @civetta @JackieDobbyne @thatkirstylang @sue_panter @BBCSounds I’m wondering how it works in Spain, where all the Brits seem to watch terrestrial UK TV & listen to the radio. Do the companies there pay a fee to the BBC?

I’ve just discovered that very soon I will no longer be able to listen to @BBCSounds when I’m outside the UK. This is devastating for all our overseas listeners

@civetta @JackieDobbyne @thatkirstylang @sue_panter @BBCSounds The presenter & any audio from any football match including commentary will have been cleared for broadcast in the UK & ROI only, so if they fed this to Spain there would be additional payments. BBC did look into this but not enough people overseas wanted to pay for the service.

@riverwillow8 @JackieDobbyne @thatkirstylang @sue_panter @BBCSounds What are the rights issues involved in e.g. letting my cousin in Spain continue to listen to a local radio football phone in?

@KateOnTheEdge @JackieDobbyne @thatkirstylang @sue_panter @BBCSounds I don't know where you lived overseas, as I appreciate that its not available everywhere, but that's what Britbox is for, as the best of UK TV. I appreciate radio/audio is different, but the stuff that travels does go onto sites like Audible.

@riverwillow8 @JackieDobbyne @thatkirstylang @sue_panter @BBCSounds This is interesting and I’d never considered this. However - as someone who has lived and worked abroad for a while - I know that I would have gladly paid a commercial rate to access BBC programmes and broadcasts more easily.

@JackieDobbyne @thatkirstylang @sue_panter @BBCSounds But before you shout they do share in any profits that producers receive from selling their programmes overseas. But we need to get their first.

@JackieDobbyne @thatkirstylang @sue_panter @BBCSounds Also producers are increasingly underwriting the costs of production so need to be able to sell their programming to cover these costs. None of the UK PSBs or their counterparts overseas have Netflix or Amazon style budgets to be able to acquire worldwide rights.

@RebeccaCait04 @KyleLabour2112 Look at the language they've used, implying that everyone on benefits needs to be 'encouraged back to work' by cutting their benefits, ie. they are lazy & expect to be kept by the state. Which is papably not true. Also no one under 22 is sick or disabled? Its awful.

@riverwillow8 @KyleLabour2112 they weren't demonised
