@TomCotterillX @GazTheJourno If every RAF base needs a T45 to defend itself from airborne attack then something has gone badly wrong with the distribution of responsibility across our services!

Is this one of the biggest humiliations for the Royal Navy? No ships in the Middle East to protect RAF Akrotiri when it needed it, the French stepping up with warships first - and now, finally, the PM agrees to send HMS Dragon after days of dithering. telegraph.co.uk/gift/adacc6784…

@GergelyOrosz It's so bad on iOS, even worse on Android

I'm truly amazed at how, in 2025, the British Airways app feels like it's built by amateurs It's so obvious that it is web views + no designer ever looked at it or approved it. Everything is wrong with the app feel, and it feels like those 2008 mobile apps built by hobbyists

@chilternrailway Train service was excellent yesterday despite the engineering work elsewhere. A big thanks to the train crews working hard over the Christmas period.

There are changes to train services over the entire Christmas and New Year Period. Please plan ahead and visit chilternrailways.co.uk/christmas2025 for more detailed information.

@nedboulting Great news, looking forward to it. I expect daily, detailed regional info ala 1923!

@thinkdefence Exactly. Is it really worth supporting a different F35 variant for 12 aircraft? Surely volumes would need to be way bigger to make it worth having two types.

I would make a simple observation on UK weapons integration for F-35A, nothing will be cheap. So whilst the sticker price of an A compared to a B might be a little lower, the optional extras list is expensive and could erode that difference to nothing

@2805662 Great photos, I'm planning to go to Yokohama on Monday to see her (and the Cup Noodle museum ofc!).

Had the opportunity to visit the warship Mikasa on Monday. As the last surviving pre-Dreadnought, & as Admiral Tōgō’s flagship at the decisive Battle of Tsushima, its an incredibly interesting ship. To comply with Treaty obligations, the ship was encased in concrete in 1922. 1/

@ESPNMadison @MarkTauscher65 @WildeAndTausch So after your year at the Jets in 2040, where do you see yourself moving to?

What do you think @MarkTauscher65 and Jordan Love were talking about? Wrong answers only 🤣 #GoPackGo | @WildeAndTausch

@RugbyInsideLine @Oval_Insights Evans and Kenningham is a great double act / bromance but do Quins suffer from having two such similar flankers?

🥷 The Jackal Kings. Turn your back for a heartbeat at The Stoop and Evans has pickpocketed you. His wingman Kenningham makes it a Quins double act. Third on the list? Gordon again. When Newcastle look good, it’s usually something to do with him. Powered by @Oval_Insights

@pinstripedline Had apparently drowned in NYC harbour and his body wasn’t found until after the boat had departed. s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/awm-media/coll…

Currently on leave in USA. Came across this unusual CWGC grave in Brooklyn, for an Australian who died in WW1, a very long way from home.

@JohnRentoul Aren't perceptions of inequality more relevant to voting intentions than actual inequality? Not sure if there's any data on that.

Inequality has not been rising in the UK – new figs from ONS today ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati…

No, I don’t think the rise of Reform is driven by “rising inequalities”. My Q&A independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

@tomwarren Does UK count as Europe for this?

Google is killing software support for early Nest Thermostats. It's also pulling Nest thermostats out of Europe entirely, citing “unique” heating requirements theverge.com/news/656332/go…

@karunchandhok Thank you. My son really enjoyed getting to talk to you afterwards. He’s looking forward to reading the book!

A fun first day on the school book tour! Great enthusiasm and engagement from the kids out there… Get your copy here : geni.us/DriveToVictory

@SoVeryBritish I thought it was bins tomorrow!

The post-Christmas recycling bin has just been collected. I feel so light and free.

@harlequinspod Better than that

@nedboulting Just started my copy sitting on a beach on the Atlantic coast just south of La Rochelle. It's a great story @nedboulting

@chilternrailway Thanks but they don’t seem to read as quickly as the tube gates. We also have lots of those two way gates which get stuck for 3 seconds deciding which way to open.
