@sw_train been waiting at Clapham junction for 30 minutes. No train, no announcement, nothing. Absolute shambles.

@BritishTennisUp @the_LTA Absolute nonsense. Jack played fine. It was all about Opelka today.

@BenKentish @RachelReevesMP Just think how many of our best doctors are going to go and live abroad to avoid paying back their loans. Those left behind end up paying for a graduate who ups sticks and leaves.

Hi again @RachelReevesMP - I got this today from a young doctor from a low-income family. She can’t afford to buy a house because, while she’s paying back £2,560 in student loan repayments a year, you’re charging her interest at a rate of £7,800 a year. Which part of this is “fair”?

@sophielouisecc It's not about whether you should pay for your degree. It's about paying obscene rates of interest on your loan. And this is going to hurt UK PLC. Graduates are moving abroad to avoid the 69% marginal tax rate leaving others to effectively pay for their education.

Rachel Reeves has been arguing that only graduates should pay for their degrees Which is fair - but only if we apply that logic to everything else. Why should I - someone with no children, have to pay for other people’s children. Surely this is the same logic.

@JamesMelville Our GDP has declined by 6% as a result of Brexit. I bet this wasn’t mentioned in the article.

@OliDugmore Well said. The principle of student loans isn't the problem, it is the outrageous interest rates that are being applied.

“Low tax” conservatives would scream bloody murder if I suggested raising the top rate of tax by 9% Perfectly happy to whack grads with it for 40 years, though, and scratch their chins about the birth rate

@MailSport What a thoroughly unpleasant comment, from a journalist working for a thoroughly unpleasant newspaper. Why don't you do your job properly and focus on the corruption and rule breaking from "elite" clubs and administrators?

I feel for Crystal Palace as they're picked apart but here's why I have zero sympathy for 'let-them-eat-cake' Steve Parish. The poster boy for inequality should've been careful what he wished for, writes OLIVER HOLT trib.al/p8V4IlT

I am not a Labour voter but what Trump says about Sadiq Khan is rubbish. He keeps pushing the line that London is broken and that Khan is to blame. I live here. I do not just stick to the west of the city where I live, I move around and see it as a whole. London is alive, busy, and brilliant. It is nothing like the picture painted by Trump or the right. Trump is not confused, he knows what he is doing. He plays up division because it suits him. The truth is that London’s strength comes from the mix of people who call it home. Different cultures, faiths, beliefs and backgrounds all live side by side. That is what makes the city powerful and wonderful, and why I think it is the best city in the world. And whilst I do not vote for Sadiq in London, I believe he is a decent man, a man of principle, and that counts for far more than the sneering right who shout down any good he does for their own political gain.

Daily Mail say today we need Farage and Reform to save the country. A reminder of the role the Mail played in getting us into this mess.

So, @SW-Help, you cancel the penultimate train from Portsmouth to London this evening because of “staff shortages” and then the last train is a three-hour rail replacement service arriving at 2am. I’m assuming you will be reimbursing my uber fare.

@lucylocket1700 Jesus wept. You think he's gone away and analysed UK energy costs and the viability of North Sea oil exploration? You do realise that a) it would take several years to exploit any oil that is available and b) the oil would be sold on international markets at international prices.

@DrEliDavid Measuring the origin of emissions is misleading. The west has outsourced a huge amount of manfacturing to China. The emissions are a function of what we consume.

Thank you Germany 🇩🇪 and UK 🇬🇧 for heroically sacrificing your economy to save the planet 💪 _

@realsb4feelings I take ferries between Britain and France regularly and I can assure you that this is absolutely not happening. Absolute nonsense.

If you ever get a late night ferry from France You'd see that the dinghies are a distraction They are shipping in 1000s through the front door

@Nigel_Farage What @Nigel_Farage is most upset about is that the British and French government are working together to find a political solution. He has no answers - he just wants to exploit the situation for his own benefit.

This agreement is a humiliation for Brexit Britain. We have acted today as an EU member and bowed down to an arrogant French President.

@JamesCleverly It's not meant for people like you. Stop weaponising and help sort out your Party.

Glastonbury is becoming more hate filled every year. It’s sad to see.

Top two British men playing @QueensTennis in a half empty stadium. What a disgrace - corporates denying genuine fans the chance to see Jack Draper.

@stevejarrett @orange Thanks for the briefing with Laurent, really interesting.

Very proud of the work we do @orange on Responsible AI which also drives real business value for the company, totaling over €200M last year and with a target of €300M in 2025. If you’re in Barcelona, see more of our great work at #MWC2025

@ShadowbannedRep @AmbJohnBolton Did it matter when Germany invaded Poland in 1939?

@AmbJohnBolton Someone please explain to me why Ukraine matters so much. Please!

It is a huge embarrassment that Trump has effectively switched sides in the Russo-Ukraine war, joining Russia. The U.S. has aligned itself not with our allies in NATO, but with the longstanding, principal threat to NATO: Moscow.  It's unthinkable that an American president would do this.

@Nigel_Farage The one big idea that you had was to leave the EU and that has turned out to be a complete disaster. You have zero credibility.

Reform UK will win the next general election and save our country too.
