@PolitlcsUK Nearly £3T in debt, country a complete shambles but this is important…

@AvonandsomerRob As our electricity prices are indexed to wholesale gas prices and we import a lot of our gas from places like Qatar, they will also increase. Therefore EV costs will also increase.

@LeeHurstComic That’s not a bad idea. Most of the problems referred to in comments have already been solved on off-shore oil installations

@uncreativetom If you carried the rail link on to Luton and Stanstead, you could have all 4 airports operating like one large airport. Park at the one closest to you and use the train to get to the airport you need. I think it would utilise the capacity we have and reduce traffic on the M25.

@PolitlcsUK @theipaper Are they just throwing names out to see who is the least unacceptable?

@ClarksonsFarm1 Respect

@Ye_Olde_Holborn I had one of those recently as a hire car. Damn thing buzzes and beeps at you all the time to the point where it’s more distraction than use.

Across the big issues, this country is in a better place than when I inherited it two years ago.

@GWRHelp If, as a company, you spent a little more on maintenance, I think you’d spend less on compensation and have happier customers and less stressed staff.

When we are asked to use public transport when we can, why is it so terrible? I had an otherwise good weekend away spoiled by it. Thursday, @AvantiWestCoast train to Manchester, late and no AC in 30degC heat. Friday, Poor AC at @manairport. cont—>

@KirstieMAllsopp People are afraid of death, even the word, to the point where they are afraid to live

@RossKempsell @GuidoFawkes Surely this will just breed more resentment towards the BBC and people will just block them

@lembitopik He couldn’t be trusted in any job, so no.

@MartinSLewis Can’t be any worse than some of the Ubers I’ve had recently

@markchristie It’s causing too many drivers to watch the speedo more than the road.

@hjwakerley Will be interesting to see what Mansory do with a Luce

@sophielouisecc @LOVillaJavea It’s a good job they don’t run a brewery….

@bphillipsonMP The only thing you have delivered is misery to millions of decent, hard working, law abiding people. Just go.

@Keir_Starmer You are so out of touch with the reality of most people’s daily lives, you don’t even know what the issues are. If you are told, you deny them because most of the issues are caused by you and the clown government you claim to lead. Just go.
