Blimey, seems people don't even like the new Great British Rail trains draped in the colours of the flag. There is something seriously wrong with the culture in this country.

Inflation is beginning to hit harder. A simple trip to the local Coop store and prices have rocketed. Fresh soup is now not an option for a quick lunch with a 25% price hike. But it's not just the luxuries, price increases are everywhere across staples like milk and bread.

Short jail terms may not be effective, but, as any shop owner will tell you, it gives them a break from their prolific local shoplifters who make their lives miserable. Maybe try rehab and punishment? But this is about prison overcrowding not justice. share.google/bbB6psLGWjw317Uβ¦

I see what you did, BBC. And you wonder why people don't trust you.

Yes, thank you, 'Farouk'. You're an unsung hero. Certainly seems the intelligence services are fighting to stop the next attack with very little room for mistakes. We need to remember that when the bad thing happens. Yes, it does feel like 'when' not 'if'. news.sky.com/story/extremistβ¦

And I got suckered in again! Stupidly, I watched episode 4 of The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and, of course, it stops just at the point where it's about to kick off! Damn you!

And again. Another good episode of The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, but you barely get into it and it's over! I hope they don't do this for the second season.

Congratulations to the House of Lords for banning kids from using VPNs. That service which gave them at least some protection from data theft, malware and identity fraud when using public WiFi. Bloody great work there! π€¦ββοΈ

I'm enjoying #AKOTSK, but I feel like the season is going to end before Sir Dunk even gets to the tourney, because the episodes are so flippin' short.

Honestly, it would have been nice to get the first two episodes of The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Not a fan of these slow releases, and one 40-minute episode is barely enough to learn anything about Sir Dunk or Egg. Also, only six episodes? Not a lot of confidence there, @HBO.

Heard a story today about a Yr7 school girl who pretended to have a boyfriend to make a boy that she liked jealous. She even created AI videos of her fake boyfriend to show him off. Welcome to 2026 parenting folks! (Note: not my child, but no less terrifying.)

Question for Brits: if you're eating at a booth, when has it become acceptable for a stranger to walk up and sit down facing you without even a polite request to do so? To preempt the usual accusations, the place wasn't full either, lots of other tables. Is this normal now?

I have many thoughts about what this means and could easily play armchair politics, but saying that I am praying for a smooth and non-violent transition for the legitimate winners of the last Venezuelan election is more important than anything else I might feel to write.

The UK has long supported a transition of power in Venezuela. We regarded Maduro as an illegitimate President and we shed no tears about the end of his regime.
I reiterated my support for international law this morning. The UK government will discuss the evolving situation with US counterparts in the days ahead as we seek a safe and peaceful transition to a legitimate government that reflects the will of the Venezuelan people.

Has anyone else experienced problems getting refunds from Accor (@All) / @ibisHotels_FR? My company booked and paid for rooms at Paris Porte de Pantin, but they charged me again on arrival. It was a mistake on their part, but they say they can't refund to my credit card. 1/3

They asked me for my bank details but keep refusing to accept them. First they asked for RIB details, which is for French accounts only, then they refused my BIC and IBAN details as they aren't "official". I'm now having to wait 10 working days to get a bank reference letter. 1/3

It's been over a week already, simply because they can't refund the 183.92 euros they owe me to my credit card! There's no way I'm getting my money back before Christmas now. Terrible, terrible service.
