Absolutely terrible experience with @JustEatUK this evening. Ordered pizza from local restaurant 2.5 hours ago, still no sign of it. Restaurant said driver never turned up for it and had to throw order away. No way on the app to cancel, no way to actually speak to anyone. Awful!

Now I know how all the Calvin Kleins and Ted Bakers of the world must have felt for years. I do now have some lovely socks with my name on, so that's nice.

OK, I've avoided the hype so far, but I think it's time... #ItsComingHome

Putting politics to one side, I think more leaders need to be vocal about carving out protected time for families and role modelling work-life balance, that cascades down and creates healthy culture in teams. 24/7 'always on' mantra is incredibly toxic and needs to be stopped.

Really excited to see our team launch Timestamp, a brand new YouTube channel from @bbcstudios focused on all things history! Leading on this project was a dream, and the team have smashed it to bring the channel to life. Watch the trailer and subscribe: youtu.be/gDSSDAGO-10?si=fNKv…

All I want is some exciting football. Forward passes. Shots on target. Maybe some goals? #ENGSVN

Have to say @EdConwaySky and his graphs have been the shining star of this election so far for me. Brings real clarity at a time it is needed most, great journalism.

This is very interesting, especially considering the number of politicians (particularly, but not exclusively, on the right) who keep getting called out for inflammatory posts they have 'liked' on social media in the past. Wonder who called in that favour with Elon?

As a Manchester United fan I really wanted to get behind Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his new team, but the news that he's banned staff working from home and some of the apparent reasons make me think he may be exactly the kind of boss I would hate to work for, which is a shame.

Having to home school the 4 year old today as her school is a polling station. Who knew that was a thing? Today's tasks: Phonics, making salt dough mini beasts and teaching her the importance of going out to vote! #LocalElections 🗳️

So basically ITV just put Doctor Who and The Traitors into GenAI and it spat this promo out, right?

I'm looking to watch as many 'Christmas Special' episodes of TV programmes (ideally comedies) as I can before Christmas Day. Starting with a classic from the US Office. Recommendations very welcome!

So my GP doesn't do walk-ins, you phone and are told to book via the website, go on website and no appointments available, only options offered are to pay for private specialists. This is the privatisation of the NHS, happening in front of our eyes.
