We already have regional prices! Electricity standing charge from April varies from £185 to £277 a year & kWh f27p to 30p, gas 7.2p to 7.6p bit.ly/41zPkOH that is daft enough. The real problem is the dominance of the wholesale market all done for industry not consumers

Fujitsu told to pay up by Post Office campaigners over ‘ghastly fraud’. Fujitsu supplied flawed IT system, gave false evidence to the courts to convict innocent postmasters, landed public purse with £1.8bn compensation. It has faced no prosecution/fine. Still gets public contracts.

For two men who have professed such hostility towards taking the knee, they are surprisingly happy to do it for Putin, in the Oval Office, in full view of the world’s media.

In today's Russian papers: “Europe & the US are on opposite sides of the barricades…for us, the ‘divorce’ between the US and Europe is a political plus.” But warnings, too, against "naive optimism" over the thaw in US-Russian ties. #ReadingRussia

Happy #ThoughtfulThursday lovely phone family. We're on the homeward stretch... I've never been focused on a 'destination' for life, but my journey has had many ups and downs, so the company has been critical. Thank you to those who kept me company ❤️ Have a fabulous day 😘 #HaveCourageAndBeKind

Well, those photos of Oliver Cromwell are very valuable. They shouldn’t just be hanging on walls out in the open. Best to keep them under lock and key at the British Museum along other valuables such as Lord Byron’s Captain Video helmet.

Day 3 of the COLD FROM HELL - even I might be willing to try this 😂🤧 “One Night Cough Syrup” from the 1930s, which contained cannabis, morphine, chloroform & alcohol! In 1934, the FDA ruled that the claims of the cough syrup's therapeutic properties were misleading & remaining stock was destroyed.

Something like this is always worth a few seconds of people’s time to give it a share and hopefully it’s seen by those in need of a warm meal. Remember it’s really hard times for most now and this can really brighten someone’s day up 🙏💚

I think we are just not using the word ‘Dictator’ enough, or the title ‘Dictator Trump’. And Executive Orders should be called ‘Diktats’.

A timely reminder, if it were ever needed, that we must not allow those idiots over the ocean, and those fawning over them over here, to normalise anything fascist, including that salute we saw again from Bannon.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.
