I know me and other hacks have bitched about this before but PRs, PLEASE PUT PHONE NUMBERS ON EMAILS AND RELEASES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Giving an email address as the sole method of contact is •UNACCEPTABLE•.

First rule of media training: always always ALWAYS make sure the mic is off and the camera has stopped recording before saying ANYTHING. My 6-year-old stepkids know this.

A quick pr tip to those sending comments lamenting the lack of announcements on the housing market. Someone with joined up thinking may want to look at how the reduction in childcare costs can help with mortgage applications and maybe boost transactions!? #BudgetDay2023

A reminder that stamp duty cuts/holidays by Sunak only served to cause an artificial bounce in house prices - which frequently meant people overpaid for properties by more than the amount of stamp duty they actually saved...

Anyone out there who moved home so they could grow their own food - whether it is an allotment or just a bigger garden with room for a veg patch? We would love to hear from you @melyork @TimesProperty

If you are not follow Jim's tweets from inside the Wagatha Christie courtroom, you are missing a treat.
Replying to @jimwaterson
Vardy is now being asked whether she respects other people's privacy. She says she does. The court is now hearing quotes from an interview she once gave about having sex with Peter Andre: "Peter's hung like a small chipolata... the smallest trouser equipment I've ever seen."

Still blows my mind when I find a housing association with over 10,000 homes doesn't have an easily accessible press contact number or email. I mean what do they do if there is a crisis....

Interesting to read in @EAToday that 98% of consumers think upfront information is a good idea (@CAtradebody research) – we strongly believe it’s better for all if upfront information is shared with all parties at the outset of the property sales process estateagenttoday.co.uk/break…
Netflix is gutted that people are cancelling subscriptions, but I just think it’s wonderful that all those first-time buyers are finally saving for a house

In England, from 24 March staff will no longer be entitled to statutory sick pay for self-isolation, unless they are not well. I am looking to speak to employers about how they're tackling these upcoming changes. #journorequest #SMEs

Great to see the government pushing for specific property information to be included on all property listings - estateagenttoday.co.uk/break… - it's essential to the functioning of the market to have as much info as possible upfront @EAToday #propertymarket
