For everyone considering whether to buy a cheap plastic Chinese EV or a Mercedes - buy the Chinese car. The plastic EV point flap fell off my Mercedes EQA+ and they want to charge me for their defective workmanship! So much for a premium brand! @MercedesBenz

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £136,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

First Dartmoor, now this 😡
Today’s ELM announcement looks to be the latest kick in the teeth for #AccessToNature
2.4bn of taxpayer money but public access has been kicked into the long grass again.
Whatever happened to 'public money for public goods' @defragovuk ⁉️

Surprised @goodwoodrevival next weekend is going ahead - seems somewhat inappropriate to hold it on the eve of the Queen’s funeral. (And rather tastefully the website reminds people to grab their last minute tickets) goodwood.com/motorsport/good…
UK Holidays are still not updating in Apple calendars on iPhones… yet Apple seem not to be interested despite having many thousands of customers here @Apple (luckily users have found workarounds - but that rather defeats the point of an iPhone!) discussions.apple.com/thread…

@virginmedia I’ve been in touch with your help team via phone and chat. I’m having your service installed on Saturday- with a new phone number. But it’s obviously a secret number because no one can tell me what it is! Can’t be this hard
Covid-19 cases in Chichester are thankfully reducing but still question why the vaccine roll out is so poor here. Others areas use race courses, cathedrals and theatres. All of which we have got! Got to ask why? @GillianKeegan chichester.co.uk/health/coro…
@itvmeridian @BBCSouthNews - instead of parroting the national news, you need to be chasing our MPs about why the vaccination centre coverage is so poor in the south
Beautiful irony: we joined the Common Market as the sick man of Europe and now we as we extinguish our ties to the EU we are sick yet again

Just spoke to a friend in Germany and people look with envy at Britain. Instead of Covid, Covid, Covid it’s far more varied and exciting. Brexit, port closures and whatnot else.
Brilliant news - congrats to our president and founder
Congratulations to club coach Phil Baker for winning the @EnglandAthletic award for services to athletics - so well deserved 💚💚💚
Fabulous news for our club - a positive story for a miserable year!
***BREAKING NEWS***

Breaking news: having a penis will protect you from disease and Covid-19. Those with a vagina will not be strong enough to a)run 5000m and b) fight corona at the same time
Please don't let men be the only ones able to run 5k @EnglandAthletic 🙈 its not our fault we aren't as quick as the men, please don't penalise us for running outside 15 minutes when the Olympic QT is 15:10, great that progress is being made but common sense please! 🙈
