Good job I checked my credit card statement! #Santander charged almost £35 more than car insurance quote I accepted. Rang them. Said glitch on system and refund to original payment soon. Couldn't tell me what had caused the glitch or how widespread it is? @MartinSLewis

Always quite liked @YvetteCooperMP but don't think I'd be too enamoured with her Iran statements if I was still around our Armed Forces! Where's @EmilyThornberry when she's needed?!!! @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet

Who watched #DirtyBusiness @Channel4? @thameswater @SouthWestWater @EnvAgency have a lot to answer for! SHOCKING. Time for public ownership from arrogant #fatcats who simply don't give a s**t! Literally! @Keir_Starmer @EmmaforWycombe @EmmaHardyMP @BBCWiltshire @alexlovelltv

My guilty retirement pleasure is watching @BBCBargainHunt, BUT, as I've said before, where are the NEW episodes?! So bored watching repeated and being reminded of "Covid years" episodes😡And chaptors rehashed as specials masquerading as new! Do better with my licence fee #bbc

I swopped from a lifetime of #BBCRadio to #TimesRadio because I prefer it. But I do get fed up with @StigAbell bashing the #BBC at any opportunity. #sakes @TimesRadio

#KingCharles is the statutory Head of our Armed Forces. The Commander In Chief. He should not be going on a state visit to #USA unless @POTUS @realDonaldTrump apologises for the offence and distress caused by his ignorant words. @Keir_Starmer @RoyalFamily @KensingtonRoyal 🇬🇧

Seems the "makers" of @BBCBargainHunt don't take audience comments seriously (the Presenters do) but as a viewer who enjoys the programme I'm seriously fed up of rehashed OLD programmes pretending to be "new" episodes. Lots of genuine new episodes needed. @BBC1 @bbcpress #BBC

When you get it so wrong it takes a real man to aplogise @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @JDVance @FLOTUS Having seen our dead repatriated to #RoyalWoottonBassett after fighting on the "front line" your comments are diabolical! Allies answered after 9/11 when #USA triggered Article 5🇬🇧

Tuned in to hear #Zelensky speech at Davos on @BBCNews Channel. Surprised to see frivolous Oscar nominations displayed alongside him! 😡Very disrespectful. Much rather have had a rolling synopsis of his speech. Who cares about "luvvies" when brave people dieing in #Ukraine?🇺🇦🇬🇧

“He wants to own what he cannot tame.” 🟥 WOW... 🇬🇱🇩🇰 The lyrics of this new “Greenland Defense Front” video. 👌🏼 Just - WOW. ‘Epic’ doesn’t even begin to describe it.
