I felt a bit of a fraud last night, surrounded by journalists who risk their lives in war zones. I wrote about bananas in a Coventry warehouse. But. many thanks to @FPALondon judges for giving me the Economics story of the year. A genuine honour.#FPAawards23

Saturday & Sunday 1pm - 4pm I’m back presenting @TimesRadio. We’ll be covering immigration & whether the UK is a soft touch for workers, Trump losing some of his Maga supporters (possibly), Titanic as entertainment, sport in heatwaves. And much more!.Do tune in!

On the London Overground. I’ve just asked a young guy playing loud music out of his phone to turn his music down. He asked stroppily why he should. I said because it was uncivilised. He then turned it off and said “yeah, that’s fair”. I HAVE NEVER FELT SO ALIVE.

M&S are selling “bum enhancing shorts”. How long before they start offering a full blown Victorian bustle!

Great comment under my @thetimes column from former & current @sainsburys employee. How things change in one generation!

A mere 36% of Brits take a lunch break every weekday. It’s time to bring back a proper midday pause. This week’s @thetimes biz column:.

Another @PrivateEyeNews Street of Shame appearance! Which shall be proudly framed in the downside loo alongside the others…🍺👀.(Tho’ true ‘Spoons aficionados know Au Vodka is far better value)

Interviewing tennis players from 5 metres away was adopted by BBC during Covid. Why is it still a thing? Genuine question. Does it help with camera angles? Or are players germaphobes?

Nvidia – a single US company – is worth more than the 551 companies listed on the UK FTSE AllShare.

But…new @pret big salads are all over £10. This miso salmon is £12.95. It’s v tasty (great orange & miso dressing). But that’s a high price when Waitrose offer a £5 meal deal. Will Pret customers be prepared to pay +£10 for big, good salad?

THE RISE OF BIG PROTEIN.@Pret is launching big “super plates” (large salads). Because lots of gym bros say existing ones don’t fill them up. This is chipotle chicken. It has 49g of protein – compared to current highest protein item at Pret: chicken & greens protein bowl (30g).

I tried out lots of wearables – from a cheapo £35 Decathlon watch to a £499 Samsung Galaxy Watch and Oura ring – to see how bad they were at measuring calories. In short, they’re pretty terrible. [thanks to @mvmetrics for the lab testing].

The highest *ever* 2nd innings run chase in a test match is 418. England chasing 600+ and have already lost a wicket. And yet…@Ladbrokes offering odds of 20/1. Eh? The odds should be 200/1.

But when will live petrol prices in a satnav happen? And have we got it all wrong when it comes to motorways? Should we adopt the French model of stopping for reasons other than cheap petrol. ?.This week's @thetimes biz column: .

⛽Are petrol stations ripping us off? The @CMAgovUK ruled that they were 2yrs ago. Or rather they said retailers had inflated their margins by £900m. So what's happened since then? Yes, you've guessed it. Nothing. The solution? Live prices on our sat navs. 🧵

Up early? I’ll be discussing how Oasis will be adding £1bn+ to the UK economy thanks to their reunion tour. And all those @adidasUK £40 bucket hats.Just before 6am Friday with @FelicityHannah on @bbc5live

Genuine question. What's Kwasi Kwarteng up to nowadays. Apart from being a guest on podcasts? Is he sitting on any boards/acting as an advisor?.His LinkedIn says he is still an MP, which is not correct!.
