I had a good experience, but I did go first thing. I accepted having limited time to look at it as the price you pay for hundreds of thousands of other people wanting to see it too. The corporate event, though, stopping people with tickets entering – that's another story #BayeuxTapestry #R4Today

Good idea, tape off their separate areas in which they can do whatever they like. 'Police line, do not cross' That way, the four of them know where they stand 😆 #TheArchers

See, Grant's rookie error there was to come in to Ambridge from beyond the bypass. One minute he's having a normal Sunday evening. The next, he's been drawn into the vortex of a psychodrama not of his own making #TheArchers

It really does give an extra dimension. And with phrases like 'defunctus est' even my rusty Latin cuts it. I found the repetition of hic/here quite cute, too, giving it great energy

The Tory appropriation of the Bayeux tapestry for propaganda is ironic: they are referencing something made by immigrants who invaded us and destroyed our culture

I loved those bits! All the chopping down of trees and building boats too. It showed the determination and size of the enterprise. I liked the big dinner the night before too, with the spatchcocked chickens and kebabs (I'm sure they were kebabs) #BayeuxTapestry

The Bayeux merch is absolutely class. Tankards made of horn, a bugle, battle-themed Christmas decorations 😆 We're all going to be having a Harold with an arrow through his eye on our trees this year. Loved the tapestry and loved the dedicated gift shop almost as much.

Have you had disasters cooking them? I soak for a few hours then pressure cook for 15min

This looks delicious. It's taken me a few attempts to get that nice grainy consistency you've got there (not pastey, as homemade hummus can be sometimes). As I'm on a budget I do the chickpeas in my pressure cooker. Again, very different from tinned.

Interesting how telly definitions change in the streaming era. It’s not live television, but essential to watch live! It’s great to have programmes the country watch in unison. Well done #BBC #CelebrityTraitors 📺

I found his 'Britain's current Prime Minister' (rather than just Prime Minister) a little sneery too when he was talking to the Italian MEP. We hear you Nick Robinson. These tiny microaggressions add up #R4Today

The triple lock is dead, long live the triple lock?
Government says Labour adjusting, not scrapping, triple lock
Government officials have insisted that Andy Burnham is retaining a triple lock on the state pension, but concede that he is planning to adjust its terms from April 2030 if Labour wins the next election.

At present the triple lock means that the state pension is uprated annually by whichever is highest out of three metrics: CPI inflation, 2.5 per cent or average earnings growth that year.

Under the prime minister’s plans, earnings growth would be tracked over time instead of annually — while the other two metrics would remain unchanged.

Helen Miller, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies think-tank, said on X: “I think the ‘tweak’ he mentioned can only imply that old triple lock is gone. New one is similar but without ratchet.”

I went to the Bayeux Tapestry today ⚔️ 🛡️🤴🏻🐴 They kept us moving in an encouraging yet hilarious way. Like: 'Well done guys that's GREAT shuffling. Thank you so much for keeping it moving. So proactive here with the shuffling. Thank you so much!'

That's a really good idea! I've had it in mind to go on a boat for fun as a treat for working hard on something through the heatwaves, and to go to that exhibition. I'm going to copy you and combine the two
