Great to chat to @JoeSims10 on @BBCBristol to talk about the fake banking apps that make scamming on marketplaces so easy. Take a look at how easy they are to find here: https://t.co/2FArS9LOsM

Great to chat to @BBCRadioStoke about what Trump's tariffs mean for the UK consumer. Hopefully I was able to reduce the confusion rather than add to it: global trade is such a webby web that it's hard to say how cutting one strand here impacts another strand there. https://t.co/DpGvct7Ykp

This is why the UK got off relatively well. Our trade surplus with the USA is mostly in services - the White House has made up these tariff rates entirely based on the goods trade balance. Seen some theorise this policy was made up by AI and I really wouldn't put it past them.

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we

Producers, I'll be available to talk about tomorrow's stock market crash and what it means for consumers. Hit up my DMs. https://t.co/nQwTNyaQAG

Did he also wake up as a beetle? Because that's the only way this could be more Kafkaesque. https://t.co/WAFGyw5M51 https://t.co/ISv1jEqtda

So great to join @susana_mendonca and @EddieNestorMBE in picking apart the Chancellor's Spring Statement, trying to tease out the implications for families across London. Ends up meaning mad notes scribbled in the @BBCRadioLondon reception while cribbing off twitter... https://t.co/VCXqyubeCt

It's a drop in the bucket but I'm really glad to see this extra money for fostering. £25 million for more foster families will save lives and boost the economy for pennies on the dollar. I'm biased on this: my gran fostered over 100 kids and I can't begin to imagine her impact https://t.co/faREwwEb7f

News flash - the CMA says you can't just double the price, slap "platinum" on the label and not give customers anything extra. Now they've pointed out the obvious, I hope they pressure Ticketmaster to refund the difference to concertgoers. https://t.co/sII4U8z2xm https://t.co/cUbdDF7bmC

UPDATE: 1350+ flights are impacted. Stansted still operating but no plans yet on redirections. If you're flying today, the urgent things to do now: - Check your emails - Keep checking the airline website - Get your airline's app - Be wary of scammers https://t.co/lWe5jNVmjQ

INTEREST RATES DROPPING...eventually? Analysts suggesting the BoE base rate will be 4% by the end of the year. Not exactly great news for the 570,000 five-year fixed rate mortgages that'll need refixing this year - their cost of living crisis is just beginning.

BBC News (UK) @BBCNews

UK interest rates have been left unchanged at 4.5% by the Bank of England https://t.co/tYO2M6NkfY

Baaad idea... Will this reduce food waste or just give it to shoppers to deal with? Prices, even low ones, are vital for stopping some randomer from "taking the lot" even if they don't plan to eat it. Plus it leaves nothing for charities at closing time. Watch this space!

Forget about the heartless punishment of someone who bought a ticket for a second - how are train companies allowed to require a print out in 2025? @transportgovuk should bar @CrossCountryUK from the network until they buy the required equipment. https://t.co/yHlTJjC8Rc
