Today we did "have you experienced hostility as a Tesla driver?". Extraordinarily, a listener got in touch to say a driver had pulled up behind her Tesla with full beams on, last Friday, and then shot her rear windscreen before driving off down a side road. https://t.co/uZpAd50eev

We took the decision today to voice up and read out, on Radio 2, every word of John Hunt's victim impact statement. At ten minutes precisely it must be the longest monologue we've ever broadcast. We did so with good reason - give it a read if you haven't: https://t.co/Qegbo2itza

Nerd fact of the day: the ship and the tanker in the North Sea sea technically 'allided'. It's simpler to say it was a collision but some seafarers would say 'allision'. It's a nautical term to indicate a moving ship striking a stationary object - such as another ship.

Right who's in charge of the PR for mice, please? Because they're having a quite incredible week and it's only Tuesday. (At this rate I guess the whole PR outfit is run by the mice themselves). https://t.co/Jiy6dRD7XX

It was well-known as Aberdeen before rebranding to Abrdn but is now returning to Aberdeen. The bosses complained of 'corporate bullying' after people ridiculed the lack of vowels. Guess the bullies won. https://t.co/0wzM6M0kFx

A short but quite extraordinary exchange. Chris Mason: “do you still think that Mr Zelensky is a dictator?” Donald Trump: “did I say that? I can’t beleive I said that. Next question” https://t.co/OLBZRXKL2W

In a strange form of reunion, in this hour on Radio 2, we have Ed Miliband and Napalm Death's Barney Greenway. Only today they're talking about nuclear power and Birmingham, respectively, and in turn. Bit different to last time.

Tim Johns @timoncheese

Ed Miliband just attempted to sing death-metal on Radio 2, tutored by the lead singer of Napalm Death. You're welcome. https://t.co/1gnZgSMU9O

RT @johnco: Ed Conway is fast becoming a national treasure

If you want to recreate the feeling contestants get on the Traitors when they spot a ‘murder letter’ sitting on their hotel chair, peek inside your young children’s bags at the end of the day to see if they have received yet another party invitation.

Awful isn’t it. And not just the NHS. Happens in lots of industries (including media). Inflexible rotas managed by people who prioritise default shift patterns over common sense exceptions which benefit staff. Pointless, petty. I’m lucky to have a great boss but have seen it.

Dear rota coordinator, I'd love to come in at short notice to help with ongoing pressures but given you are currently refusing to give me annual leave to be a groomsmen at my best friends wedding which I've given you over 6 months notice for, I sadly find myself unavailable

I love that my five-year-old picked up on my favourite quote of Wallace and Gromit and is now, despite not really knowing it means, going around shouting “only two hours to go and they haven’t even started laying the patio!” and then laughing to himself

Presented with no context, I love that these two texts from listeners came in back-to-back https://t.co/gVVuHSzpWP

On the radio show today: we've done the merits of windfarms. We're about to discuss smartphone thefts. But currently Homes Under the Hammer's Martin Roberts is telling us that he was denied a mortgage because his house is haunted by a ghost. 🤷‍♂️

I find it strangely enjoyable that Google Maps now has a cute car picture https://t.co/ZnUO9Hh8tQ

My phone memories tell me that Chester made its castle-walls ‘pee proof’, and on this day in 2016 we simulated this in the studio. @theJeremyVine https://t.co/1aPbm6eWai
