  @PatrickJoh21665 @GWandShows @BBCiPlayer Gorgeous and after the awful weather we've been having

  @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer What’s even worse, our carers had their pay rise postponed yet expected to continue to work. Considering how broken the HSC is it would have been more appropriate that they were paid. More carers, better retention with better pay, fewer patients blocking beds unable to go home.

  Hey @BBCiPlayer . Still no joy with @SamsungUK ? It's over 48 hours now, and still no progress. I have discovered how useless the help functions on the TV are, but that doesn't shift the dial. Don't you have an AI support function yet to get this moving to resolution?

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Ravi and Mark could work together to take them down, Why does Mark want to be involved in dealing? Need to meet their boss soon Vincent or Fatboy

  @BBCiPlayer No matter what I do in my settings, the sign language man will not leave my screen and I have commentary over the actors dialog . Please fix this bug as it’s ruining Eastenders for me

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer I hate Wes Streeting - can’t help it he’s just to smarmy & insincere.

  Has anyone watched 'Babies' on iplayer? I have found it a good watch, but the dumb laughing sound between the men and the black guy sounding like Brian Belo from BB years ago has been very distracting. Can't work out if it's deliberate, overacting, or natural 🤔 #bbc @BBCiPlayer

  @BBCiPlayer never saw 2012 and I really missed out didn’t I? Thanks for putting it on along with W1A before 2026. Quality.

  @StephenNolan @EoinTennyson @BBCiPlayer Pretending not to be part of the problem means you will never be part of the solution. Spending Friday night in RVH ED in excruciating pain along with 180 or so other people like me. To talk to my GP meant waiting until Monday after Thursday’s request for help. My GP doesn’t like to take messages. “What can you do as my GP to help?” the receptionist told me.

  @StephenNolan @ClaireHanna @BBCiPlayer It’s the way she thinks the sdlp would improve it. Their minister in the last mandate was the worst and that’s quite an achievement. There is a reason they were voted out of something that is very hard to be voted out of.

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Bet it dropped off majorly. Detectorists it ain’t and the guy who played Michael was awful.

  @bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer No one, I saw, mentions the amount of people using their own money to go private. But governments UK and Scottish spend more time dealing with ideological or minority issues. Whether its SNP or Labour we are being let down and we seem happy to vote for the muppets letting us down

  @PayReps26654 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer I’d say that’s an Amazon or internet issue not the BBC’s

  Livefromwestbelfast (@Inwestbelfast) reported 34 minutes ago

  @StephenNolan @Frankshivers @BBCiPlayer Talking about the poor and disabled who have to beg and lower themselves to justify their need for help. Years of austerity and new stricter benefits to control fraud, and you want more. End tax avoidance and loop holes with a fair footing for everybody. Flat rate for all.

  @StephenNolan @DHamill2004 @BBCiPlayer The problem is in their own community.

  Tracey (@April_1970s) reported 40 minutes ago

  @Andy___Douglas @vicderbyshire @BBCiPlayer If you had bothered to read her testimony you’d know that she couldn’t explain why she had gynaecological problems which she sought help for. What is your point ? She knew, she lied ? Why is it men like yourself need the victim to explain themselves? Andy Douglas, I pity you.

  @StephenNolan @PeterCinnamond @BBCiPlayer Buskers don’t bother me as some of them are very good to listen too. It’s the preachers I have a problem with. It has got way out of hand and I agree something needs to be done. Cant turn a corner without someone shouting about Jesus down a mic or forcing leaflets in your hand.

  @bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Someone needs to stop her talking never had a real job and she is meant to help run a country who is she keeping happy to stay in a job she can’t even tell you how many families are waiting for a council house thick total thick
