Jon Whitfield KC

After 12 years serving as one of Her Majesty Counsel (QC) I will continue to serve as one of His Majesty Counsel (KC). It is an honour and a privilege so to do.

@ScottishWidows Hello Jenny, I have sent a DM (I do not want to give out personal details on this platform) Many thanks, Jon

@JonWhitfieldKC We're unable to discuss policy specific details on Social Media. However, if you DM us your Name, Date of Birth & Postcode, along with a brief outline of the issues you face, we'll look into it. Don't include policy numbers or PIN codes as chats are stored at both ends. ^Jenny

@ScottishWidows - how do I get information when you: don’t answer phones don’t call back (despite saying you will) don’t respond to letters (ditto) are not contactable on email have an App that doesn’t work have a chat-bot that can’t answer questions

@sdavieslaw @CommonsPAC @MoJGovUK Para 2 - 1st sentence re MoJ blaming more police is utter nonsense. The chaos in CJS is because the last Govt shut numerous courts (mags and crown), refused to allow other courts to sit and defunded the entire system for a decade.

The @CommonsPAC are not convinced that the @MoJGovUK are taking urgent action when it comes to tackling the backlog in the Crown Courts. What is the point of a Criminal Justice Board if it does not meet at all? The backlog is the outcome of incompetence at the highest level.

@DandG_Global Thankyou Sam - this is now 2nd day of trying to make contact so they must have a LOT of problems. The online booking system allows you to fill all details in etc and then says error call on phone. Your colleague confirmed the online system doesnt is not used (so why is it there).

This is not a common occurrence with Neff/Bosch, so I sincerely do apologise for the trouble you're experiencing. We do not have any influence over their phone lines or the staff that they hire to man them. They must be extremely busy at this time. I recommend calling later in the day. They are open until 4PM - Thank you, Sam

@DandG_Global @NeffAppliances @BoschUK Book insured repair on D&G website. 48hrs later find not booked. Rebook online & then they say contact Neff. Call Neff 1/2hr later they simply cut call Booked online but Neff say booking error contact Bosch Bosch = no reply after 1/2hr 😡😡

@DandG_Global Hello Sam, their phone system times-out after 30minutes so there is no point in holding on since they do not answer and it just costs me a 1/2hr phone call each time. IF D&G are to continue providing cover you need to ensure your operatives can be contacted. No service at all. J

@JonWhitfieldKC Hi Jon, I am sorry that you are having such a hard time reaching Neff. I can only advise that you continue to hold until you get through to one of their operators. - Thank you, Sam

@DandG_Global @NeffAppliances @BoschUK Well that was a waste of time. Another 1/2hr with no response from Neff Call D&G and miraculously someone answers to put me through direct, only they dont, they put me back to the same call-line that cuts off. What is the point of D&G insurance if I cannot book a repair?

Hi Jon, Sorry to hear that that your repair journey isn't going as expected. Normally for repairs on Bosch or Neff appliances we do refer to their prefered repair agents . We are sorry that getting the repair booked in has been difficult, If you would like us to review and assist further and see where we can help in getting your repair booked in. please contact via direct message with your full name and details and we will do what we can. Thank you, Nathan

@BoschUK Hello, thanks for responding. your repair team have been in contact & will try to sort this tomorrow. The problem is that your preferred repair company does not accept online bookings (despite having an entire online booking process) and they cannot be reached by phone. J

@JonWhitfieldKC Hi Jon, we are sorry to hear about this. Please send us a DM with your contact details so we can get in touch. Thanks.

New Year’s resolution I will not buy any storage space advertised on X I will not buy some new garage doors (ditto) I will not buy a number plater (ditto) I will not [enter text]…

@robjoe11 @paulmasonnews This is VIP factor of all. We live in times when the only thing that matters is comms. Tell it again & again & people will believe (whether it is true or not). RW learnt this, bought up press & TV & deploy all the time. Lab still naive enough to think they will “win the argument”

Five ways Labour can turn the tide and stop the far right: 1/ Accept the economic system doesn't work and fuse all government efforts to providing relief to working class families now, not in 5 years' time... theneweuropean.co.uk/five-radical-s…

@AvailableLawyEW @sdavieslaw Lovely Rolls Royce but sadly no petrol to run it, the driver left to get another job, it’s raining the garage collapsed and the windows are open and the MoJ has put a wheel clamp on it.

@sdavieslaw Rolls Royce system, envy of the world, blah blah....

It’s true. “It’s f***ing s**t. The whole system is “f**ed!” news.sky.com/story/inside-t…

@SnotSurgeon With no cost/consequences the person did not value the chance they had for the operation so just left. If they valued the service they would stay

@SnotSurgeon Of the 2 who cancelled last Weds surely 4days notice is enough to fill the slot. The one who couldn’t wait should be billed for the cost of the wasted time namely loss of theatre, nursing, surgeon, anaesthetist etc and put to the rear of the queue.

My all day NHS operating has been left with 3 out of 5 slots unused - 2 patients decided on Wednesday that the date did not suit (having previously confirmed) and 1 this morning did not want to wait to be second on the list, so left. They have waited nearly a year for surgery.

@nornan @HonSocGraysInn Congratulations Nora 👍🏼👍🏼

Delighted to be called to the Bar by @HonSocGraysInn at its first family friendly Call; an unforgettable evening for my children and I! Congratulations to all those called today 👏 🥳 🎉

@sdavieslaw MoJ seem to be restricting sitting days across more than one domain. The entire justice system needs to be properly supported by govt or it will cease to function

Restricting judicial sitting days at a time when the backlog in the Crown Court is circa 70k (and expected to hit 80k next year) makes absolutely no sense at all It seems inevitable that the next battle will be Custody Time Limits and I can foresee many defendants being released

Happy 20th Anniversary to @15NBS Chambers. Officially opened for business on 4 October 2004 as a specialist criminal set. Still going strong and long may it continue to do so.

@CompaniesHouse Ok Ill do that, many thanks for a quick response.

@JonWhitfieldKC Hi, there doesn't appear to be any issues with our online service. If I may suggest that you email our enquiries@companieshouse.gov.uk with details of your problems filing online. ^CF

@CompaniesHouse is there a problem with your web filing system? The system keeps timing out without access.

@London_W4 That’s the tip for the butler who had to collect the shopping

I’m not saying the residents of Battersea Power Station apartments are incredibly rich, but this is the fridge in their corner shop. Imagine how embarrassed you’d be asking for the £800 bottle, with the shop assistant looking down their nose that you can’t afford the £4250 bottle

@Joanna__Hardy Yes - any toiletries, makeup, creams, toothpaste etc - all should be kept below the 50ml mark and in one plastic bag. Rules were relaxed but then reimposed because last Govt did not install the necessary scanners (nor have they elsewhere)
