@Chris87Trader I suspect that the constant growing number of hyper-sophisticated financial fraud cyber threats is to blame. Mega-complicated updates required at very short notice in response to new threats will inevitably cause issues. Congrats to @hlinvest for keeping accounts safe.

One of the most expensive brokers on offer, and intending to raise their prices further next month to loyal customers, yet having an outage lasting over 16 hours, which they tried to put down to maintenance (which should only be done at weekends), people cannot access their accounts, buy or sell investments, whilst all other brokers which are much cheaper than @HLInvest operate normally. Thanks to @Stockbroker_Co for the comparison

@HLInvest Thank you for confirming that client accounts, funds and data were kept secure - that is the most important aspect of what must have been a very serious issue. Hopefully there are lessons learned to help you put systems in place so that this can be avoided in the future

@DaleVince Diesel Price last week - I saw £1.85/litre on the M4, around 30–40p more than nearby supermarkets. Unnecessary profiteering which @UKLabour I thought you were going to tackle.

Surging oil prices are not an act of god, it's an act of capitalism. And rather than throw money to the oil Barons we should control them. Control prices rather than wring our hands at runaway markets and profiteering. Fix the problem not fund the symptom. news.sky.com/story/flatplan…

@TheHitMan1776 @MrPitbull07 @TheHitMan1776 a lot of people are choosing to do exactly that - the “at home”cooking has developed so much over the years that many people can regularly cook a wide variety of restaurant-standard food in their own kitchen while entertaining friends, at a fraction of the cost.

@MrPitbull07 Your $ 40 tip is insulting. I waited tables all through college. I would’ve handed your money back and told you that you needed it more than me. Stay home.

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic. ~Lea Robertson

#bbcqt #lisanandy STOP gaslighting everyone about the film and tv industry. It’s on its knees. The vast majority % of skilled freelance workforce is out of work. There is no skills shortage. The existing professionals need support, not selling a lie to unsuspecting youth.

@RupertLowe10 So what about all the UK expats living in and working very productively in the Middle East who can’t put an Arabic sentence together? Send them all back to the UK?

One Restore Britain policy has really got them all wound up - removing those foreign nationals who are incapable of speaking English. How many doubts have I had about this one? ZERO. If a Pakistani men is living in Bradford say, and cannot string a sentence together in English, he should go home. How can he possibly contribute to the economy in any meaningful way? How can he even attempt to integrate? He clearly hasn’t, and he clearly won’t. So he can’t work, can’t integrate, can’t contribute. His attitude clearly stinks. What is he doing here, honestly? He will rely on translators for NHS services, paid for by us. He’s almost certainly claiming some form of benefits. Translation there too. Who pays? You guessed it. The British taxpayer. He’s here on a visa, which includes an English language requirement. He has broken the agreement, therefore it’s void and that Pakistani man should go back to Pakistan. He would be asked to leave, and if he refuses, he would be deported. Good. To be honest. Again, the number who go is secondary. The principle must come first. If that means a huge number of people leave because of this policy, that is just the logical consequence. ‘Oh but English people living in Spain can’t speak Spanish’. There is a simple response here - that’s Spain’s problem. I don’t care what happens there, to be brutally honest. ‘Restore Espana’ can make that argument. This is Britain, and we’re talking about what happens in Britain. So if you’re living in England, you speak English. End of story. Restore Britain would remove those foreign nationals who don’t, and save billions in the process through reduced welfare payments, NHS costs, and translation services. It’s a fantastic policy. This is what any self-respecting nation would do. And there is finally a political party with the balls to do it. Restore Britain.

@RinconResources @DavidLenigas Just 10km south west of Telfer up to 37g/t gold, up to 20% copper. How close is WSBN to this? How close is this to Wishbone Gold? #wsbn

$RCR Hasties gold-copper trend now extends >1km along strike, ~10km SW of Telfer. 🔹 Historic rock chips up to 37g/t Au & 21% Cu 🔹 “Hasties Central” zone (>300m strike, up to 100m wide) 🔹 Drill rig mobilisation this quarter. bit.ly/4kXmTSW @DavidLenigas $GGP

@JacobKinge #BTC the party’s over, folks. It was clear at $125k per BTC, when the orchestrated media hype exploded (talking of $250k or more) that those in the know started offloading. Plenty of dead cat bounces to come during the inevitable and continuing crash. IMO, of course!

BREAKING: Michael Saylor's Bitcoin portfolio is now down $9.2 BILLION.

@WestminsterWAG PORTUGAL; Didn‘t legalise drugs Didn’t create “sustainable supply” from cartels Didn’t teach children how to take drugs. Removed criminal penalties for personal-use small amounts. Replaced criminal prosecution with administrative panels Focus on harm reduction, public health

Also... Legalise prostitution on your local high street. Legalise crack cocaine and heroin. Do deals with South American drug cartels to introduce a 'sustainable supply' of cocaine to Britain. Teach primary school children how to take class A drugs in schools. Give illegal immigrants automatic right to a house, free medical treatment and a 'living wage' (no requirement to work), at the expense of hard-working British taxpayers. Pretty bleak future.

Are you watching #DirtyBusiness on #C4? If it's touched a nerve, you may want to sign this petition organised by #SurfersAgainstSewage you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/end-… #OceanActivists @sascampaigns

@ausstockchick The sure sign of an unsustainable bubble. In the. UK’s “desirable” areas where cheeky offers just weren‘t entertained, now they are. Offers 20% below asking price are now being considered, at best as a a base for negotiation, at worse accepted.

Housing update! 16 buyers still fighting for the house. A private viewing is scheduled later today. I think one of these people could give me an offer I can’t refuse… #realestate #Perth

@ausstockchick @OR3_Limited @ausstockchick Any other juicy news from RIU? Are #Riversgold_Ltd and #wsbn there?

Stopped at the #OR3 @OR3_Limited stand at the RIU conference. Spodumene crystals from the Kangaroo Hills #Lithium project.

@mhs1738 @mhs1738 - look at Kazera Global (LON:KZG). For LTHs it’s been a v long road, but for people just joining the price is off recent highs as we wait for the granting of extension to the existing mining licence giving access to at least 34x the current size #kazeraglobal

I feel as though #rock is a screaming buy especially after the rns. Any other shares anyone would recommend looking into? Currently holding #wsbn #rock #qhe and #he1.

Seems as though someone at the Olympic live feed or the BBC commentary feed is listening! Immense improvement on minimising the whining from the camera drones during the Men’s combined event, A much more enjoyable and engaging viewing experience. Thank you.

#bbc #bbciplayer #WinterOlympic2026 Talk about spoiler alert on any catch up viewing! You announce the result of the event you are about to watch on iPlayer in the strap line of the programme, thereby eliminating any thrill, jeopardy or engagement

#drone #cameradrone #WinterOlympics Filter out the overpowering sound of the whining drones. Or if you can’t, then bin the drones - the production value is questionable, even if they were silent. Completely distracts from the actual event and is spoiling enjoyment.

#cameradrone #drone #mensdownhill #WinterOlympics #ANNOYING !! Not sure the drone shots are adding any production value, get in shot especially over the Stelvio Jump, and the whining noise. Eugh.

@British_Airways @DAviation17 No offence intended @DAviation17, but @British_Airways why is this a “great shot”?

@DAviation17 It's a great shot, Danny. Thanks for sharing! Chris

Heres a shot of @British_Airways Flight BA1375 Airbus A320-232 (G-EUYG) seen here about to Depart (MAN) 🇬🇧 to (LHR) 🇬🇧 on 07/10/25 through the Steel. #Britishairways #BA1375 #Airbus #A320 #AirbusA320 #GEUYG #Aviation #Avgeeks #avgeek #planespotting #Manchester #Manchesterairport

@DaleVince Check out AFC Energy. On-site hydrogen production from proprietary ammonia cracker units. #AFCEnergy

This tech could make green hydrogen at the same cost as brown (from fossil fuels) - that would be transformational for Hydrogen and the often discussed but never getting closer - Hydrogen economy. If these guys pull this off at scale, then I reckon we’re underway. And there’s a role for this in storing excess wind energy as Hydrogen and converting back to power when we need it - something we’ll need to be able to do as we approach 100% green on the grid. Congrats to the team behind this. scotsman.com/business/miles…
