@MartinSLewis Would it have killed them to suspend the penalty in the mean time? I'm stuck with the prospect of now completing on my first home in the next month or so and like many others getting penalised for it. Demoralising - worst investment I've made.

LISAs! Not in Budget, but in docs. #Budget2025 Consultation on replacing the Lifetime ISA with a new first time buyers product will take place in early 2026 (so probably take longer for it to be launched.) And I have been promised by a very senior member of the government, that this will include looking at increasing the £450,000 threshold of the existing LISA as the people who have those, cannot be left with a dead product. I will also be lobbying that if the new product is better people should be able to transfer all their LISA (and Help To Buy) money into it.

@tnmoc Hi @tnmoc hoping you may be able to help! Can you please advise if the attached IBM demo packages are of historical significance or collectible at all?

@grok @adam_antill @ThrillaRilla369 @grok explain again as if Butters from South Park

The spongy texture of the steak could be due to mechanical tenderization, where blades create air pockets, or over-injection of brine, altering the texture. Improper freezing and thawing or excessive aging might also cause this. If it smells and tastes normal with no sliminess or mold, it’s likely safe to eat, but cook to a higher temperature if mechanically tenderized to avoid bacterial risks. Without more details, the exact cause is unclear, but these are common factors. grok.com

@SueM1tchell Hi Sue, I recently tuned into willpower detectives and want to thank you for the issues you’ve highlighted in this fascinating production. I’ve been affected by something very similar and would love to send you a DM - would you mind following me so we can connect?

That’s such a great endorsement Lemn and I totally agree

@TalkTalk Really poor first impression TalkTalk

@TalkTalk 2/2 I can confirm no email received acknowledging this fault - others say the same. What is happening?

On the 3rd of September, CityFibre will be carrying out work in multiple locations across the UK, between 12AM and 6AM - whilst they're working, customers connected will be unable to access their internet. For more info, and a list of affected areas, see: community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/Service-Sta…

@llqdave @TalkTalk Not yet - have DMd them

@CDesborough @TalkTalk Have you received anything from them about them acknowledging the problem? I've seen comments on their forum, but most customers won't be on there and I haven't received anything other that the "Your payment was unsuccessful" email. @TalkTalk seem to be a complete mess.

Well there's a surprise, @TalkTalk failed to move my DD over from Shell and are trying to charge me £12.50 for the privilege. In fact, they *might* have failed to transfer ALL former Shell customers' DD across. This is going to be an expensive mistake for them.

@sarahlj2 @TalkTalk They should’ve emailed you - their billing cycle is different so there’s a period of extra use they need to recoup before the period starts - subsequent bills should go back to normal

@TalkTalk account has migrated from Shell energy to you. Used to pay £23.31 now gone up to £32.70 why?? #talktalk

@TalkTalk @tezzlah_ Hi Talktalk, kindly DM me too as the same has happened to me

@tezzlah_ Hi there, thank you for messaging us, we'll look into that, can you kindly send us a DM for further assistance. -Bloom

@sunflouwerv6 @Louis_Tomlinson @lovesupremefest take note please

@Jeremy_Hunt Boooooooo 🖕🏻

More information about our child benefit changes here. This will benefit nearly half a million families, saving an average of £1300 next year. gov.uk/government/pub…

@ECFRS How many times have you responded to fires at this location in the last year?! how much £resource spent? Residents warned this would happen again and notified authorities of roadblocks placed by landowner 2 days ago. Likely insurance scam, needs investigating

Firefighters have been at the scene of a fire in a disused industrial area in Convent Lane, Braintree tonight. We believe the fire was started deliberately. We are urging anyone who knows anything about this fire to report it to FireStoppers. orlo.uk/41Y3S

@HMRCcustomers 🤦‍♂️

@CDesborough Hi there, really sorry the line disconnected. We don't have access to DM's but we can provide general help here. How can we help? Thanks, Anas

Good morning, @HMRCcustomers are here until 8pm to answer your general queries on Twitter. Please don't post any personal details.

@HMRCcustomers He said he wasn't trained to answer whether my self employment registration is ceased. What a waste of time. Why have you put him on the phone line when he can't do his job yet??

@HMRCcustomers Got advised to call 0300 200 3500 to speak to the self employed contact centre. On hold for 1 hour 3 minutes before Alieu picked up and advised he couldn't help - put me through to someone else who cut me off. Fuming. DM me to resolve

@BritishGas What's going on with the chat service? Not working on mobile browser either... never known a company to have such awful customer care contact options...

@CDesborough Good afternoon Des, so sorry for the issues with our chat service, please DM me your Customer ref number, Name and Tel no and let me know what enquiry is about and happy to assist. ^Dave

@ItsAaronHeree1 @HMRCcustomers Same issue here, @HMRCcustomers message me to sort this out. I've spent ages on the phone back in May, assured it was finalised. Still not received confirmation.

@HMRCcustomers i recently called to advise i was no longer self employed but my UTR is still active but my HMRC app says i’m no longer employed? how can i fix this phone lines say self assessment is closed until september? and we chat is no help
