@dave43law Sums up Reform. Limited intellect and thuggery

And there is Reform's vetting process 🤣🤣🤣

Pet insurance with Morethan. So with home and motor insurance, insurance companies are not allowed to offer new customers better premiums than for existing customers. This does not apply to pet insurance. Pet insurance premiums cost a lot more than home and car combined

@that_stocks_guy @currys Shocking from Currys. They should not mess people about.

#ConsumerRightsAct #Currys #KnowYourRights A rant for @currys, who are currently breaking the law. Normally I'd let it go, but your customer service is a shitshow and your desire to wash your hands of the faulty items you sell is illegal. On 10 October 2025, I walked into your Exeter shop and bought a PCSpecialist computer. This was the birthday present for my 12-year-old. A present they'd been dropping hints about for months with the subtlety of a child who remains terrible at poker. They'd saved their own pocket money towards it. I topped it up. It was, genuinely, a lovely moment. For four months, it was perfect. Homework. Games. The full experience of being 12 in 2025. On 22 February 2026, four months and 12 days after purchase, it stopped working. No final farewell. It just… stopped. My child sat there pressing the power button with increasing desperation, and nothing happened. The machine that had cost a significant amount of adult money, and a not-insignificant amount of 12-year-old pocket money, was dead. Fine, I thought. This is what a receipt is for. I'll call Currys (the shop I bought it from, with my money, as a birthday present for my child) and they'll sort it. Your staff told me that my contract wasn't with Currys, and that I should contact the manufacturer. They also told me to go in-store with the machine to have it looked at. I went in-store. The in-store staff told me to call the number I had just called. I called again. I was given the phone number for PCSpecialist. Phone → store → same phone → manufacturer. A perfect circle of not helping. A masterpiece of redirection. If it weren't happening to me, I'd almost admire it. Now let's talk about the law, because I think someone at Currys may have forgotten it exists. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is not a suggestion. It is extremely clear on this point: when you buy something from a retailer, your legal contract is with that retailer. Not the brand on the box. Not the manufacturer. Not some third party you've never met. The shop. The one that took your money and handed you a receipt. Within the first six months of purchase, the law presumes the fault existed at the point of sale. I don't have to prove the computer was faulty when I bought it. Currys has to prove it wasn't. The burden of proof sits entirely with them. During this window, I am legally entitled to a repair or a replacement, and if either of those fails, a full refund. We are currently inside that six-month window. I bought it on 10 October 2025. I complained on 22 February 2026. I am four and a half months in. The law is not ambiguous about what happens here. What makes this particularly spectacular is that Currys' own published policy acknowledges the six-month framework. It is written down on their website. They know the rules. They have typed them up and put them on the internet. They are simply hoping that their customers are too tired from the runaround to actually enforce them. PCSpecialist are entirely blameless in this story. They manufactured a machine. Currys sold that machine to me. My dispute is with Currys. Directing me to PCSpecialist is the retail equivalent of Tesco selling you a gone-off chicken, and when you try to return it, handing you the farmer's phone number. The farmer didn't sell you the chicken. You don't have to knock on the farmer's door. You go back to the supermarket. This is not a controversial legal position. It is just how shops work. My 12-year-old has been without their birthday present for a few days now. They have been, I have to say, considerably more gracious about this than I have. They haven't complained. They've been patient. They are, in this situation, the bigger person — which is a sentence I never expected to write about a primary school leaver, but here we are. They shouldn't have to be patient. They should just have a working computer. So this is where we are, @currys. I know my rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. But before I go down the small claims court route, and start contacting every journalist in my network on a slow news day, I am giving you the opportunity to do the right thing, in the hope that public accountability is more efficient than your customer service helpline. A child saved their pocket money for this. Sort it out.

Love Antiques roadshow 😉

@oliverjfriesen @GuardianMetRes Very well positioned Oliver indeed !

Almost speechless at this point. The things that attracted us to this metal 5 years when we started on the @GuardianMetRes journey on full display. Nearly irreplaceable, over-reliance on 🇨🇳🇷🇺🇰🇵 , growing demand across defense/tech/energy. #gmet extremely well positioned in 🇺🇸

@MORETHAN I have done that and you can’t even match the online quote from your own company. Complaint raised and also will take to FCA

@Oakymoron Hello Chris, I am sorry to hear about your renewal increase. Renewal increases can happen for several reasons. Please get in touch so we can review your policy and see how we can help. You can find all contact options here: morethan.com/contact-us/pet/

So the renewal quote from Morethan for our cat came through at 50% higher than previous year. OK the cat is now over 9 years so may explain somewhat. However when I do a quote with Morethan as a new customer the price is much cheaper. I thought this has been banned? @MORETHAN

@JackieMeek6 In Monaco?

Camilla Tominey having fun with Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the Andrew formerly known as Prince. She would hate if you retweeted this picture, causing others to see it. So, please don't... @CamillaTominey #PoliticsLive #PMQs

@oliverjfriesen @StarzeckiJ @GuardianMetRes Safe travels and bring back lots of good news!

Heading to Washington D.C. with @StarzeckiJ for a full slate of meetings. Momentum around reshoring critical metals is building fast, with 🇺🇸-based mining front and centre. At @GuardianMetRes we’re positioned to lead the charge in tungsten.

@dave43law Vile person he is

Advance UK candidate highlights his vileness and total ignorance combined

@baroninvestment GMET!

GOLD back above $5,000 this morning and TUNGSTEN hitting new record highs again. OIL firmer after API reported crude inventories fell by more than 11 million barrels last week, the biggest adjustment in almost two years

Nigel Farage has kindly asked we stop sharing this video of him talking about why we should privatise the NHS 💙 You know what to do!

Strong results from machine-cut channel sampling at our Defender Tungsten Project, in Mineral County, Nevada. Key Highlights: 🅰️ Channel A delivered 6 m @ 0.17% WO₃, including a high-grade section of 1 m @ 0.43% WO₃ 🅱️ Channel B returned an impressive 16 m @ 0.30% WO₃, with standout intervals of 2 m @ 0.66% WO₃ 🪨 Silver mineralisation was also present, further strengthening the geological potential of the area 💠 Elements that could hinder processing were found at very low levels. Great news for future development strategy. With tungsten a critical mineral facing global supply constraints, these results further highlight Defender’s potential as we plan next exploration steps. We look forward to sharing more on our planned programmes as we advance our work in the coming months. #Tungsten #GWMO #Mining #CriticalMetals

@RupertLowe10 Muslims can vote how the fuck they want As can anyone else Get your snout out. You silly little man.

The US Ambassador should be summoned to the Foreign Office and Starmer needs to publicly address this matter It is simply disgusting and an stab in the back for those who have served this country Trump is a coward and avoided the draft five times……

@karlykingsley Shite

I’m not a doctor or a nurse, but I know a few. This looks like a hand that’s been repeatedly stuck for IV access. What are we pumping the president full of?

@MAGAVoice Deranged fool

BREAKING 🚨 Argentina President Milei stuns the room saying America is actually SAVING the world from leftism and wokeism "The rebirth of the ideas of LIBERTY. The Americas will be the beacon of LIGHT to illuminate the west” HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

@PeterStefanovi2 Petulant child

Jeez Q: “Have you invited Putin to be a member of the Board of Peace?” Trump: “Yeah. He's been invited” On Macron saying he will not join the Board of Peace Trump: “Nobody wants him.. If they feel hostile, I’ll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes & he’ll join”

@RupertLowe10 The 1950s?
