@LydiaLaw53 @jk102801 @MartinSLewis So **not** the reason why you "won't do internet banking".

@RankinPeter @jk102801 @MartinSLewis Yes I do know that thank you, I was merely giving an example of how what happened to us impacted our life & made us reluctant to do online banking...enjoy your day

Do you use the Lloyds, Bank of Scotland or Halifax apps? People have been messsaging me this morning of being shown other peoples transactions. I want to see how widespread this is. Has it happened to you. If so a) What are you seeing? Which app. b) If it is someone elses transactions does it give any of their details too (name, account number etc)?

@LydiaLaw53 @jk102801 @MartinSLewis But **EVERYBODY ELSE** is doing internet banking, and potentially have access to your account. What you do or don't do does nothing in this situation.

@jk102801 @MartinSLewis That's why I won't do internet banking, call me a dinosaur but there's so much fraud about now & a few years ago we had our business account cleaned out when a petrol station were cloning debit/credit cards,a place that we used all the time, emergency overdraft & 3m to sort out

Looks like the @IChronicle website has either been hacked, or they've loaded their test data into production. These are nothing to do with me!

@quont1 @tomhfh @tombradley95 Or reduce/stop working for any reason ... health, caring responsibilities, lifestyle choice, etc

@tomhfh @tombradley95 What if you die in 2 years time? Wasted your money

This is the worst financial advise ever Do not over pay on a loan that has no actual recourse to you and doesn’t effect anything else and is forgiven after a set amount of time. PLEASE do invest in an isa

@GCHQ As those are capital letters, the answer is £. But I think you really mean 3

A #GCHQPuzzle to defrost to start your day. Good luck!

@grok @MarsBounty1 @CensoredTube This is wrong. The structure and format as well as the look conform exactly to UK numberplate standards.

@grok @MarsBounty1 @CensoredTube Why does the car have a UK numberplate if it happened in South Africa?

@DisrespectedThe @grok where is this and what is the weight limit on that bridge?

What an idiot.

The BBC are making out that this is something huge, but it's less than water than each person in Scotland flushing the toilet one EXTRA time EVERY TWO YEARS! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@Montpop2000 @ChrisGPackham "Avoiding" tax is minimising it legally. She evaded it.

Utter cobblers. Angela Raynor has spent the last 10 years in opposition as the Labour attack dog lambasting opposition as “Tory Scum”. Once in Government along with Bridget Phillipson she revelled in the closure of over 50 Independent Schools and the displacement of over 13,000 children due to Labour’s spiteful and punitive education tax. She was all over anyone who she perceived to have done wrong, always calling for their resignation without recognition of their home situation. Please spare me the crocodile tears now she has been caught avoiding tax, and now for you to throw out the sexist and classicist cards to muster sympathy is a sad reflection of how far Labour have fallen. Yes she has a tricky home situation but so do millions of taxpayers in the UK - do you seriously think they would be given the leeway she has been afforded? As she often ranted “One rule for them, and one rule for us” - perhaps it’s time she took her medicine and realise she has veered into being one of ‘them’ that she often professes to dispise and denigrate - Champagne Socialist extraordinaire. Drink it up Ange.

There's a witch hunt happening in the media right now aimed at someone I know to be a person of real integrity – someone whose values I share . It's not right , and we all know the motivations of those behind the briefings and the headlines . . .

@Drew15562 @AgentP22 Wrong again. The Sewel Convention is that Westminster - which could, if it wanted, pass laws on DEVOLVED matters - doesn't normally do that.

@AgentP22 You're almost right, Westminster passes legislation on reserved matters but the Sewel Convention applies.

Hilarious. When did UK terrorism law become a devolved matter?

@alexmassie Confabulation

It takes talent to be this mad.

@mcleishmclosh @kennyzool @MerrynSW They won't be insured for this. The premiums would exceed the loss. Insurance is for rare catastrophic events, not continual losses. But yes, we'll all pay more. There's nobody else that can.

@kennyzool @MerrynSW Presumably it increases their insurance premium which we eventually pay for.

More on the break down of Britain's social contract!

@kennyzool @MerrynSW Perhaps they care for their staff more than for a steak?

@MerrynSW The weirdest thing about it is they don't care if you steal it anymore anyway - their staff won't try and stop you and you routinely see people filling their boots and strolling away...so at this point it's all just theatre 🤷‍♂️

The only avenue left is to deal individually with the labyrinthine process of contacting CBP to try to get the record corrected. It leaves us all unsure whether we'll have ESTAs cancelled, refused in the future, or be denied boarding when trying to travel to the USA. 3/3

The first that anyone impacted knew about this was when we received emails from US Customs & Border Protection warning that we had 10 days left to leave the country. 2/3

@FiatisFraud @Jenny_1884 Given that Pension Credit is not a universal benefit, some of it already is.

@Jenny_1884 That’s because your NI doesn’t go into a pension fund it just disappears into one massive budget (similar to road tax not being spent on roads). Expect pensions to be means tested.

I’m sick of being told by the Government that a State Pension is a benefit. It should not be. If you have worked hard all your life & paid into the system then it should not be classed as a benefit as it should be classed as an entitlement for doing your bit for the economy.

@30nemagar @TheAmazingClips This is in the UK. We drive on the left and trucks are ONLY allowed in the left lanes!

@TheAmazingClips That’s why big trucks aren’t supposed to be in the left lanes. Accident could still happen but less likely like that.

@AMachaggis @gilliand25 Yes, as long as it's not coming from a local shop like Tesco or Sainsbury.

@gilliand25 Does that work?

Bombay Sapphire 1l is min priced at £26 in Scotland. In rUK its readily sold at £20. So where is the best stockest just over the border?
