@MartinSLewis I worked for a water company who were bought out by a Chinese buyer. Should I have resigned?

Today's Poll: Would you take a well paid job, say 3x current pay, at a company owned by a country that was unfriendly to, virtually an enemy of, the UK? (It isn't spying).

@CrazyVibes_1 Gorgeous!

Am I overreacting? I bought a sweater for my future niece, and my roommates said it was ugly! I ordered from the local crafter, I wanted support her, cause I love this community, and I think its pretty nice, but my roommates said it was ugly My sister in law is pregnant and I found this sweater for the baby girl at a Mexican farmers market today. (Baby is half mexican half islander) I brought it home and excitedly showed it to my roommates and they called it ugly. I told them they were mean and have been keeping to myself for the night. They have me doubting if I should give it to my sister in law. Credit - Maryam Mary

@westerby1 @BBusinesslamb @KBGreyhoundlady @WASPI_Campaign @Lindasandelll @patmcfaddenmp @DWPgovuk I actually did know but that was because I worked for a high street bank who employed pension advisors and it was their business to know such things. We had a meeting about it at work. I do not recall being told by anyone else.

@barntavia @BBusinesslamb @KBGreyhoundlady @WASPI_Campaign @Lindasandelll @patmcfaddenmp @DWPgovuk True there were no letters, as gov is not obliged to send letters when the law changes. Bit it was in the 1993 budget, on tv news in 1995 and in newspapers. Also many workplace & private pension providers told women. Some unions did too. I got no letter but I knew in 1995.

Contrary to what @patmcfaddenmp said in Parliament yesterday, @DWPgovuk did NOT use TV advertising to inform about #WASPI Pension Age changes. #FactsMatter

@BBusinesslamb @KBGreyhoundlady @WASPI_Campaign @Lindasandelll @patmcfaddenmp @DWPgovuk It’s been in the news for years as well you know

@barntavia @KBGreyhoundlady @WASPI_Campaign @Lindasandelll @patmcfaddenmp @DWPgovuk I’ve not had a letter from the DWP telling me my pension age has gone up by two years, where’s my compo.

@BBusinesslamb @KBGreyhoundlady @WASPI_Campaign @Lindasandelll @patmcfaddenmp @DWPgovuk We were not informed in 1995. No letters, no advertising and of course no social media. The DWP have already admitted this which is why the Ombudsman found in our favour. The government have decided they do not wish to compensate us. It will backfire on them.

@barntavia @KBGreyhoundlady @WASPI_Campaign @Lindasandelll @patmcfaddenmp @DWPgovuk Using her eyes and ears like everyone else did.

@CWUnews @DaveWardGS Dave my MP has written to you on 2 occasions in order to discuss the handling of my now deceased husband, Des B dismissal. You have not bothered to reply to him yet you tell your members to email their MPs in order to help you do your job. Hypocritical?

A message from the General Secretary. CWU members have sent 15,000 emails to MPs on the situation in Royal Mail. We are also seeing images from meetings across the UK backing the union and rejecting Royal Mails failed USO proposals. We will update reps and members next week on the whole situation but for now please keep contacting your MPs and please keep the workplace meetings coming. EMAIL YOUR MP NOW cwu.org/mp-protect-pos…

@jannycat @frances_email Here's my letter, dated July 2013, I expected my SP August 2016. @patmcfaddenmp said women wouldn't take notice of letters. Well I did and kept it. 3 years notice for a 6 year delay is just pathetic and insulting.

@KBGreyhoundlady @WASPI_Campaign @Lindasandelll @patmcfaddenmp @DWPgovuk How did you find out?

@WASPI_Campaign @Lindasandelll @patmcfaddenmp @DWPgovuk I Knew though. I’m a Waspi woman & we can’t afford to give us a massive payout. I’m sick of hearing about it. I knew

Yet another disappointing update from the UK Govt for WASPI women. Despite accepting they were impacted by maladministration and spending years demanding this injustice be righted, Labour have again refused to follow the Ombudsman's recommendations and compensate those affected.

@CWUnews As a customer I appreciate our posties. Do you Dave?

A message from CWU General Secretary Dave Ward on this National #PostalWorkersDay 📮 To customers: please take a moment to show your appreciation for posties 💌 To Royal Mail’s corporate board: show your appreciation too — and let’s rebuild a successful company together. ✊📬

@CWUnews When workers join a union they expect to be fairly represented singularly and collectively. You lot do neither.

CWU inspired policy has PASSED both Houses of Parliament. "The Employment Rights Bill is a genuine improvement to millions of working people’s lives that has been fought for by unions after nearly a decade of campaigning. These positive changes will now become law, despite the best efforts of unelected Lords and bad bosses. However, the work does not stop here. The CWU, alongside other unions, will continue to campaign for the swift and effective implementation of the policies in the legislation. We will also keep campaigning for the government to go further and introduce sectoral collective bargaining, tackle the gig economy and introduce a single status of worker. Today must also herald the beginning of a new style of business leadership in the UK. CEO’s and shareholders should be motivated by building companies that provide decently-paid, secure jobs, rather than awarding themselves record pay, while their workers are paid poverty wages. This is what will secure long-term, sustainable growth for our entire economy. We will be pushing the Labour government to go further and fully empower both workers and trade unions over the next few years and once again, we encourage every worker in the country to join a trade union." Dave Ward, CWU General Secretary.

@CWUnews You allowed this to happen.

Our young people deserve better than this from Royal Mail. This is Louie. He’s 19. 📮 Because he joined Royal Mail after 2023, he’s on worse terms than colleagues doing the same job: a toxic two-tier system that harms recruitment, retention and morale. ✊📬 #PostalWorkersDay

@CrazyVibes_1 Take no notice of your soon to be mother in law, she sounds awful. Its your day not hers. My husband passed away suddenly in April and my MIL ostracised me immediately. She had been more than happy to demand my help for 34 years prior to his death. I wish I had told her to f off
