@EE words can't express how shit your 24 hour emergency replacement is. You are UTTER WANKERS. Here's a new name for it - "24 hour we send you the phone, then we don't tell you it needs an E Sim and you need to go and get one yourself from an E shop,wherever that is" PRICKS #ee

@robkitson I'm not sure about this. Actually I am sure. It's awful. "The Bordeauxs" 🫠

@TheIFS @HelenMiller_IFS @BenZaranko @ckfarquharson Your post budget podcasts are excellent but why have neither you nor others reported on a direct tax increase on Ltd co directors? (Via dividend increase) it's a huge tax hike on entrepreneurship and small businesses. Cc @MelJStride

'I don't think we can afford to have budgets that look like this in some sense. The growth problem is so bad.' @HelenMiller_IFS, @benzaranko and @ckfarquharson discuss this week's Budget and its implications for growth in our new podcast. 🎧 Listen here: ifs.org.uk/articles/autum…

@robprogressive If you run your own company and take salary and dividends you pay 48% tax corporation and dividend combined.

Everyone cries ‘tax the rich more’, but look at the facts The top 1% now pay 33 % of all income tax The bottom 50% only pay 9% of all income tax A £150k earner pays £53,460 in tax A £25k earner pays just £2,486 in tax It takes 21x £25k earners to contribute was one £150k earner does in tax The problem is not the rich The problem is how much tax is wasted

@tSHandJ Problem with the new Bullseye is there is too much clapping, almost more clapping than not clapping. Gives me a headache. They even clap each prize announced on the prize board. "And here's Sharon" clap Hits black section clap "Next up frank" clap Hits prize clap.

@MattGubba Well done Matt. I've been trying to tell MPs about @Jeremy_Hunt 's 30% corporation tax rise 3 years ago on small businesses and now this. The only sector of the economy with a direct income tax rise (on working people!). I bet RR thinks Div tax is only paid on stock market divs.

Small business owners on average incomes are about to get hammered again next year. Labour is raising the basic-rate dividend tax from 8.75% to 10.75%. It sounds tiny on paper... just “2%”. In reality it’s a 23% increase in the tax bill for the average small business owner. The typical UK micro-company owner earns around £40k a year in total income. Under this budget they’ll lose £920+ straight off the top for doing nothing except running a business in Britain. At a time when costs are soaring, margins are shrinking, and growth is desperately needed, the government has chosen to punish the very people keeping the economy alive. This isn’t “fairness” or “balance”. It’s anti-enterprise policy, plain and simple. If you want a healthier economy, stop squeezing the small businesses that create half the nation’s jobs. Britain needs more business owners; policies like this will only drive more of them abroad.

@MerrynSW Dividend tax increase on Ltd co directors is a direct income tax increase on working people

Merryn Talks Money budget special! Recording early tomorrow am. What do you want to know? Questions for my expert panel?

@Marthalanefox just heard you on @TimesRadio No comment on dividend hike for small company directors? Direct tax increase on one class of the working population?! Why not? Thanks Ben

@BBCNorfolk Feel sorry for the guy but it's hardly news is it. If you don't repay your mortgage you don't own your house.

'I worked, I paid taxes - then the bank took my home' bbc.in/49sOtDY

So someone has an interest only mortgage for 25 years, doesn't pay any of it off, is eventually repossessed by bank. Wow. Groundbreaking. Prime example of what @BBCNews should not be doing!

I’m calling on my MP @carolinevoaden to back Long Live The Local. Pubs and breweries need our support! Sign today at longlivethelocal.pub/sign #longlivethelocal
