@HMRCcustomers But in the meantime you’ll send a debt collection agency? You’re backlogged and I have to deal with debt collectors, great. Thanks a lot!

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

@HMRCcustomers how do I get you to correct and remove a fine for not submitting a tax return? Tried calling, you hung up on me. Tried again, you said you’d transfer me and the hung up on me. Tried a third time and you hung up on me again and told me to come here. Help!

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

@HMRCcustomers You haven’t done anything about my request to withdraw the return and now I’ve had a letter saying you’re passing this on to debt collectors. Please sort this asap. This is ridiculous

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

@HMRCcustomers And will that remove the fine?

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

@HMRCcustomers All of them but most notably the first one - I didn’t work as a self employed person during that financial year. Which was also explained in my tax return from the year before.

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

@HMRCcustomers That’s current and doesn’t help. I informed you I wasn’t self-employed and you fined me anyway. Please remove that fine.
I am now self employed again so I don’t want my self employment status removing, just the fine for the year I wasn’t self employed

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

@HMRCcustomers Hello??

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

@HMRCcustomers The tax return that I didn’t submit because I wasn’t self employed and told you I wasn’t self-employed was from 2021 apparently. But I was living in the U.S. and a U.S. tax resident. You were informed my self-employment status had ended in my tax return for 2020

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

@mickholland41 @nottmtails Yep. He moved the foam while the refs back was turned. Needs to be fined by the FA for that.

@HywelSatherley 😂 Not entirely. Just combining some small rooms to make bigger ones.

If one image could sum up my life right now, it’s this one! 😂
One day I hope to be rich enough to live somewhere else while projects like this happen (or maybe even live somewhere that doesn’t need this amount of work) but for now, this is our main bathroom.

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

@JteaV @tomorger Of course that’s what it is. Just make sure nobody’s around when you find that floppy disk drive and open it… 😂

Can’t argue with the results

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out:

▪️ No drop in revenue

▪️ 65% fewer sick days

▪️ 71% less burnout

▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial

The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

@SHFaulkner @NTUEng @NTUSciTech No drop, flat soles? Interesting. Have they built in any arch support? What are they using for the upper? I’d be interested to see the finished product

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

@pedma7 Do you risk 1-2% per trade, or at any one time?

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

@nottmtails Not 4-2-3-1?

Thanks to Brexit, Brits can work the longest hours in Europe, with the worst employment rights in Europe, until they reach the highest retirement age in Europe, then get the lowest pensions in Europe. Deal with it, meddling Brussels bureaucrats!!!

@HywelSatherley Proportional representation all the way. Replace the Lords with the leader of each local council and have the House of Commons be fully PR. Fixed 😂

[Andy Brooke @AndyBrooke11]

Is it possible that people only vote Tory because they’re not paying attention?

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

Here’s that same chart, but now highlighting which party was in power at which point.

The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed something.

When Labour were in power, spending and investment went up 📈

When the Conservatives came in, it went down 📉
