When it comes to supporting a political party, policies of the day are more important than historic loyalty.

@AskVirginMoney I tried that. They flatly refused to take payment or stop the interest. Would the financial ombudsman be able to help do you think?

[Alex Lister @CanterburyAlex]

@VirginMoney Today I phoned up to pay my balance off and close my account. Your customer service said they wouldn't accept payment unless I post them a bunch of documents proving my identity.

You are still charging me interest, but refusing to take payment. This is theft.

[Alex Lister @CanterburyAlex]

@AskVirginMoney I don't have the documents they want so I can't send them. You either need to let me pay the money or stop charging me interest.

[Alex Lister @CanterburyAlex]

More appositely you are in direct breach of your terms and conditions.

Now that Russia's despot leader has actually taken his country to war, I was wondering if Labour Party members will finally stop referring to each other as 'comrades'?

@munirawilson @Place2Be @otrtwickenham @YoungMindsUK @MindCharity @barnardos What an incredibly moving speech from an absolutely inspirational MP.

[Munira Wilson 🇺🇦 @munirawilson]

Each week brings more heart-breaking stories of schools, parents struggling to get mental health support for kids. So important, yet in Parliament feel I'm shouting into the void. Please share if you care ⬇️ @Place2Be @otrtwickenham @YoungMindsUK @MindCharity @barnardos #CYPMHS

Also, once people start to realise that laws aren’t applied equally, the police lose their moral authority.

Policing needs the consent of the public or we have anarchy. Now that people see what Met’s done, that consent is seriously undermined.

[Alex Lister @CanterburyAlex]

What scares me about the Met’s complicity in covering up partygate is if they are prepared to protect the government over relatively trivial crimes, what else are they prepared to cover for?

Today I'm meant to be celebrating my 40th birthday with friends. Unfortunately I've tested positive for Covid and despite not having major symptoms I'm going to obey the rules and self-isolate.

Johnson and the twats in No 10 can go do one. I still know right from wrong.

[Alex Lister @CanterburyAlex]

I want to live in a country where our leaders govern with honour, integrity and dignity. Is that too much to ask?

If you’d like to hear a top quality bit of Christmas music, you could do worse than watching this - and maybe donating a fiver to the charities they are supporting…

@RoyalMailHelp My tracked delivery parcel says it's going to be delivered yesterday but the local depot says it's being held in Northern Ireland. It's very urgent. Can you help me?

[Alex Lister @CanterburyAlex]

If anyone in or near Canterbury needs a vaccine you can get one today. No appointment needed. Second doses available (must be 8 week gap).

Probably won’t even have to queue!

[Alex Lister @CanterburyAlex]

A fantastic win!

Finished in Tyler Hill in time to go and put a heavier coat on and help @CanterburyAlex in Westgate.

It’s been so good chatting to people today, I’ve really missed this.

@i_pinkwolfie It was actually the George in Fordwich, but I will be heading down to the Dolphin this week. I can't wait to see their amazing improvements to the garden...

[Alex Lister @CanterburyAlex]

Sunday lunch in a sunny pub garden... bliss.
