@DoctorChrisVT My little one seemed intrigued by the first ‘real’ bread she’s ever had! Thank you for this book - game changer. Now desperately waiting for friends and family to read it!!
@PJTheEconomist@_simonlambert often highlights these *mad* elements of the tax system on @thisismoney podcast. Complexity helps politicians here - people don’t understand how unfair these ‘quirks’ are and how angry they should be
@watsoncomedian I’ve had about 34 conversations on their app with @BritishGasHelp where they say an issue will be fixed in a few days… it has been 3 months and nothing has happened
@_simonlambert@TheIFS Please do for the podcast!! Spoken to so many frustrated young mums last few days. Cliff edges and distortions like this drive me mad. 62% marginal tax rate plus 30 hours free childcare taken away is just 😵💫
We shouldn’t let this be buried by other news today. Foodbank charity Trussell Trust says that the need for foodbanks has outstripped donations for the first time. It has distributed 46% more emergency food parcels in August and September than at the same time in 2021.
@mydeposits my old landlord hasn’t submitted evidence and it’s been 21 days (deadline was 14), been on hold as 1 in the phone queue for over an hour across various calls, no response to emails, how can I get my deposit back?
@virginmedia Yes it was via web chat a month ago, with the date for disconnection the end of the contract in mid September, but I’ve been told I’ll be charged in September and then I’ll be charged more after that!
@virginmedia I think I’ve been charged an extra month? Also I’ve had an email telling me my bill is going up when I already gave notice to disconnect a month ago?
