@MartinSLewis I received a letter from Santander, about 15 years after DH died. There were some dormant Abbey accounts he had moved money out of but not closed. Tiny bits of residual interest had been earning more interest. That came to £85.

@MartinSLewis My dear late husband travelled abroad a lot. When I eventually gathered the strength to clear his office I found a box of currency from lots of different countries. The PO changed most of it for me. Came to around £150.

@OneFinanceGuy Is there anything in this interview with his former business partner which helps?

@david_hollas Dont know why website has been taken down. It looked like a hastily-constructed, amateur template-based Wix job. Maybe someone at Reform HQ with more skill at web design is building him a better one using a different host in return for being used as Reform cannon fodder. 2/2

[Joy Brooks @JoyBrooks99]

@david_hollas No truck with his vile SM posts but his profile on My Builder explains his background. In the video where he's driving Farage around he said he incorporated to avoid having to make quarterly returns under MTD from April 2026. That seems plausible. His mother is Ann(e). 1/2

@maxcownie_ "There's no guarantee they will know what they're doing." Like Reform councillors then. Oh wait a miniute. Kenyon is one.

@SarahWoods66 I gave up going 30 years ago for the same reasons. Seems like nothing had changed @The_RHS

@archer_rs I saw a poll that said he, Braverman, Jenrick were likely to lose their seats in a GE. Only Rosindell of most recent defections was predicted to keep his. But aren't Kruger and James Orr of similar mindsets about turning back the clock on women's rights over their own bodies?

@MartinSLewis @StevenFouracre2 I'm pushing 71 and retired from paid work almost five years so answered positively from the perspective of volunteering. I enjoyed my paid job too!

[Joy Brooks @JoyBrooks99]

@HMRCcustomers Is there someone I could email about this rather than have to listen to endless messages telling me to press this and press that only to be cut off time and time again.

[Joy Brooks @JoyBrooks99]

@HMRCcustomers '25/26 return filed. Overpaid. Explained tax code adj for that year was wrong and carried actual underpayment '24/25 into calculation. But you reduced my refund by the wrong tax code adj. Is this a fault in the digital system? Tried phoning. Cut off three times.

[Joy Brooks @JoyBrooks99]

@HMRCcustomers It's not the way I feel it should. It's the way it should be, bringing forward the underpayment from the previous year to be deducted from any refund due for 2025/26. It's that simple and that's what I put in the filing.

[Joy Brooks @JoyBrooks99]

@HMRCcustomers I can try then but why does the system not simply bring forward the underpayment from the previous year? It shouldn't need a phone call. I did tick the box to say the code adjustmnet was wrong and should be the actual underpayment.

[Joy Brooks @JoyBrooks99]

@paullewismoney Reintroduce Age Allowance starting at £1,000 = tax saving of £200 for BR taxpayers. £1,500 for pensioners age 80 = to a tax saving of £300. Tax break = WFP which could then be withdrawn for anyone other than Pension Credit recipients, as we had in 2024. Would that work?

[Joy Brooks @JoyBrooks99]

@DanNeidle As a retired tax inspector, I agree based on what is in the public domain. Her child turned 18 just over a month ago. Had she bought the Hove property this month rather than May 2025 there would not have been an issue.

[Joy Brooks @JoyBrooks99]

@AdamFoxUK Always going to happen if Reform took control and Farage issued his orders.

[Joy Brooks @JoyBrooks99]

@chrismullinexmp Isn't another fly his friendship with Mandelson?

[Joy Brooks @JoyBrooks99]

@jamiesont Give it a couple of weeks.

[Joy Brooks @JoyBrooks99]

@BillBen50947120 @HMRCgovuk The Essex house is one entry point. Where did the money come from? What laundering chcks were done? If the £5 million is ring fenced for security "for the rest of his life" where's the money held and what transactions have there been on the account since 2024?

[Joy Brooks @JoyBrooks99]

@AdamFoxUK Order from Farage no doubt. Presumably all 15 councils will be ordered to follow suit.
