@MoneySavingExp Thankfully, a few phone calls appear to have resolved this issue. I haven't seen my new bill yet, however, so hopefully the deal will still be as it was.

[Local Festival-Goer @Local_Fest_Goer]

@MoneySavingExp I followed your advice and switched from Three to Lebara, because I was sick of the price hikes. Unfortunately, the 9-month deal I got through your link has inexplicably expired after just 2 months! I'm awaiting a call from a supervisor at Lebara. Let's hope they fix this.

@TPScheme You can't help me over the phone, either! You have my money, I would like it, but you won't give it to me. Perhaps my MP will have more success.

[Local Festival-Goer @Local_Fest_Goer]

@TPScheme Do you seriously think I haven't done this already?

[Local Festival-Goer @Local_Fest_Goer]

@TPScheme I've done all of the above, plus raised several complaints and have now escalated the matter to my MP, but you still haven't paid me my lump sum or any monthly pension payments.

[Local Festival-Goer @Local_Fest_Goer]

@TPScheme Answer: Wait 6 months & hope that @TPScheme might, one day, give you your pension. At least, when you do finally give it to me, you are obliged to pay all the lost interest (although I suspect it won't be at the rate I'd have been earning in my savings & investment accounts).

@bear_biggest @TPScheme My employer had changed my login email, from my personal one, to my school one. I had a proper meltdown, as I had just been awarded ill-health retirement and thought someone had stolen it all. It's ridiculous that @TPScheme allows others to change members'details.

[Local Festival-Goer @Local_Fest_Goer]

@TPScheme I'm more interested in knowing where my pension is, now I've retired. It's almost 6 months, but I'm yet to receive a penny. Phone calls make no difference & complaints take 3 weeks. If RSS is accurate, why's it still with the accounts dept? Disgraceful!

@MichaelRosenYes @PrivateEyeNews If you hadn't tagged @PrivateEyeNews , I might not have understood the significance. I never liked using Read, Write, Inc - but then I never really liked the published schemes for any primary subject. Why can't teachers be allowed to teach children what they need any more?

@BookBub Or you can join BorrowBox through your local library and read all books for free. You can even listen to audiobooks for free, too.

With fewer than 2% of packed lunches meeting the same nutritional standards as school meals, it’s time for @WesStreeting to listen to health professionals and deliver #FreeSchoolMealsforAll for every primary school child in England. @NoChildBehindUK @NEUnion @Preston_NEU

[Local Festival-Goer @Local_Fest_Goer]

Today, healthcare professionals are calling for hot, nutritious school dinners for every child in primary school. Medical experts say this will lead to improved health and well-being for children. @WesStreeting will you back #FreeSchoolMealsForAll? @NoChildBehindUK

[Local Festival-Goer @Local_Fest_Goer]

@CatSmithMP please take note. Your @UKLabour party is very likely to be in government by Friday morning. Our children need you to step up. You've pledged your support to reverse school cuts, now put your money where your mouth is.

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

In 2010, the UK spent above 5% of GDP on education, the OECD average. Today, it's just 3.9%. The damage caused to education needs to be reversed.

We are calling on the next govt to make education its priority.

@BD_GUT_HEALTH We are very disappointed to discover that your kefir drink original does not actually contain live bacteria. If it did, we would have been able to use your culture to make our own kefir, as we have been doing for years from other kefir manufacturers. Disappointing!

📢Our education system is broken!

Buildings are crumbling, colleagues leave in their droves and our children suffer because of it.

🗳️I pledge to #Vote4Education on Thursday🗳️

RT if you agree with me! #GE24 #VoteEducation

Wow! Is it true @GillianKeegan, that the STRB has recommended more than inflation, but you intend not to honour it?

Is that what you are hiding?

@SiobhanHead Brilliantly put, Siobhan! Political vandalism, indeed.
