@monzo any chance you can answer the phone, call me back or just reply to any of my messages?? Over 48 hours since I reported fraud and 000’s being stolen from my Monzo account and still you haven’t had someone speak to me about it. This is ridiculous. @financialombuds @Moneybox

From today, wearing a face covering is now a personal choice in England.

For the safety of our colleagues and customers, please continue to wear a face covering if you can.

Thanks for your continued support and understanding.

@imaginecurve hey, could you give me back my £ that was refunded rather than holding it in your points please? I didn’t agree to it, and it was paid for with £ not points...not OK.

@Squarehighways What about cyclists turning left? You’ve left no way for cyclists to get into the purpose built cycleway...our light goes green, we then we have to get through pedestrians. Perhaps you can change the light timings to allow this....

[John Lewis @johnlewis]

You've been asking about the John Lewis advert, well here it is...

@TwitterUK gave me a starring role in my very own Christmas #ad

[Parody Ken Clarke @MrKennethClarke]

I've been sat up in bed for hours, whisky on the bedside table, soft jazz playing in the background, trying to think if I've ever worked with a more idiotic bunch of self centred bastards in my nearly 50 years as a MP.

Nope, still can't think of any. Time for another bottle.

@Windrushtriclub because you're the best!

"Wake up, your phone keeps buzzing."

I sat up, I was not on call, I looked at my phone. Two missed calls and a text from NHS-NoReply

I dialed the given number and punched in the code, rubbing my eyes.

[Patti Murin @PattiMurin]

Talking about suffering from any mental illness is the first step, and also the most difficult.

Let’s change that.

My name is Patti and I suffer from anxiety and depression. I take 100 mg of Zoloft every day to manage the depression.

Congratulations! (And start shorting the S&P 500 - the next recession is closer than we think.) https://t.co/loOZr0KmOv

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Nobody but the tragic handful of families who have had to attend court proceedings to litigate whether their child lives or dies can begin to imagine what Alfie’s parents are going through. That is I hope obvious, but worth bearing in mind. This story involves real human lives.

[Ben Daniels @benmdaniels]

Just about to try out @MidnightRunn3rs for the first time....back into running properly....

[jo 💖 @jo_bazz]

This is the first time I’ve seen @TfL advertise the ‘Please Offer Me a Seat’ badge for mental health and I think it’s really cool & good.

[Ben Daniels @benmdaniels]

It arrived! Perfect reading for a flight to the US this weekend! @BarristerSecret #TheLawIsBroken. Excuse the simcard- I just want a #BarristerBunnykins @Jimmy329. It’ll look great on my, erm, windowsill?

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Good morning Twitter!

In what will go down either as social media's greatest ever public service or an excruciating, tumbleweed attempt at organised fun, I shall be spending the rest of the morning acceding to requests to offer razor sharp legal analysis of popular songs. 🎵

[Patrick McGee @PatrickMcGee_]

God I love @FT readers sometimes
