@gavinwhite76 @ManCityCouncil Why do we not build beautiful homes anymore? Dull style, tiny windows.

Honestly feels like some sort of prison extensions

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@AvonandsomerRob Yeap when I worked at Tesco over 12 years ago we were asked to do exactly this.

@MoyesB0y My grandads been saying he’ll be dead next week for easily the last 15 years

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@LoftusSteve Should easily be obtainable to make that 365 days

@Floridagirl0850 Why are you using a machine to dry your laundry? You stick it outside on a line to dry and then it’s free

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@MartinSLewis @MartinSLewis Did you lobby against this or are you also supporting the geritocracy of we now live in.

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@profsked I believe it’s any uninvested cash stored in a stocks and shares isa. It’s not 23% against isa in general

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@KirstieMAllsopp For me, it was the council. They took multiple weeks to respond to the emails from my solicitors let alone produce the documents

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@MartinSLewis Haggling with insurance and broadband providers etc every year or two is just exhausting.

Loyalty should be rewarded and no claiming on insurance also

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@HuntersofPutney @MartinSLewis @DrRosena @itvpeston I remember specifically we were told that it would always be a repayment like a phone bill. Also we were told we’d never notice the payment in our salary.

This is the issue, schools didn’t explain all the caveats

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@HuntersofPutney @MartinSLewis @DrRosena @itvpeston It wasn’t explained about interest. We were told it would be minimal, never explained how it would get more expensive per salary etc

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@HuntersofPutney @MartinSLewis @DrRosena @itvpeston Yes and that was never explained to us at school

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@HuntersofPutney @MartinSLewis @DrRosena @itvpeston Not true. The initial rate was 3% when I started and ended up 12% during Covid

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@HuntersofPutney @MartinSLewis @DrRosena @itvpeston Yes if interest is less than inflation. It’s been more for 99% of the time I’ve had the loan

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@HuntersofPutney @MartinSLewis @DrRosena @itvpeston To be honest I don’t believe the government should make money off my education.

The sooner I pay it off, the sooner that money goes back into my local economy. Which I believe is much better spent than the government

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@matkinsj I already live in the countryside and it's being slowly destroyed by the 1000s leaving big cities. Developments of 1000s of houses not in keeping with the area, lack of integrated transport, doctors etc.

So to be honest we don't want them here either

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@SteveReedMP When did we all become inept? Surely everyone knows how to keep safe in the heat

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@Dan4Barnet You’re in government, you decide the rules and whether to accept any outside recommendations

[Chris Beldam @ChrisBeldam]

@GavinBarwell If it’s good for the economy, then there is more money for the government to subsidise energy bills. So it’s a no brainier to drill as much as we can
