Calling this a 'technical error' feels rather disingenuous.

[Office for Budget Responsibility @OBR_UK]

A link to our Economic and fiscal outlook document went live on our website too early this morning. It has been removed.

We apologise for this technical error and have initiated an investigation into how this happened.

We will be reporting to our Oversight Board, the Treasury, and the Commons Treasury Committee on how this happened, and we will make sure this does not happen again.

Our Economic and fiscal outlook and supporting documents will be released when the Chancellor has finished her speech.

Trump's humbleness is truly remarkable. Just a quiet, modest president trying to improve the world 🙃

Juries are randomly selected members of the public. Men and women from all walks of life and all political backgrounds.

Only a moron of irredeemable proportions would even think of suggesting that a jury verdict represents some deep state “two-tier justice”.

@SW_Help The National Rail site is not redirecting to you for ticket purchase and using your website also throws up an error. According to your customer service team there is a problem with your ticketing site

[David O'Keeffe @djokeeffe]

It seems that newly renationalised @SW_Help is unable to sell tickets online. No idea when the problem will be fixed either.

Four years for attempted murder. Why is using a car as a weopon seen as less serious that, say, a gun or a knife?

Finally saw this powerful play on Monday, Jodie Comer's performance was truly brilliant.

Thanks to everyone who has joined us to see this fantastic show in cinemas💗

If you haven't seen Prima Facie yet, there's still chance to catch it before it leaves UK cinemas tomorrow!

Still trying to find out from @GWRHelp why the cheapest ticket the machine at Crowthorne station would offer me for a recent journey wasn’t actually the cheapest that should have been available. Machines should offer the full rage of tickets, especially when station is unmanned.

[David O'Keeffe @djokeeffe]

Hi @GWRHelp once again the ticket machine at Crowthorne station (no ticket office) is not offering the full range of tickets. Had to overpay, again.

@virginmedia I just want a service that works.

[David O'Keeffe @djokeeffe]

I can only conclude that @virginmedia trains its customer support to be totally unhelpful. That level of total uselessness across (now) 4 individuals cannot surely be coincidence?

[David O'Keeffe @djokeeffe]

@virginmedia I've pretty much told you what's happened. By the way, 2 more calls to support this morning because the replacement Pod has stopped working. Different info yet again.

[David O'Keeffe @djokeeffe]

@virginmedia Pod being activated remotely, then deactivated because the replacement order wasn’t cancelled (despite categoric assurance it had been), reactivated (after a lot of pushing from me), then it’s deactivated again. As I say, useless.

[David O'Keeffe @djokeeffe]

@virginmedia Trying to get a WiFi Pod. 1st one didn’t work properly (not helped by the instructions being incomplete). 4 calls to Support (that’s 8 calls really because you have to call twice to be able to speak to a human), different story each time, one directly incorrect statement, 1/

[David O'Keeffe @djokeeffe]

@easyJet I have resubmitted (4th time now). I have a screenshot to prove I have spelled my own name correctly. I look forward to confirmation that my claim is being processed. Thanks

[David O'Keeffe @djokeeffe]

Trying to claim compensation from @easyJet for a delayed flight. They are not making it easy! No record of the booking apparently, what did I expect!

[David O'Keeffe @djokeeffe]

@easyJet Hi, sorry, I’m confused. Are you saying I put ‘Davide’ on the claim form? 3 times? I know I didn’t.

[David O'Keeffe @djokeeffe]

@_easymanager_ Already shared number with customer service

[David O'Keeffe @djokeeffe]

@_easymanager_ Can’t DM you, not sharing number on open tweet

[David O'Keeffe @djokeeffe]

So it wasn't a case of @HMRCgovuk or @JimHarraHMRC (belatedly) listening to feedback, they were just overruled.
