@BarclaysUKHelp Thanks Mel. I'll keep using my non-barclays cards for day-day use for the moment

[Ravi Patel @goldfishbrains]

@BarclaysUKHelp Hi, when will Google pay be supported for MasterCards? I have my Barclays Visa debit finally added, but would like to be able to use Barclaycard MasterCard on my phone/watch

[Ravi Patel @goldfishbrains]

@SMARTYMobileUK Thanks, is there any ETA? We need to use data on our phone through the day for work. If it's not going to be stable soon, we need to plan more office days or get an alternative network sim for a while

[Ravi Patel @goldfishbrains]

@SMARTYMobileUK we've been having this all weekend and data is unusable. When will it be fixed, driving us insane. Thanks

[Ravi Patel @goldfishbrains]

@ThreeUKSupport Just seems you update me the timestamp every 60 mins

[Ravi Patel @goldfishbrains]

@ThreeUKSupport when will data services be fixed? Driving me insane

[Ravi Patel @goldfishbrains]

@ThreeUKSupport Yes, but the same service status is shown on both three and smarty

If there's a reason to uninstall Twitter today..

[Steve Krenzel @stevekrenzel]

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.

in 2016, only 47 British MPs & Lords held an Irish passport
- by 2021, that figure went up to 227
- in 2022, there are now 321 of them with an Irish passport

Our ruling class seems to have remained in Europe. People next?

@DeborahMeaden Thought you were waiting for the applause?

Feeling for the understaffed @GiveBloodNHS team at Twickenham Stoop today. Looks like they're running 1-2 hours over, and the few staff here looking stressed.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Nadhim Zahawi, has been sending threatening letters to people investigating his tax affairs. The letters are designed to intimidate & say they're confidential and can't be published.

One was sent to me. I am publishing it. https://t.co/QxvZFoKiuu

[Ravi Patel @goldfishbrains]

Great, they've started again

Not sure I appreciate the cathedral bells ringing out for the last 20 mins since 7am.

@EUMarauder @Etienne_Sheff I had my own house keys at 6. I had a child minder, but hated going to her house. If she wasn't at the school gates, I'd just go home by myself. A different world now

[Ravi Patel @goldfishbrains]

@asimpleopinion @Barclaycard Exactly the same here. The advise seems to be to take out an amex/other card, close your Barclaycard, and maybe reapply in 6 months - you may be accepted. Seems such an odd way to reward customer loyalty.
