The budget hit the private sector yet again, particularly pensions by severely limiting salary sacrifice. And yet the eye wateringly expensive public sector final salary schemes remain untouched

@Monevator Ppl will just invest 20k into a s&s isa then on 6th April do a previous tax year transfer into a cash isa

@LiborSmolik Won't people just deposit 20k into a s&s isa then the following tax year just do a partial ISA transfer into a cash ISA?

@virginmedia Can I ask that you chase up a response to C-1007255119 please. Tried 150 but states unable to connect your call. Possibly as the area needs WiFi calling but that's not available due to the problem.

More @virginmedia outages in NE16. Regular dropouts and outages now been ongoing for 3 months. Complaints dept no longer reply, it's as though they accept that the service just can't be fixed.

@virginmedia From time to time? The last comms I rcvd from virgin complaints on 6.8 confirmed 156 dropouts in the month. I am trying to get a reply to exit the contract as I need a reliable service. C-1007255119 is the complaint ref.

@virginmedia The problems that Whickham residents are encountering are intermittent so not actually covered by the compensation scheme. Open reach connected areas of Whickham a couple of months ago so at last we have more choice.

[alan @hutcha53]

@virginmedia the service status part of your website continually states there's a broadband issue at ne16 4qr, Whickham. This has been a problem for two weeks. When will it be resolved?

[alan @hutcha53]

@virginmedia @virginmedia this afternoon, the fix time got extended once again. This time to 9th June. Are you able to provide any assurances that this is not going to be extended any further?

@StokeyyG2 Size is a relative concept so the modulus of the values should be taken for q2. 90+% respondents are actually incorrect.

The Premier League is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sir Bobby Charlton, one of the greatest players in English football history.

Our thoughts and sincere condolences go to Sir Bobby’s family and friends, and to all at Manchester United.

After a summer of wildfire and floods, and records broken here in the UK, yesterday's announcement is barely fathomable. Future generations will ask why, after these stark signs, the government would put this country’s global leadership on climate change into reverse.

Fairness should absolutely be central to any change, but it is not fair that our children will have their future blighted by the poor decisions made today. It isn't fair that businesses that have invested heavily in pioneering green technologies and the jobs of tomorrow will have to put their plans on ice, nor that changes in policy endanger our much-loved cultural heritage and natural environment, undermining everything from food security to our health and wellbeing. And it isn't fair that the poorest in our society will lose out most in the future.

Progress towards Net Zero must be sustained, not kicked down the road for political expediency.

We urge the Prime Minister and his Government to rethink.

Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @BECTU press accreditation visible around my neck.

Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

"If we chant not my king on a public street today, we'll be removed for public nuisance. Is that what you're saying?"

"Maybe."

There should be no maybe.

This is not what a democracy looks like.
