@KatharineMerry hi Katharine, just curious what don’t the stadium records include any of the performances from the Commonwealth Games in 2022? Surely they count as stadium records.

@smokymozzarella Thanks for the tip @smokymozzarella they might be understating Jade as it’s only using her PB in pentathlon from 2021

[Mark Pattenden 🔶 @marsimpat]

@James_Athletics @Se_Railway No guarantees, but I suspect that there will be lots of us trying the same this morning

@smokymozzarella Sam is rewriting history here, a month before the Oregon World Champs he was injured and had decided he wasn't going to compete according to his agent

@StephenWi11iams Congratulations Councillor Williams, well done

@HMRCcustomers I am currently on my second call to HMRC, the first cut off after 45 minutes, this one has lasted 55 minutes and still nobody has answered. Is anyone answering calls today? It’s now after 6pm, will it still get answered?

@jonwillchambers Which Ireland lead 4-1

[Mark Pattenden 🔶 @marsimpat]

@jonwillchambers Surely the standard Eurovision tiebreaker is how many 2nd places?

@__twmill She’s not old enough to have even tried yet - minimum age requirement in the US constitution is 35, she’s only 33.

@smokymozzarella Which decathlete’s secret agent code name would be danger noodle?

@TfL @MegJoJo26 Hi GG @tfl Glad you could reply to Megan, how about replying to any of the messages I have sent you this morning?

[Mark Pattenden 🔶 @marsimpat]

@TfL is anyone actually staffing your social media today?

[Mark Pattenden 🔶 @marsimpat]

@TfL how long is the diversion at Eltham High Street due to last? Been here watching the 161s disappear off the display board for well over half an hour now.

[Mark Pattenden 🔶 @marsimpat]

@TfL what is going on with bus route 161? Eltham High Street re-opened half an hour ago and yet the buses are still be diverted away. Why?

[Mark Pattenden 🔶 @marsimpat]

@OctopusEnergy how is it that you can offer people instant attention and replies on Twitter but can’t reply to either of the emails I sent on Thursday or this morning? I’ve been a loyal customer for many years but customer service has been going downhill recently.

@thameswater Shocking to see this is still leaking a month after it was reported. @thameswater You gave me a job number and said it would be fixed asap. How can you lecture people about hosepipes and allow water to pour from this leak for over a month? Appalling waste

[Mark Pattenden 🔶 @marsimpat]

Hello @thameswater water has been flowing from this pavement leak in Sidcup Road SE9 for the last week. It was reported last week but nothing has been done. When is it going to be fixed? Such a waste of water

[Mark Pattenden 🔶 @marsimpat]

Trickle down economics doesn’t work and has never worked, but yes by all means give the top 1% huge unfunded tax cuts and hope that this time it might just work. This Tory government really has run out of ideas and is just on a smash and grab before the next election

[Mark Pattenden 🔶 @marsimpat]

@faisalislam Interesting reference blaming the NIC increase on “the previous government” in the Treasury press release. sorry but this is the same Tory government just different Tories in charge

[Mark Pattenden 🔶 @marsimpat]

Loving the reference to “the previous government” in this press release - not buying it. It was a Tory govt under Johnson and it’s still a Tory govt. changing the PM doesn’t give you a free pass to deny responsibility for what happened before

[HM Treasury @hmtreasury]

Chancellor @KwasiKwarteng has announced that this year’s 1.25% point rise in National Insurance and its replacement, the Health and Social Care Levy planned for April 2023, will be cancelled.

A tax cut for workers, while freeing up cash for businesses to invest, employ and grow.
