[Putting Carers on the Map} seems to be the mantra this year - who the hell put this memo out for this ? This quote ( cringe worthy ) needs to be added to Bingo Real Carers Week for future ref . Stop it , just stop it #RealCarersWeek #CarersWeek

Hi Ryan from HSBC I have already raised a complaint about this specific instance and awaiting response. The problem is nationwide and bank wide hence question to twitter

[Roberta Taylor @retaylor_]

Not all banking can be done online or phone. For eg bereavement you have to go into a branch. HSBC Sheffield is closed. Nearest branch Doncaster. Furious. How can we stop closures? #HSBC #Sheffield @_OliviaBlake @HSBC_UK @SheffCouncil @Jeremy_Hunt @JamesCleverly

I second that. Took my 91 year old dad who was gripped, and I bawled my eyes out.

Had 50% of my pay deducted in Jun-Jul. My workload is 125% (c 450 unpaid hrs) & I lose 80hrs of annual leave I can never take. Year-on-year. So, I work for free a lot & yet am docked for participating in action short of strike. The system is broken and so am I #settlethedispute

[UCU @ucu]

Just going to pop this iconic moment back up to the top of everyone's threads.

It NEEDS the hashtag ✊ #SettleTheDispute

Tory government's priorities are wrong.

If they get their way only the richest students will be able to study cultural subjects.

Sunak was able to study philosophy, the government should stop trying to deny working class people the same opportunities.

@r4Today poor reporting on @ucu #MAB this morning interviewing a (understandably distressed) student who is so poorly informed about the disputes and nature of strike and ASOS and then letting her claims stand without correction.

[Jo @LakeDistrictJo]

@Nito_Onna_Helen @HiltonHotels Absolutely shocking. @HiltonHotels you need to address this quickly and publically before you are boycotted by female customers, many of us travel regularly on business and won’t want to stay anywhere that something like this is allowed to happen.
