@HMRCcustomers Tom

Hi my question isn't about my pension it's to confirm their payment to me on the 6th April 2027 will be treated as income in the 2027-28 tax year and not the 2026-27 tax year.

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@HMRCcustomers Hi just realised that my state pension which starts on the 25th August is paid every 4 weeks. So is my last payment for the 2026-27 tax year on the 9th March as the subsequent one is on 6th April 2027 which is the first day of the new 2027-28 tax year?

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

Hi I've changed personal pension provider can I add them as an income provider?

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

Hi just read your piece on Black Sabbath the album Technical Ectasy doesn't get a mention. Where do you placebit in their discography?

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@josh_jackman Hi just been reading your post on best SEG rates on the Sunsave site. There seems to be an error in that the table under ScottishPower where you list Best import tariff as E.ON Next Drive Fixed V7!

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@Grepsul Jonathan hi just read your fascinating article. Towards the end you speculate about the impact of Net Zero on ageing assets. In the incidents recorded is there any correlation with EV charging load or the dirty power frequency angles?

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@BBCJustinR Hi just read your article on curtailment. Wondered how LDES might change that picture? If those resources were deployed strategically around the grid either near the generation or where current grid is restricted then power could be moved and stored!

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@LejeSvend @DrSimEvans And that's just batteries there's more innovative LDES solutions that this money could help like Highview or RheEnergise.

@Ragcha @DrSimEvans Chris Hi try this link REF are a charity with no stated political affiliation. Unfortunately social media is full of partisan sites spreading FUD. The new Seagreen farm is affected worst probably lack of grid capacity from Scotland into England.

@TorbenSchust @DrSimEvans Most people don't even want a Solar plant near them so they'd be over the moon with a Nuclear plant. Never mind batteries blowing up. Imagine a nuclear disaster like model Chernobyl, Fukushima, 3 mile Island, etc. And that's not even taking into account bad actors!

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@Ragcha @DrSimEvans They call it curtailment it's criminal. In 2024 8.3 TWh of wasted energy and a direct cost to consumers of over £393 million!

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@kaya85kaya @DrSimEvans Probably because they are the worst CO2 per kWh produced. We keep slating China for using them so it's kind of refreshing to give up the fuel that gave birth to the industrial revolution.

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@DrSimEvans So how do we marginalise the marginal gas? Is the grid failing to use the other stored energy sources effectively or our the CCGT owners playing the market?

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@MartinSLewis It's disgusting that investors will be penalised for investing in safer cash ISAs. It's a fundamental right within the investor community to communicate your risk profile and your advisor to adapt your investments to suit. Forcing people to take higher risk ISAs is just wrong.

@Samanth85593555 @carolvorders Glad to see Trump pays his taxes then towards keeping the US afloat hence his transparency when it comes to tax returns. If people really think he's looking after their interests and not his more fool them.

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@iamogidigidi @KShevchenkoReal I've heard of appeasement before WWII how did that work out?

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@engineers_feed They're truly a global organisation then?

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@EdConwaySky Ed nice to see the Trump administration has not read your book & thinks the material world isn't like it actually is. Hope other countries will keep Canadian Aluminium plants going. Given the lead time on nuclear plants I wish the US all the luck in the world making their own.

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@NavarroThinker @Tesla Not recent innovation though in terms of car models.

[Ron.Rapp @ron_rapp2]

@BritainRemade Hi attached is a map of all the Onshore wind projects in planning, awaiting construction or under construction source DESNZ! As our cheapest form of renewable energy not great to see a big fat zero on the map!
