@HMRCcustomers is there a online chat for PAYE matters? If so, how is it accessed? Thanks

[Jane Young @theyoungjane]

@martinebbc Great to see you back on BBC News. Used to love the way you did the papers!

Just thought I should highlight to anyone buying this "junior doctors are doctors in training" tripe, most of my major surgeries, pretty much all of my consultations & follow up treatment has been carried out by junior doctors. They are vital to the NHS & all patients.

.@MelJStride @Jeremy_Hunt Many disabled people will be unable to work if #PIP is means-tested. Wheelchair-users have HUGE additional costs because wheelchair-accessible vehicles are SO expensive. If I lose #PIP due to means-test my finances will be unsustainable!

[Dr Steph Driver @driver_steph]

@vix_the_star @vickyfoxcroft Take away PIP from working people and fewer disabled people will be able to work, it’s that simple.

@edfcustomers I've been trying to submit my meter via the new form since Friday. But after I fill in the boxes for the reading & the date all I get (either on phone or computer) is a blank white screen, even after waiting a few minutes. Is your website not coping with the volume?

[Billy Misanthrope @notesfromspain]

Honestly. What sort of fuckwit would go trotting into the polling station in 2024 and put a tick next to ‘Conservative’ after all this? The mind truly boggles.

[Real Britain Ros @realbritainros]

Take this in Liz and Kwasi.
You have made *THE RSPB* angry.
One million members now mobilising against your dangerous policies, on behalf of nature.
A bond of solidarity between people + birds strengthened over lockdown.

[National Trust @nationaltrust]

We’ll be working with other nature charities and supporters to defend important protections for nature long into the future.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

I woke up thinking of all the public services we've been told by the Tories we can no longer afford.
Miraculously, in these straitened times, it turns out we can afford a massive bonus for the very rich AND a massive gift to the fossil fuel companies.
Austerity was a con.

Tories gambling with the finances of British people, says Starmer https://t.co/0Ljal1Cctp

.@DamianGreen Please don't allow this to happen to our beautiful Kent countryside! Once our countryside and wildlife are destroyed there's no going back. Absolutely terrifying!

NEW:

Letter from Lord Geidt toughens language on why he quit

He says he “could not be party to advising on potential law breaking”

Admits his resignation letter may have been too cautious

@JoHardiman90 @DrinkRobinsons According to @DrinkRobinsons we're in a minority 😭

[Jane Young @theyoungjane]

@DrinkRobinsons please bring back your Strawberry and Kiwi flavour. It's been my staple drink (ie multiple times a day) for about 3 years as the combination of great flavour & low calorie was absolutely perfect. What's the business case for discontinuing such a popular flavour?

[Jane Young @theyoungjane]

@despoir_ @DrinkRobinsons I so agree with you. I don't understand why such a popular flavour would be discontinued 🤔

[Jane Young @theyoungjane]

@DrinkRobinsons @KhadijehHedges Oh no, it's the only flavour I really like!! I could probably have kept it a best seller all on my own, lol. So, so disappointed as it was my staple drink until it disappeared 😭

[South East Coast Ambulance @SECAmbulance]

Selfish parking seriously impacts our ability to reach some patients quickly, esp in popular coastal areas. On Sunday it took this crew twice as long to reach a seriously ill patient at Camber. Pls park sensibly! @RotherDC @EastSussexFRS @SussexRoadsPol @EastSussexCC

[Philippa Thomson @PhilippaThomson]

@JolyonMaugham @Sarah_Montague I consider you an excellent interviewer, but I & many others totally agree with @JolyonMaugham about this - the Gov had LOST the case. As listeners, we'd be forgiven for not understanding that. PLEASE, why can't the #BBC hold the government to account???
