Unfair Higher Income Child Benefit Charge. The charity @Gingerbread are writing to MPs about the unfairness, as I've been campaigning on it they asked me to support. I have. Here's my added quote

"Even the Chancellor had to agree with me, when I put it to him, that the High Income Child Benefit Charge is an unfairness in the tax system."

"It penalises single parent and single income families unfairly. It was by far the biggest single topic the public wanted me to put to politicians."

"The problem is exacerbated by the frozen £50,000 threshold which fiscally-drags more single parent families into this situation each year. It staggers me no party has latched onto the popularity they’ll get from pledging to ends this structurally unfair anomaly.”

@MartinSLewis Anyone earning £60k (with children)pays 40% tax on on 10k and also loses child benefit also minus national insurance…if you are the sole income this is devastating…you walk away with around 2 k in your pocket for 10k worth of work/overtime. This puts pressure on the family

[Ricky @CornishCracker]

@MartinSLewis It does need addressing, I earn 54k a year and my wife earns 10k a year and I have to pay back 40% of child benefit. Yet two parents on 49k a year don't. Ridiculously broken.

@a_clark90 Ryanair do! @Ryanair used this tactic to not give me any refund or compensation due to a cancelled flight

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@DSS123 @askryanair Well @askryanair have me £1600 out of pocket due to cancelled flight and refusing to pay me any compensation so I’d take your 4euros and run!

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

This is unacceptable. If you run a sport at any level & allowing thing, hang your bloody head in shame!

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@PolicyExpert Thank you for replying. I did eventually get through trying a different number. Thank you

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@PolicyExpert I want to cancel my autorenew but I cannot get through on the phone. How do I cancel my autorenew? There doesn’t seem to be an option within my account to do so?

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

Really want to watch Paris test event @BritTri but have to purchase a subscription to watch - such a shame. Would get more people interested in the sport if easier access to watching it

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@3Ryanair Many thanks. I have done so :)

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@Ryanair I have been in email conversation for you with weeks now about a claim but all of a sudden you seem to have stopped replying. Can you please put me in touch with someone as the claim is not resolved? Thank you

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@5liveSport @britishswimming @BBCSounds Why no @BBCRedButton at least?

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@britishswimming @WorldAquatics Is the live viewing link working? I can’t get it to play

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@BBCSport @britishswimming @sharrond62 where can we watch the world swimming champs?

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

Ryainair sending me round in circles to try and claim for my refund and compensation doesn’t deter me, only makes me more determined to get my money back. Dont mess with me!! 🤯😡

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@virginmedia thank you for the help :)

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@virginmedia how do I contact someone to speak to? Everything online is just FAQs, I want to speak to someone? Thank you

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@virginmedia Thank you - let me know the link and I’ll join :)

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@virginmedia Yes sure

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@virginmedia We couldn’t speak to an agent, hence original tweet - it was all automated options.

[Kat Berry @tri_berry]

@virginmedia We need a new cable laid - it’s bee cut through - we have an engineer booked but I wanted to make sure they know that’s why we have no signal before they arrive
