‘Labour’s tax raid is the worst crisis I’ve seen in farming’ https://t.co/Uqry6OcZ0V

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

In 2019 Angela Rayner said the WASPI women had their pensions stolen and that Labour "will compensate them". It's "their money". Does Rayner still believe this?

Clarkson: After this, 96% of farmers will pay IHT.

BBC: Where did you get that figure from?

Clarkson: From the same place Rachel Reeves does, from the middle of her head. From the 6th form debating society she was a no doubt a member of which shaped her opinions and yours.

It’s time for a national mass protest march by rural communities. We’ve been inundated with so many people who want to do this. It’s time. Livelihoods are on the line.

Great to see our local MP out in the community. Shame he has turned comments off on his tweet though 🤔

[Tom Rutland MP @Tom4EWAS]

A great weekend in the constituency including 6 hours of surgeries, held in Worthing and at Shoreham Farmers’ Market, as well as over the phone.

Lovely to chat to many residents and pick up some incredible cheese at the market!

Hi @Tesco your app has been really slow and laggy over the last couple of weeks. Also got 4 x text reminders yesterday when usually just one. Tried to tell you this via Facebook chat but your chatbot was taking 10min to respond and then crashed.

Morning run with the prime minister. Sharp change from the morning runs I have got used to over the last year🤣

It was a massive privilege to get the opportunity to run with the prime minister yesterday and poke my head around 10 Downing Street. Something I’ll enjoy telling the grandkids about when I’m an old boy.

Also spent the evening at @officialbhafc with my dad and grandad who were absolutely buzzing to see me make an appearance pitch side. Big thanks to everyone at the club who gave us an incredible evening despite the score line. Onwards🫡

At this point, if you’re still digging into your #KateMiddleton conspiracy theories, you probably need to give your head a wobble and go outside #GetWellSoonKate

@NikkiEriksen12 Racism is racism. We will call it out in all its forms.

[Worthing @WorthingTown]

This is racism.

Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.

Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya.

I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times. It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team. I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them.

May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss. I am sure I will see you all soon.

Love Si x

@hazel_thorpe A very worthy cause, but look at the absolute state of the war memorial. Disgraceful!

@SkyHelpTeam Your loyalty is much appreciated so much. So we are increasing your bill by 10%

[Worthing @WorthingTown]

@LozzaFox Hope this helps

[Worthing @WorthingTown]

@KingBobIIV You will be taken to court and you will lose. Many have tried and all have failed. You can even be imprisoned. Ironically, when you are in prison you are not liable for council tax…unless you are in prison for non-payment of council tax. Friendly advice. Don’t waste your time.

Pls share. The new PPI?

HUGE announcement from @theFCA this morning that has gone totally under the radar. It may mean a pay-out for millions who bought a car/van on Motor Finance before 2021.

I’ve done back of the envelope numbers and at the top end this could be PPI type scale (that was £40bn), big enough to be a form of Quantitative easing (so real consequences for the next govt as it’ll likely take a year).

It is to look at the handling of complaints about commissions when people got motor finance (pre 2021). Two big Ombudsman cases revealed today indicate that firms are falsely rejecting complaints and the FCA is now to do a full review of complaint handling.

The FCA wouldn’t do this unless it was likely to find they were doing it wrong. So my suspicion is when it finishes its investigation it will (in order of likelihood) set up either

a) A redress scheme where it orders all the firms to pay redress to every effected customer even if they've not complained.
b) Redress rules where it orders them to pay out redress based on a set formula, to those that complain

The pay out would be either the interest on loans (which is big), the commission (which is big), or the whole loan (which is huge). We're possibly talking thousands back for many.

Clearly this means getting complaints in if you were mis-sold is going to be crucial especially if they choose scheme b) and there is a cut off involved.

It should be noted part of the announcement is the FCA has put a freeze on firms handling complaints for now, so if you complain now they don’t have to do anything, but my provisional thoughts are it is worth people who think they’ve been mis-sold getting in a complaint now as a marker.

So my team and I will be working on a full guide on how to do that which we’ll have out in the next couple of weeks to talk you through this step-by-step. Please watch this space and share with people who may have been impacted.
