THE biggest story right now is how @Nigel_Farage took bribes to subvert UK elections and influence policy to the benefit of foreign crypto scammers. Please share, lest we forget.

Zack Polanski. Incorrect council tax, paid. Fair enough. He's agreed to pay the money owed. Keir Starmer strung up like a kipper. Nigel Farage. Dodges taxes, gets a £5 Mn gift - barely a whisper from the media. The hypocrisy is truly outrageous. #BBCBreakfast #r4today #SkyNews

Great @itvMLshow last night on all things pensions. Particular thanks to @MartinSLewis for the shout out for @WeAreGretel - tens of thousands of viewers signed up and millions matched as a result! Amazing result and one of our busiest hours to date!

Following the appearance of our CEO @DuncanHStevens on @ITV news last Friday, Gretel matches jumped from £2m to £5m in just 3 days. We have been overwhelmed with the response since we were on @ITVTonight with @Chrisitv. The jump clearly demonstrates public demand for the service.

@WeAreGretel CEO @DuncanHStevens was on @itvnews this evening updating that we’ve matched >£2.1m with @ITV viewers since appearing on @ITVTonight last week. 60% of the public want companies to share data centrally. Let’s make it happen!

The scale of this problem is truly eye-watering as this programme reveals. Delighted to see the fantastic @Chrisitv and the team at @ITVTonight shining a much needed spotlight on this and helping to guide people on how to find their own forgotten fortunes.

What a year 2023 has been! Forging new partnerships, winning new clients and working with our great investors have made this year one to remember. We're excited for 2024 but for now, plan to enjoy a few days of downtime! Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey!

More amazing news from ⁦@ofgem⁩ 🙄 Perhaps you should be encouraging suppliers look to their shareholders to support the business and take some pain via lower dividends, rather than adding more pain to those that can’t afford it 🤔 bbc.co.uk/news/business-6708…

2 x unsolicited cold calls from @O2 in the same day! One at 15.49, the second at 20.43. Told the first one I’m in a contract but clearly that didn’t make any difference. Since when is this okay? @Ofcom sort please!
