@dmcbfs This is what I raised with the SOS yesterday. The most vulnerable people face a delay in payment and lack of security around ensuring only they can cash it out.

Government doesn't seem to have a scheme to address it: they're just demanding the energy companies do. It's a mess.

@dmcbfs The issue is cashing out. Placing credit on the account is fine. Cashing out if people need the money for gas/oil is not.

If everyone with a DD account sought to cash out at once, the system couldn't cope.

Those on PAYG are even more complicated as there's no way to verify ID.>

@Spanglor I had the same issue this morning, but it now seems to have been fixed.

@Ljfyfe @PoliceServiceNI Just stating facts. Sorry that bothers you.

And I'm defending the police who are not my boss.

RT @MAN_IN_DERRY: Coercive Control: When someone repeatedly does things that make you feel controlled, dependent, isolated, scared.

32% of domestic abuse victims were male in the past year.

We're here to support you.

@RemoveTheRoom @HarriettmooreB2 @CahootsNI @JunctionAntrim @NickDMathison is working on the uniform issue, too. Bespoke items are raising the cost, and families are really struggling.

RT @PeteKrykant_OPC: Great to meet @DannyDonnelly1 & @PaulaJaneB of the @allianceparty in Belfast on Monday & discuss how to reduce drug harms & deaths through whole systems approaches & great to hear their support for a health led rather than criminal justice approach.

@RJCAROLAN1 The photos are so cute, though! We all wanted so much to believe, despite the poor costumes and sinister vibes.

@Jim26667578 There used to be superb windows in Anderson & Macauley's and Robinson & Cleaver's. They were an actual experience in themselves!

RT @PatriciaOLynn: Thank you @BallycastleInt1 for the invitation to their annual Nativity Play with a twist!

As the only integrated PS in a 21 mile radius, this school is a beacon of inclusivity modelling what could be possible for education across North Antrim.

Well done Mrs McGuigain!

RT @micky_murray: The last few months of the previous Assembly mandate there was so much talk about the need to #BanConversionTherapy

7 months later & there’s been zero progress on banning this torturous practice.

There’s so much potential in devolved govt, but so many wasted opportunities.

@BladeLisburn @PoliceServiceNI It's not. But I agree that anyone involved should feel the full force of the law.

@MartinG1492 I remember that! Think that was later though.

@Mackie36590853 I also had one of the match "muffs" for keeping your hands warm.

Now, if you say you had a fluffy muff people look at you in horror...🤣
