    Dear @thetimes please stop referring to the penalty charged on Mr Zahawi as a penalty for tax avoidance. It isn’t. It can’t be. There is no tax penalty for tax avoidance if it is successful because it is not illegal. The penalty was for submitting an incorrect tax return. 1/2

    A few SPM’s got in touch today but there must be lots more out there-One lady got in touch after hearing about us on @carolvorders radio show. We advised her and as a result she will be around £7,500 better off. Please try to find those needing help. subpostmasterstax.org.Uk

    1. Stayed sane leaving my family home of 25 years to downsize. 2. Nursed my beloved husband through to the best death that I could (from cancer at 59). 3. Still here, just about, and focussing on my 5 kids who need me.

    Also, please stop with the knock @HMRCgovuk comments. If the NHS is saving lives, the civil service is working hard to save the economy of the UK. And it will not be appreciated by most because it is invisible. But I would personally like to thank @HMRCgovuk staff for their work

    I’m pushed with tax returns for clients but if any affected subpostmasters need help I will help FOC. Please will others with the appropriate skills also volunteer. Better still if one of our larger ICAEW firms would open their doors to affected SPM’s that would be wonderful.

    Just finished watching the drama about the #PostOffceScandal. I needed to do piecemeal as I found it too emotional. Mum was a subpostmistress from about 1958 to 1980. Thank God she retired before this but I kept thinking ‘It could have been her. 1/2

    In preparation for my daughter’s funeral next week I have been looking through poems she wrote to me over many years - since she was about 8 years old. This one reduced me to absolute floods of tears but is the most beautiful thing I have ever read. I’m so thankful.

    Richard your tweets lift my spirits. You smile ‘though your heart is breaking’ and are so calm and dignified. Lost my husband 5 years ago and my daughter 3 weeks ago. You keep me going, thank you.

    Well it’s a really busy week for me. And tomorrow evening I will be on the telly with Martin Lewis answering questions on tax and hoping to demystify for viewers. Looking forward to it! Will make a change from talking to accountants. @MartinSLewis
