I have just been speaking with the IPC on another matter and they have informed me that regarding your LC, they will accept a letter from your Thai bank (where payments are credited) that you are currently the account holder, signed and stamped. Therefore, the witness declaration can be left blank.

Correct

Again, if your UK pension is delayed by several days (remember to take into account any US bank holidays whilst you payment travels through the system), call the IPC (preferably using SKYPE) and your payments will be reinstated, albeit 10 days later. They will email you a duplicate LC for completion and give your 16 weeks to return a completed LC, For your information, one of my other pensions is with L&G in the UK. L&G sent me a secure message and requested security questions to prove that I was still in the land of living which I answered, to which I replied again by their secure messaging system. The whole process took several minutes. The International Pensions Centre please wake up.

#BREAKING: @EctThailand has ratified all 500 MPs-elect (400 constituencies, 100 from the party-list) from last month’s After today’s ratification of all 500 MPs-elect, the new parliament must convene within two weeks to elect a new House speaker (and their deputies), who then sets the date for joint-assembly vote on the new Prime Minister. Regarding the complaints against 71 MPs-elect, the @EctThailand explains that they can’t process those within the 60-day-limit it needs to ratify all results. So, they approve all MPs first and can still investigate all complaints against them within a year after that. https://twitter.com/SaksithCNA

The ruling was only today therefore how can it be 'old news'?

Yes it usually is a lengthy delay but you will get through eventually. They will ask you some security questions, reinstate you payments and send you by email a duplicate life certificate. Good luck

Have you returned your complete Life Certificate or didn't you receive one? I would give the IPC a call on : +44 (0) 191 218 7777.

We may get some rain later. I hope not as I'm giving the parrot a bath.

There would be very little protein in that small helping.

Correct. Out of time/groundless This photo is better suited to the individual. What a clown. https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1668489297203462144

(1/3) Both leaders of Bhumjai Thai Party Anutin Charnveerakul and Phalang Pracharath Party leader Gen Prawit Wongsuwan denied on Tuesday they or the party had anything to do with the alleged conspiracy to revive ITV in order to disqualify Move Forward PM candidate Pita. 2/3) A Bhumjai Thai MP candidate posted on social media in advance without naming name a politician will face an axe due to his ITV shares.
