Are you ready for this?
Our Govt paid £2.6bn for 5 migrant ships over 2 years
And yet…
The general cost to charter the most luxurious Royal Caribbean cruise ship for 2 years
Inc fuel, food, staff, etc
For 5614 people (double our migrant boats’ capacity)
Is $832m
Or £643m.
Unbelievable scenes in London today. In excess of 50,000 teachers demonstrating for fair funding and pay restoration.
As @cyclingkev said today "We strike for our children"...
This could've been avoided, had @GillianKeegan followed 🏴 + 🏴 and made a meaningful offer.
Absolutely incredible turnout at today’s protest in London!
Teachers, doctors, civil servants, university workers and more striking together.
We demand fair pay for ALL 👊
#EnoughIsEnough
Come on to feck!
Did you have any idea the strike march was this big?
Where the hell is the media coverage?
On the day we had another budget for the rich, impartiality would be showing ordinary people marching against austerity!!!
Taking the piss!
What did Labour get wrong during the pandemic asks Kuenssberg. WTF, they weren’t in government Laura. The Tories had an 80 seat majority and you played a big part in helping them achieve that with your biased reporting.

The UK has 2.4 hospital beds per 1,000 people. Germany, 7.8; OECD EU average is 5.
One reason why patients wait in ambulances and corridors; and the death rate from Covid is one of the highest in Europe.
Tories under-investment has destroyed the NHS.

I’ve thought about this overnight and it’s clear that a lot of people are finding it very difficult to watch Matt Hancock on #ImACeleb
If he really wants to show viewers the human side of politicians, maybe he could leave the show & donate his £400,000 to the NHS.
If you're repelled by Matt Hancock pratting about on I'm a Celeb, & think he should be at work in his constituency where people are struggling to put food on the table then #followbackfriday.
More people voted for Matt Hancock to do the bushtucker trial tonight than voted for Rishi Sunak to be prime minister
We live in a completely normal country
MP pay 2010 £65k
MP pay 2022 £84.1k
28% rise & real terms rise of over £4k
same period nurses pay down 8% against inflation with real terms pay cut of £3k
RT if you think MPs telling nurses they don’t deserve a rise are taking the piss
#EnoughIsEnough
The lines are drawn
RT if you are with the striking nurses, posties, telecom workers, rail workers, civil servants, lecturers, teachers and call centre workers
RT if you are sick and tired of all workers being told no as profits, dividends and CEO pay spiral
Enough is Enough
Average London rent £21,984
Average food bill £4,500
Average utility bill £1,500
Total 27,948
Average nurses pay £27,055
A nurse can’t even afford to live a decent life in the UK
I will support their strike action
RT if you will too
