@robprogressive Newsflash mate your £4K doesn’t even cover the cost of your bin collection and the disposal of its contents never mind the other things it has to pay for including police , fire services, homelessness services, social care, playgrounds libraries etc - educate yourself

#Starmer and #Macron should cancel their visit to Washington, tell #Trump to "Fuck Off" and tell him that Europe won't recognise any behind the scenes deal done with the evil Soviets without Ukraines agreement.
So sad that Americans have turned overnight into Grade 1 bastards!

Private school is around 10 THOUSAND A TERM. You CANNOT "make a few sacrifices"/"work hard" and have a spare THIRTY THOUSAND A YEAR <per child!> It is a complete myth and I cannot stand to hear it ONE MORE TIME. It's not "normal families working hard" and "prioritising education"

[BettyBoo @BettyBoochichi2]

Quite remarkably @SkyNews have posted this 13 minute video which gives context to @metpoliceuk’s interaction with Gideon Falter. It shows a Police Officer being extremely polite and patient with Mr Falter, as he consistently ignores their explanations as to why he can’t cross the road and repeatedly tries to do so, despite being offered a reasonable alternative. Watch for yourself and decide just who should be the one being criticised right now. https://t.co/mz966WtrRg

This is so true.

But please RT if you’re not prepared to let the NHS go without a fight.

Man in blue jacket, "14 years.. The NHS is broken.. Councils are broke.. Water companies take record profits while they poison our rivers.. UK-based companies aren't paying their taxes.. And you're saying that the Tories have done a great job? I'm sorry sir, but you're deluded" #BBCQT

Liz Truss has decided to take her full £125,000 a year ex-PM pension for life.

Of course she has.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Today @UNICEF published a report ranking UK worst among the world’s richest countries in child poverty levels - in other news today @RishiSunak tells MP’s

“We will always continue to reduce child poverty”

If you are as sickened as I am RT these FACTS widely

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Northern Ireland Secretary on Rwanda Bill proudly tells @SkyNews “You can no longer use parts of the Human Rights Act”

Just think about that

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

For crying out loud! How many times do I have to debunk this absolute boll**** about the success of the vaccine rollout being benefit of Brexit! IT’S WASN’T! ! If you think @BBCNews need educating RT this as widely as possible

Counting the kids. Children killed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from 2000 until today. https://t.co/w5KMXolwsm

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Today I can share I'm challenging the PM on the legality of abandoning key Net Zero commitments

I believe the timeline for the UK to meet Net Zero cannot be changed at will by the PM – I contend that he does not have the legal right

The ball is in your court , Prime Minister

[Paul Lewis @paullewismoney]

Gillian Keegan authorised a £34m revamp of her offices in April to provide “improved lighting and a muted colour palette” together with a quiet room and a modernised kitchen just at the time when schools were being asked about concrete problems https://t.co/6KvOzqLVzc

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Sunak had a genuine chance to return government to a place where wrongdoing has consequences. Instead, he reappointed Braverman. https://t.co/qIVWDwCJn7

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

So much smearing & belittling of consultants in the press, but this, from today’s @thetimes letters page, could not have put it more beautifully.

Pls RT if you agree.

"Our wealth is being transferred to the super rich. The oligarchs are running the country right now and they're running it for their benefit, not the benefit of the people. There is a stench of corruption in this society."

Important....
Please share and spread word. This is important for anyone who has a non-smart electricity prepayment meter (it doesn't apply for gas or smart meters, then its automatic) - which includes some of the most vulnerable in society.

The stakes are high in the #RCNStrike ballot. Wherever you stand on striking, it is essential you vote.

If you do one thing this #RCNDayofAction, post your ballot back and ask all your colleagues to do the same.
