@FurkanGozukara Just because he says it, doesn't make it true.
The top 1% holds roughly 20-ish% of the country's wealth. This has barely moved in the past 20 years.
The issue is a very basic productivity and supply and demand issue.

Paul Dacre, Editor-in-Chief of Associated Newspapers Limited, has released an extraordinary response to today’s High Court victory against Prince Harry and six other claimants…
“Poor Harry,” he says as he decries the duke’s “sad book”.

@KayBurley No 👏🏻one 👏🏻 cares 👏🏻

[Francesca Leslie @FranEMarshall]

@GarySpedding @jan_murray Really weird hill to die on, Gary.

[Francesca Leslie @FranEMarshall]

@_RestoreRangers Probably because it was lunchtime in Australia at 5am in the UK.
Now leading every major news website in the UK.

@insiderlauren Since when did breaking an embargo class as an "exclusive"?

[Francesca Leslie @FranEMarshall]

@UKLabour THEY'RE NOT FREE YOU BLITHERING IDIOTS. WE ALL PAY FOR THEM.

[Francesca Leslie @FranEMarshall]

@RachelReevesMP They're not free though, are they? Taxpayers are paying to feed other people's children. It's legalised theft at this point.

[Francesca Leslie @FranEMarshall]

@ApsanaBegumMP @RMTunion What exactly do they feel is currently unfair about their working conditions?
I'd argue they are some of our most overvalued workers, globally.

@thetimes exclusive: Zack #Polanski admits he did not vote in local elections.

Office cleaners, hospital porters, shop workers?
Those are the people you hurt.
Your greed and selfishness continue to stagger me every year.
There are people in the UK that deserve sympathy and help right now. You are not on the list.
3/3

[Francesca Leslie @FranEMarshall]

I know that @RMTunion @TfL don't care about my opinion on the #tubestrike - but here they are anyway.
Having lived in London for the last decade during various strikes it's become obvious that the strikes really just punch down on low paid workers.
1/3

[Francesca Leslie @FranEMarshall]

Those on good salaries can usually afford to order taxis, jump in their cars or on bikes or simply work from home.
You're trying to make a point to ministers - they're not on the tube trying to get to work.
But what about those working shifts around the clock?

This is a brilliant - bleak - piece about the broken local politics of Birmingham. First class on the ground reporting by @alexrogerssky @JoshGafson1

These pieces aren’t easy - you only get footage like this with skill, graft and luck - please watch:

[Francesca Leslie @FranEMarshall]

@HSTIKKYTOKKY4 Theroux did an excellent job highlighting how low IQ all those involved were. Extremely embarrassing for both the men and women featured.

[Francesca Leslie @FranEMarshall]

@zarahsultana Then just go to Greggs. The end. You're actually exhausting.

[Francesca Leslie @FranEMarshall]

@narindertweets Just have a day off. So boring.

[Francesca Leslie @FranEMarshall]

@narindertweets You need to make your mind up. One minute the UK is racist and full of far-right extremists. And today it's inclusive and no one bats an eyelid.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

I watched this movie last night. Incredibly powerful and inspiring.
Might have been wise for all those gobbing off about the BAFTA
N-word saga to have watched it too before making so many shockingly ill-informed comments. I'm looking at the likes of you, Jamie Foxx!

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

To those MPs planning to spend the next few months banging on about Venezuela, I have some advice.

Go to your nearest town and LOOK AROUND.

Our country is in deep shit. Britain needs its MPs to be focusing on OUR problems, not those in South America.

OBVIOUSLY.
