Dear @trussliz / @RishiSunak the cost of living crisis has left millions worried how they'll make ends meet.
I'd like to formally invite you, as the new PM, to join me asap once you take office for a special hour's @itvMLshow discussion/Q&A to answer/ease people's concerns.
Oh just fuck off, Kate. Just fuck off.
This rose tinted bullshit seems to be the exclusive preserve of butt hurt boomers who are more upset they can't call foreigners names than they are that children might starve.
If your day was so great, why are you all such hateful cunts?
Perhaps it would be wise for people to redirect their anger towards those (@ofgem@BritishGas@ScottishPower@10DowningStreet) that are inevitably fueling the rage, despair and helplessness we are ALL feeling right now. You do a great job @MartinSLewis thank you.
Taking a deep breath to return to twitter (in prep for tomorrow's almost certainly hideous price cap rise).
Must admit returning is raising my anxiety levels. After time away u realise while many on here are kind, there's also a weight of abuse & aggression that's hard to face.
Utterly disgraceful exit speech … selfish; self-centred, narcissistic, poor me the victim, no regrets, no fault, no mistakes, no apology, no resignation.
Someone posted asking for recommendations for a poem to read at a wedding. This was the 1st reply I saw. And, oh god, does it resonate. Life isn’t the insta-perfect moments, it’s those simple mundane moments of contentment. That’s where love truly lives.

This is unsustainable not just for individuals but our society as a whole. We should have the rights and freedom to stay warm, wear clean and dry clothes and put food on the table for our families. It really is not too much to ask. #CostOfLivingCrisis
I put £80 on my electric meter 6 days ago. I live in a 1 bed flat with 1 storage heater on. Because I've used my washer twice and plugged an oil radiator in this morning my electric has just gone! Something has to give soon bloody hell
@AlisonTarrant Thank you. Kinship is viewed definitely as less by SW but it's always first choice, even if not suitable. My grandparents are documented as saying they were struggling and needed help but none came.
Thank you for fighting for your grandkids, wishing you all the best ❤️
@Ant_Vaughan Thank you for such an insightful dive into your progression. As someone right at the beginning of their SW career, I find it so interesting to research different paths and passion projects. Wishing you all the best in your new role.
There is no cost of living crisis. It is a figment of our imagination. A hoax.
What we have in the UK is a rampant virulent cost of greed crisis. The profit makers are out of control.
Today – as the Tories let the cost-of-living crisis intensify and push people into poverty – MPs are getting a £2,200 pay rise.
I've rejected this and am donating mine to the local foodbank and groups supporting refugees.
Ordinary workers need a pay rise, not well-paid MPs.
