Labour rightly & noisily are waving a big stick at the water industry over sewage pouring into our rivers & on to our beaches

But they ignore the key point: privatisation has failed. Water is an essential resource & should be in public hands as it is everywhere else in Europe

Closure of 800 libraries

Tories - the kind of people who don't just want more for themselves, they actively want less for everyone else .....

😡

The government has stood by whilst Windrush victims die without seeing a penny of justice.

The Windrush compensation scheme is a scandal in itself.

From its inception, it was clear that it should have been independent of the Home Office.

Water company bosses in England award themselves over £25m in bonuses/benefits despite dumping sewage in rivers, lakes and seas.

Rewards for destroying health, marine life, biodiversity and picking our pockets.

No new reservoirs built since 1989.

Scam.

The enemy is not the brown man on a boat, but those who tear apart public services while charging record taxes for the privilege; those who systematically remove our rights and freedoms and insist it is the will of the people; those who plunder the state...

How is it that only 5 months ago Rishi Sunak gave Tata Steel £500m with a promise of 4,000 extra jobs, and now they fire 2,800.

While he does and says nothing?

[Emily Thornberry @EmilyThornberry]

I asked the Cabinet Office two weeks ago why Peter Bone was able to claim a £5,593 ministerial severance payment when he was sacked in September 2022, despite being four years over the age limit.
Still no answer, either to me or @MirrorPolitics.

“It’s so cold I have to wear gloves so it’s hard to hold a pencil” says an 8-year-old

What a shocking indictment of 14 years of Tory rule & what it’s done to our schools. An election can’t come soon enough  https://t.co/3GDYT2QA30

The government that allowed Suella Braverman to claim £25,000 in second home allowance while living rent free with mum and dad is planning to fine rough sleepers £2500. I do have that right, don't I?

@MichaelRosenYes @CrednesCodPeace Bring back Bookstart as it was before we lost the funding to the Dolly Parton book project.
We used to have staff funded to read in the community,every child received 3 packs of books @ 9 M, 2&3years.
We had the system,it was working.

We've had 5000 days of Tory Rule today 😳 I've done some maths
🔹Since May 2010, the
NATIONAL DEBT HAS INCREASED,
on average,
by a staggering
£380 MILLION A DAY
- EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR #5000DAYS

Which begs the question....
Where has all our money gone?

I wouldn't trust the Tories with my shopping list, let alone the economy 😡

FACTS
David Cameron became PM, after Gordon Brown, on May 11th 2010, 5000 days ago.
In June 2010 he said the national debt was £770 billion (other sources quote £903 billion, but I'll use HIS £770 billion for the calculation)

By end Nov 2023 the National Debt had grown to a colossal £2,670 billion (Source:ONS)

That's an increase of £1,900 billion.
Divide that by 5,000 days of Tory Rule and gross mismanagement.
It means an increase, on average, of c£380 million every single day for 5,000 days.

A short history of British Steel

Labour nationalised steel after the war in 1945

The Conservatives sold it off 1952

Labour renationalised steel again in 1967

By 1987 British steel was profitable and had doubled productivity since 1979

Conservatives privatised it in 1988

The @UKHSA has declared the UK's soaring no. of measles cases a national incident.

Measles can - and does - cause brain damage, disability & death.

If you’re thinking of not vaccinating your kids, please, please chat to a nurse or doctor.

The anti-vax movement is deadly.

Yesterday I was visited by a man who’s been referred to see a cardiologist after a concerning scan.

The wait time? 93 weeks.

He won’t be seen until late *2025*.

That’s nearly two years of uncertainty, worrying things may be getting worst.

An election can’t come soon enough.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Rishi Sunak told Beth Rigby "That's not what the Public wants."

When asked about a General Election.

Like if you want a General Election
RT if you really want one.

Liar Rishi Sunak has to go.

[Clainy @Clainy6]

The Tory party have given away
500 million to Tata.
37 Billion for a T&T system
60 billion for HS2
100s of Millions on P.P.E.
10s Millions on Furlough
Lost 40 billion because of Liz Truss's budget
Billions handed to Fujitsu.
Fuck me, they have the cheek to say don't trust Labour

[Trevor McArdle @McardleTrevor]

At the beginning of the year Rishi Sunak (who has been Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Chancellor of the Exchequer & PM) said, “judge me on my record”

OK, let’s do that 👇
