So some real context

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Martin Daubney, "What would you say to people like Lee Anderson when they say: I want my country back"

Peter Tatchell, "Of course no one has taken our country away from us.. The campaign for Brexit promised when Brexit is done we would have control.. All of the problems they highlighted have got worse since Brexit" @PeterTatchell

"Corporate greed is ruining this country. Privatised companies are fleecing the public with hiked prices, poorer service and yet we are all expected as tax payers to foot the bill"

"There are 171 billionaires in our country. Their combined wealth is over £700 billion. They could easily afford to pay 1% tax a year to help support public finances. But they're refusing to do so as they're not patriotic and they're too greedy"

Martin Daubney, "You've blame Brexit, big business and billionaires. But a lot of people would say that what's changed about Britain are other things such as for example uncontrolled immigration"

Peter Tatchell, "Over a million people are dependant on food banks.. You can't blame asylum seekers or small boats for that. They're not the ones who have caused the economic crisis. We've had a government that has mismanaged the economy for 14 years. They've given tax breaks the very rich while penalising ordinary people. It's just not fair. That's what we have to change"

These are literally just tents. They bombed tents.

[Joel Jenkins @boganintel]

More bombs on Gaza than in Dresden WWII, more than the bombing of Hanoi in Vietnam war, more journalists killed than any conflict in recorded history, more dead civilians than 20 years in Afghanistan, more dead children than every global conflict since 2019.

Genocide.

[Lowkey @Lowkey0nline]

Israel told people inside al-Rantisi children's hospital to evacuate.

They came out waving white flags and then the Israeli military shot at them.

🚨 | NEW: Rishi Sunak has SCRAPPED the cap on bankers' bonuses which will benefit the rich at a time many households struggle with the cost of living

[Scully @isthatscully]

apathy is lowkey worse than anger, because think back to the last general election & Brexit, which were both lost by FINE MARGIN…your voice counts, use it when it matters, or spend the next 4 years screaming in anguish.

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

what Israel is preparing to do now in Gaza will be worse than its genocidal campaign in 2014, when they indiscriminately mass murdered 2310 people, including 550 children. This was their official policy, to kill anything that moves. I repeat: They mass murdered 550 children

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

In 2009 Israel bombed Gaza over several days, killing over 1,300 people (including 460 children). The BBC refused to broadcast the Disasters Emergency Committees appeal for aid to Gaza. This was Tony Benns response live on air:

And I know parents who work multiple jobs just to put food in the fridge for their kids. Why should they fork out 3 billion a year to subsidise private schools for the wealthiest in society?

When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

Rishi Sunak lies

Eating meat tax doesn't exist
New flying tax doesn't exist
Compulsory car sharing doesn't exist
Mandatory insulation upgrade doesn't exist

Mind you, a recycling bin each for

Dozy, Nasty, Sweary, Dodgy, Greedy, Shouty & Bully

at GE is a grand idea 👍🏼

algorithm is dialed the fuck in now

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

UK Govt is transferring another £2bn of wealth to banks from us by today's 0.25% hike in interest rate. Millions will suffer.

Banks received tax cuts last year.

Govt could levy a windfall tax on banks but refuses, says it can't find £1.3bn to alleviate child poverty.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Infosys, the family firm of Sunak’s wife, made $1.5 billion from a BP contract months before Sunak announced new gas and oil licences.

Infosys is still trading with Russia.

Yet they claim those shoplifting to feed their babies are criminals.

We should be fucking rioting.

They're laughing at you.

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

UK public debt:

Jun 2023: £2.6tn, 100.8% of GDP
Feb 2020, £1.791tn, 79.1% of GDP
May 2010, £1.03tn, 65% of GDP

Squandered on perks and tax cuts for the rich/corporations.
No new industries started. Public services destroyed.
Taxes at 70 yr high.
14.4m Brits living in poverty.

From the Guardian this morning, one chart to tell you all you need to know about for whose benefit the economy is now run:
