I don’t want tax cuts. I want the ambulance to arrive. I want good schools, public transport and town centres. I want investment in jobs, education and people. An extra tenner a week is no good to me when society is falling to bits.

What kind of government wants to scrap inheritance tax for the rich and make everybody else sell their home to pay for social care?

[TechnicallyRon (On all the platforms) @TechnicallyRon]

Party of arseholes. No policies but hatred and bigotry. There's a cost of living crisis and none of us can afford anything but yeah let's focus on cars and denying people healthcare.

This is the hottest we have ever observed.

The Mediterranean is now completely outside all previous records. We have never measured this level of heat across the basin at any time of year.

It is only July. We usually see the annual maximum in August.

🚨NEW: The planet is burning & Sunak is asleep at the wheel. He should attend #COP28, help secure global agreement to phase out fossil fuels, & get serious about abundant & affordable clean energy here at home.

If you are worried someone is having suicidal thoughts, the most important thing you can do is to ask about suicide in a clear and direct way.

Try to avoid judgmental language so they know they can talk honestly about a difficult and stigmatised subject.❤️

£245,000 so far WE have spent on Johnson’s lawyers to defend him against the privileges committee so that he isn’t kicked out of parliament

Let that sink in.

The Treasury says they didn't sign off on these expenses being paid, SO WHO DID?

Sunak? https://t.co/taJVwFPWbB

[Kit Yates @Kit_Yates_Maths]

No, no, no.

It doesn't work like that.

You don't get to lower our life expectancy AND raise our retirement age.

Government ‘to cut £250m from social care workforce funding’ in England

The reality of this appalling criminal Tory government...

Kicking the vulnerable
Laughing at the infirm
All the while lining their greedy corrupt pockets

The police have arrested what appear to be peaceful republican protesters in Trafalgar Square. It’s in everybody’s interests, especially the Met’s, that they explain exactly why as soon as possible. No matter what you think about monarchy, this is a deeply disturbing moment.

When a lettuce outlasts a Prime Minister, we have truly reached the endive days

[Prof Nisreen Alwan 🌻 @Dr2NisreenAlwan]

There are so many families who will struggle so much with this. Essential life needs like food and heating are threatened. Mental health undoubtedly affected by such dire living circumstances. Who’s looking out for the people while the government is in chaos?

For months, we've seen new subvariants emerge that outcompete their predecessors. Instead of growing to dominance, they've been overtaken by EVEN MORE competitive descendents within wks.

So while we don't have a single new baddie, we do have a nasty (& worsening) variant soup.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

We have told the government we do not have the capacity to meet the health demands of the public during this winter of crises.

They don’t care.

They have decided to do nothing to ensure the public have access to emergency care this winter!

As I say, they simply don’t care!

NHS nurses are the very best of Britain - yet they could hardly be treated worse by this government. No wonder they’re being driven to strikes 😔https://t.co/fL0h8BSztT
