@thehistoryguy Genuine lol

Dear @hmtreasury @darrenpjones

Please can you launch an investigation and possible prosecution of the Conservative Ministers who misappropriated hundreds of millions of our taxes to film videos for their social media channels.

Misappropriation of public funds is a financial crime, under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 which defines financial crime as including any 'offence involving fraud or dishonesty.'

Gina Miller - a UK taxpayer

Repost if you agree!

@thatginamiller @ProfBrianCox It was just a techy joke about Windows software being particularly unreliable in the 90s.

@TheNewsAgents @Victoria_Spratt @maitlis @jonsopel I don’t think the analogy of iPhone prices and house prices works lol. And help-to-buy was a demand-side intervention which was pushing up prices. Silly comments.

Election Special 4: The Conservatives.

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

Turns out if you attack disabled and sick people and remove all community support, and cripple the healthcare system that makes them well you end up spending more on benefits. Who knew? Literally anyone who has worked in any community.

[Full Fact @FullFact]

We've written to @Conservatives to ask them to remove the “Tax Check UK" rebrand of @CCHQPress. This misrepresents posts on the account as an impartial fact checking service. Voters deserve better.

Another development: me and @bbclaurak can now reveal that the Conservative Party’s Director of Campaigning Tony Lee, is also being looked into by the Gambling Commission over an alleged bet relating to the timing of the general election. https://t.co/YaLXiozpt8

My thoughts on today’s dark anniversary - 1,000 days since teenage girls in Afghanistan have been banned from school by the Taliban.

Women are also forbidden from most public places, barred from universities and restricted in almost all job sectors.

@thehistoryguy The Conservative Party has never been this bad.

If you’re a criminal, police aren’t resourced to arrest most of you

If you’re unlucky to be charged, courts take several years to deal with you

If you’re convicted, prisons are told to release many of you because they’re full

If you’re a Tory criminal, they give you an honour

IOM Ukraine are raising awareness of the increased risk of #humantrafficking after the full scale Russian invasion. The hotline number is 527. https://t.co/9IuPdO8g3t

[IOM Ukraine @IOMUkraine]

For several months, Kyiv-Kharkiv intercity train, trams and buses will inform Ukrainians about the risks of getting into situations of exploitation and human trafficking in 10 🇺🇦 cities. Informational campaign “They Used You” is funded by @usaidukraine and @SwedeninUA.

A reminder that the disastrous Liz Truss mini-budget cost the U.K. £30 billion. That’s more than 50% of the defence budget.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

A shocking but sadly unsurprising indictment of the government’s devastating mismanagement of the criminal justice system.

Record delays, a record backlog, and absolutely no plan by @RishiSunak to fix it.

No plan at all.

There has never been a better time to be a criminal.
