What if I told you we could slash £200 off every household's energy bill? Right now, the companies that own the pipes and pylons - most of them foreign-owned - are raking in 40% profit margins, while energy retailers are capped at 1.5%. It's modern-day robbery...

Lee Anderson helped kill THOUSANDS of pensioners during Covid under Boris Johnson, made households £1000/year poorer via Brexit, then told them they could cook meals for 30p...

And now he's moaning at ME for the £300 #WinterFuelPayment being cut!?!

Many of the people in this photo ran on a manifesto in 2017 that promised to cut winter fuel payments.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

it is quite astonishing when you think about it.

For the next three months all of the money from your water bill will be spent on nothing but debt interest payments and dividends.

Not fixing the sewage system, not securing London's water supply, not providing a better service but greed, proffering and financial engineering.

And what was @Ofwat doing when all of this was going on?

Here’s a wee treat for ya. Have a nice weekend.

[Jack Stephens @iamjackstephens]

When you artificially restrict ticket supply by holding dates back, and then dynamically price tickets for that restricted supply, before going on to announce additional dates...

it's hard to see how that demonstrates anything other than contempt for your audience

[Barnsley FC Stats @BarnsleyFCStats]

Privileged to play at WorldNet this summer with the lads from @BarnsleySFC.

Highlight was scoring a free-kick against Man Utd. But just happy to still be able to play at nearly 39.

Play for as long as you can and for as long as you enjoy it. Whatever level. It’s a great game.

@sid_lambert This is the comeback tour we actually do want.

Hoddle was just about to sign for Monaco so this really was "it's goodbye" to Waddle and spurs

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

Hi Tories, you do know your manifesto commitment was to ban all smoking by anyone born after 2009 and that Sunak praised this as a world-leading initiative that would ‘save more lives than any other decision we could take’. You know that, yes?

Great news. Noel and Liam to reform Oasis.

We've joined 240 organisations in signing @RefugeeTogether's letter and saying that violence has no place in our society. We know the vast majority of people in this country agree.

This cannot be retweeted enough. Another crucial example of the Tories merdeas touch.

These are just some of the tweets that were put out by GB News presenter Darren Grimes in the run up to the general election.

The same channel that is now accusing the left of inflaming racial tensions in the UK

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

Remember when Darren Grimes threatened that if people got to vote on the Brexit Deal, nazis would roam the streets punching people?

Politicians sacrificed democracy to appease people like him, and here we are.

If you give the far-right an inch, they'll burn down your city.

[Refugee Action @RefugeeAction]

Our thoughts are with all racialised communities and migrants who are being terrorised when they should be feeling safe.

When successive Governments and media dehumanise people with toxic language such as invaders or illegals, and champion cruel policies, the far right feels emboldened and legitimised.

It’s time our political leaders recognise how divisive language, and racist policies result in this violence.

The scapegoating and political exploitation of migrants including refugees must end, and our representatives as well as the Home Office must unequivocally stand with people who choose to rebuild their lives in the UK.

The government must take all precautions to ensure migrant and minoritised communities feel safe across the country and Parliament must be immediately recalled to prepare for a complete shift on narrative, policy and practice on migration.
