Tesco has 20,000 employees on their basic £13ph
The majority of these claim income support.
That taxpayers money should be deducted from Tesco's annual pretax profit of £2.4 BILLION
We should NOT all be helping Tesco shareholders.
Same for ALL major low pay employers.
BURNHAM?
@Helen_Whately I look forward to the reduction in unnecessary tax funded benefits being removed … starting with every penny you claim in living expenses.
@JayneMoobs@EdwynCollins I had the pleasure of spending an evening in the company of Edwin and Grace once, and two funnier, warmer or more wonderful people I couldn’t have wished to meet.
@EdwynCollins@GraceMaxwell
🇬🇧 MP: "In the past 24 hours, Israel kidnapped a colleague from my party."
BBC's Fiona Bruce: "When you say 'kidnapped,' they're being held. Is that right?"
🇬🇧 MP: "You can't arrest anyone in international waters! Call things what they are."
🚨 BREAKING:
Actress Miriam Margolyes condemns Israel's treatment of Palestinians:
"I did not betray my people. They betrayed the principles of Judaism, which have always been filled with compassion."
@nypost Looking forward to the NY Posts campaign to encourage and support Native Americans to remove all (historical) settlers from their indigenous lands.
Would you leave the banks of one of the ancient rivers of London looking like a rubbish dump?
@EnvAgency would.
When they sent investigation teams down to the Aldersbrook earlier this year to threaten local volunteers with two years in jail for restoring the river without permission, they didn’t even bother to look at the the piles of junk and hazardous materials (including oil and fuel) on the abandoned allotment plots next to the river. Even worse, when I asked them to remove the rubbish and restore the brook themselves (given local volunteers aren’t allowed to do it) they refused. So their plan is, apparently, to leave the river to die and to prosecute anyone who dares to try & restore the river.
However, local river guardians are not waiting for permission to do what the authorities have failed to do. In the absence of the EA, the local authority or the landowner doing anything about the waste on the banks of the Aldersbrook, we’re going to start cleaning it, ready for the full restoration of this section of the brook later in the winter.
