Well done Joe for cementing the "one rule for them, another for the rest of us" sentiments which the populists are leveraging. Great job, you fucking idiot.

"@AndyBurnhamGM is going to be disappointed".
Transport Secretary @LouHaigh says HS2 will not run to Crewe, adding that "phase one will be delivered, which is Birmingham to Euston".

Rachel Reeves is handing public service pensions to the private sector. Not surprising. Labour have handed everything to the asset managers who will continue to squeeze "shareholder value" out of every person on these islands.
We're being farmed.
@EstefanoWorth@sylviehj Working people's share of GDP has fallen since 1975, and this trend accelerated after the 2008 financial crisis.
Read a book to find out why.
The King wants to "celebrate" his birthday by opening two foodbanks. Poverty tourism.
Instead of opening foodbanks - which shouldn't fucking exist in the 21st century - he could use his considerable influence and wealth to ensure that foodbanks don't *need* to exist.
@HModinraven @haviland_lee If it were the parents then this chart would not exist.
Foodbanks are a direct consequence of austerity. Read the HoC report - and stop victim blaming.

@HModinraven @haviland_lee Our children got shorter because of austerity.
OUR CHILDREN ACTUALLY GOT SHORTER BECAUSE OF MALNUTRITION. IN THE 21ST CENTURY.
What the fuck is wrong with you??

@DiariesEmpire "no government has ever been any good at helping them".
A lie. Foodbanks grew explosively in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. They exist because wages have fallen, living standards have fallen, and inequality has grown.

Israeli arms firm Smartshooter says its high-tech gun sights are “one of the most useful new items being demonstrated on the battlefield” in Gaza. The British army is now using these sights.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Not only are you a liar, you're a terrible one. If it was Net Zero driving the cost, all of Europe would have much the same prices. Instead it's UK over-reliance on gas for generation, huge bungs to the nuclear sector, and profiteering by fossil fuel companies you refused to tax.
There were six months between Brexit vote & Trump’s election in 2016. I watched to see if US economic nationalist would change UK public opinion. It didn’t. Why ? Because Brexit & Trumpismo are similar: manipulation of aggrieved voters by rich men for their own benefit
