When Covid strikes, Neil is unable to sign autographs or pose for selfies.

Now managing Middlesbrough, he fills his bum bag with signed photos and hands them out to young fans.

Nurses work 12hr shifts; sell their days off; use food banks; pay £1300 a year to park. And 40,000 have left their jobs in a year.

Tory MPs sit for 150 days; get subsidised food; claim travel & energy on expenses; get free parking & £2,200 pay rises.

Back the nurses please.

If profits reach a 70 year high & wages reach an 18 year low then you have a greed-price spiral, not a wage-price spiral.

Current inflation is greed. Corporate greed.

BBC wants to be seen as rigorously impartial, it cannot apply the principles of impartiality selectively.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Sadly nurses and teachers can’t get any more money because that’ll cause inflation…

Thankfully Shell fat cats and shareholders get that magic money that doesn’t cause inflation.

Carol Vorderman rips into Rishi Sunak on #ThisMorning.

"Rishi Sunak co-founded a hedge fund... that invested £1b in Moderna shares... & he has refused to say whether he holds assets in the hedge fund & therefore Moderna... so are we talking about insider trading."

Imagine me trying to sack Nadhim Zahawi for avoiding £3million in tax when my wife avoided £20million. No, I can’t either.

[Alex 🤠 @JohnnyDisco_dj]

Yep, feel really sorry for those of you who could sit at home, don’t know how you coped.

@JohnnyDisco_dj Had to read this twice to make sure it wasn't directed at me 😅

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

A pay rise in line with inflation for ALL public sector workers would cost around an extra £12-15bn.

An annual 1.5% tax on any wealth above £5m would raise £16bn.

We can afford to give people a proper pay rise. The Tories' refusal to do so is a political choice.

[Dan @biscuitmanDan]

How does Boris Becker get a jail term for tax evasion but Nadhim Zahawi just gets to pay the £3m tax he owes with no further consequence? Yet it's barely even mentioned in the MSM?
UK isn't a normal country at all, corruption is rife.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

I’m just relieved Nadhim Zahawi is not a Labour MP, otherwise his tax dodging would be all over the mainstream news by now.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Well, this is embarrassing @nadhimzahawi…
