Can we dedicate this #SocialistSunday to all the teachers and school staff who are continuing to do an amazing job in the face of rampant #ToryIncompetence ✊💜
Brianna Ghey was an incredible young woman who spread joy, love and laughter to those around her.
My thoughts are with Brianna's family and the trans community fighting for safety, dignity and liberation.
On #TransDayofRemembrance, we come together to remember our murdered trans siblings and commit to building a world where trans people live with freedom and equality.
Solidarity with everyone who is celebrating, mourning or grieving today 🕊️🏳️⚧️
Kemi Badenoch could have used her first appearance as Women & Equalities Minister to ban conversion therapy, demand better trans healthcare and condemn the rise in LGBT+ hate crimes.
Instead, she attacked the CEO of @PinkNews.
The entire LGBT+ community have my full support.
So Rishi Sunak – the richest MP in history – is going to become Prime Minister, with plans to cut funding for public services and slash workers' wages.
This Tory class war will be waged with no mandate, without a single vote being cast.
General election now! #EnoughIsEnough
Rishi Sunak's 90-second statement reflects a Conservative Party devoid of any plan to fix the multiple crises they have created.
No ideas. No conviction. No mandate.
This government has a simple choice: embrace the transformative change this country needs or get out of the way.
Because she was Prime Minister for 6 weeks, Liz Truss will be able to claim a £115,000 annual allowance for the rest of her life.
Meanwhile, 1 in 7 people in the UK are skipping meals to pay their bills.
As Liz Truss sacks Kwasi Kwarteng for implementing her own economic policies, millions of people are still waiting for a plan to tackle the cost-of-living emergency.
It doesn't matter how many Chancellors they get through, this Tory government is rotten to its very core.
PLEASE RT this thread.
Today Royal Mail Group have called together every postal worker in the UK and announced they want to make 10,000 redundancies.
This is nothing but an intimidation tactic aimed at crushing the spirit of our members #StandByYourPost
It’s time to say #EnoughlsEnough
This Saturday, October 1st, we’ll be protesting in 50 cities and towns across Britain:
For pay rises, against the energy rip-off, to end food poverty – and to say no to handouts for the rich.
RT to spread the word 👊

Today, the Cuban people voted to adopt the most progressive Family Code in the world.
Over 66% of voters approved an amendment to the constitution that legally redefines what it means to be a family, putting an emphasis on love, human dignity, equality and non-discrimination.
The effects of the Tories' tax changes on take-home pay:
- If your salary is £1,000,000, it's up £54,400.
- If your salary is £25,000, it's up 0.5% of that.
It's a Bankers' Budget. That's whose side the Tories are on.
#EnoughIsEnough
This government's bankers' budget is a gift for the few and a slap in the face for the many.
Truss, Kwarteng & Co. are doubling down on tax cuts for the rich, handouts for bankers, dirty fossil fuels and attacks on workers.
We need a massive change, not more of the same.
The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
The first act of Liz Truss’ premiership should be taking immediate action to tackle the cost of living crisis that is pushing millions into poverty — this must be a wealth tax and bringing energy companies, water, mail and rail into public ownership.
I got to meet one of my heroes today, who's inspired me and millions of others to stand-up to the billionaire class.
It was such an honour, @BernieSanders ❤️
