I wrote this back in February. Anyone with a passing recollection of how covid spread through our society and other societies could tell you this was going to happen…

If you were this person so cruelly escorted from the king's visit today despite peacefully protesting in #bolton please get in touch so you can tell your story. #royal #king #royalvisitbolton #royalvisit

A one-off 1% wealth tax on households with more than £1 million could fund the nurses’ demand for a fair pay rise 162 times over.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you we can’t afford to pay workers what they need and deserve.

Solidarity with members from @theRCN on strike today.

Philip Schofield getting away with cheating on his wife with an 18yo boy he’d known for 6 years then getting done for queue jumping is peak Britain

Protest is a Great British Tradition™, but people have made a huge effort to see the king's horse at Epsom, and Emily Davison shouldn't ruin their moment.

It’s inhumane cancelling funerals and rescheduling cancer treatments due to the Queen’s funeral! No one should be treated as second class citizens!

Four takes!!!

I’m in the ‘God Save the King’ camp, but a kid wanting to protest against the monarchy? Is that an arrestable offence in a country that cherishes free speech?
Sincerely hope not

This is how the Met police treat a barrister holding a blank piece of paper...

A plurality of people of working age support the ongoing rail strikes.

That’s extraordinary - and new. Among under-49s it’s not even remotely close. This wasn’t happening before!

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

🧵Rishi Sunak’s latest attempt to save his leadership bid is promising he’ll withdraw “long term aid” from countries that won’t accept individuals sent by the UK’s illegal refugee deportation program — which violates the 1951 UN refugee convention, among others 1/4

BREAKING 🚨🚨 | We've just launched our campaign for a £15 minimum wage.

Owen Jones is right!

[CWU @CWUnews]

The postal strike threatening to delay the announcement of the new Tory leader is perhaps the single greatest reason for giving your postie a massive hug and letting them know they have your support #StandByYourPost

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

Imagine if this story was about an unanswered email sent to Jeremy Corbyn concerning a colleague.

It would be on the BBC Six O’clock, Newsnight, Panorama & rolling news for days. Yet now there’s nothing - because the leader is Keir Starmer. https://t.co/vBD0xP8M8n

[George Aylett @GeorgeAylett]

If you voted against Labour under Jeremy Corbyn and now demand unconditional support for Keir Starmer’s leadership then please understand you have no authority to lecture others on party loyalty.

Rishi Sunak claims to enjoy McDonald's breakfast wraps with his daughters "a few times a week"

McDonalds breakfast wraps were removed from sale in 2020.

When will members of this government stop lying ?

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

hero. they also kept censoring his great takes on uvalde. free speech is under attack. ratting out the boys in the group chat is a sin.

[Evolve Politics @evolvepolitics]

So Keir Starmer says he won't nationalise energy because he wants to 'spend money reducing bills, not compensating energy company shareholders'.

Two major flaws.

1) Starmer's plan doesn't reduce bills, it freezes them

2) He'll spend £29bn compensating energy companies to do it

Anyone up for a union-led revolution?

I think it’s time ✊🏼

New research has found that oil giant Shell paid £0 in tax on their UK oil and gas production in 2021.

Instead they were net beneficiaries, pocketing £100m in handouts from the UK government.

The likes of Norway and the US gained £17bn in tax from the firm over the same period.
