Tory voters…

Tell me

What goes through your minds when you see this?

Jess Phillips on #RwandaBill

➡️ £169,000 to send each asylum seeker to Rwanda

➡️ £42 compensation to victims of child sexual abuse

➡️ Rishi Sunak can find 150 judges for asylum seekers overnight, while rape victims in my constituency are waiting over 7 years

With Keir Starmer pledging "a total crackdown on cronyism" if Labour wins power in his speech today, here’s a rundown of just a small portion of the dodgy PPE deals which Good Law Project has helped to expose 🧵

'How come a man who beat his eight months pregnant wife get six months suspended and a bloke walking down a road slowly gets six months inside?'

This magistrate struggles to give @Matthew_Wright a straight answer...

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Wow! - Yvette Cooper shreds the Rwanda bill.

And every time there is an intervention, she knocks it out of the park with a home run.

This is a masterclass is countering populist rhetoric, including the charge that Labour have no plan, which she answers in detail and succinctly.

In years to come, exchanges like this will be mandatory viewing of students of politics, democracy and humanity.

NEW - THE VIP FILES
Part One 🔍🗄️📂

I'm working with @goodlawproject on never before seen data about the VIP PPE Lane.

#TheVIPFiles today...
🔹 £3.8 billion contracts for Tory associates and donors for just PPE through the VIP Lane and the govt went further
🔹It turns out the Government massively overpaid on stock through the VIP Lane too....by at least £925 MILLION.
🔹On average the cost per item of PPE through the VIP LANE was 80% MORE than through the USUAL NHS supplier channels.
🔹Sometimes it was much higher.
🔹For instance, the price of a protective gown through standard suppliers at that time was £5.87.
🔹Through the VIP Lane, Meller Designs Ltd was paid more than twice the price at £12.64 per gown.
🔹The company made unprecedented profit that year.
🔹David Meller (of Meller Designs) an associate of Michael Gove, has donated almost £70,000 to the Conservative party since 2009.
🔹More than a quarter of the VIP Lane stock WAS UNUSABLE.
🔹Another company based offshore in a tax haven received an enormous contract and yet £145 million of their stock was useless. The referral for that company to the VIP LANE came from a Tory adviser to Liz Truss.
🔹All these contracts were given preferential treatment even tho most had no previous experience in PPE.
🔹A company was 10 times more likely to get OUR money through the VIP Lane than through being a usual NHS PPE supplier.

@RachelReevesMP has committed to appointing a Covid Corruption Commissioner if Labour wins the next election.
We'll be passing our discoveries to her.

🚨GOOD NEWS: Portugal just ran on 100% renewables for six days, bringing consumers' electric bills to NEARLY 0.

If Portugal can achieve this, why can't we?

Brandon Lewis Conservative MP has got a 7th! second job.

He is getting £250k a year for working for a Russian oligarch.

He is now the highest paid MP, really needs to be investigated.

What are they paying him for?

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Important. Pls spread word
100,000s of people, mostly women age 66+ who took were off work for childcare between 1978 & 2010, are due to get HMRC letter that may be worth £10,000s due to underpaid state pensions. It isn't a scam DON'T bin the letter. See https://t.co/5a9fNY8YFZ

Nigel Farage pretends to love our country, yet has waged war on a bank; 40% owned by the British taxpayer.
Today, NatWest lost £770 million from its value, costing the British taxpayer.
He is the enemy of the people.
A grubby, lying charlatan.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

British Gas just reported record profits: £969,000,000 in 6 months, nearly 10x what it made last year.

Your sky-high bills are their obscene profits.

It's time to bring energy into public ownership, running it to meet your needs, not their greed.

The month of the Gender Pay Gap Bot.🍿

Let’s see how many companies scrap their Women’s day campaigns after being humbled by a bit of software. No token social media posts anymore folks, it’s equal pay or nothing. 🧏🏽‍♀️✨ #IWD2023

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

NEW 🚨 | UK workers gave their employers £26 BILLION of free labour last year in unpaid overtime.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

BREAKING 🚨 | The gender pay gap is now 14.9%.

This means women have worked from January 1st to today - 54 days - for FREE.

Tens of thousands march in Madrid today in support of publicly owned and provided health care - and against health service privatisation

You probably won’t see this in our media - it might give people ideas
