A few weeks ago I had a frightening time with some migrants. They took me into a theatre, one of them administered drops to freeze my eye, one of them plunged instruments into my eye and whirled them around whilst I watched, helpless, and one of them held my hand during the whole 90 minutes whilst they saved my vision. Bastards! Rwanda isn't good enough for these people.
The price cap might be going down but prices are still DOUBLE what they were before the crisis and households are drowning in MILLIONS of pounds of debt. We need a social energy tariff now! https://t.co/yK096EvFjB
I’ve signed @38Degrees’ petition calling on King Charles to do the right thing and reject a HUGE 45% royal payrise. Taxpayer funds should go towards public services like our NHS, not towards boosting the @RoyalFamily’s coffers. Add your name. https://t.co/wyh7d6dqiA
I don't want @UKLabour to fail.
I want Labour to Wake Up and start being an opposition. I want them to start defending workers, refugees and the NHS.
RT if you want Labour to do the same.
We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff.
Please can you help by following us and retweeting this?
After a surreal few days, I’m delighted that we have navigated a way through this. I want to thank you all for the incredible support, particularly my colleagues at BBC Sport, for the remarkable show of solidarity. Football is a team game but their backing was overwhelming. 1/4
Two press stories today highlight the grotesque inequality we face in our country:
▪️ Rishi Sunak has had the electricity grid in his area upgraded to heat his private pool
▪️ England has lost almost 400 swimming pools since 2010, with more health-deprived areas losing out most
Just a guess. If you agree with Gary Lineker, you...
Didn't vote for Brexit
Are not a racist

10 days ago I sent Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt a letter (below) asking him to postpone the govt's 20% increase in energy bills on 1 April.
Since, SEVENTY major charities (below), & the energy industry trade body have signed up to support the letter.
IF YOU SUPPORT THE CALL PLS RT
I just signed the petition calling on the Government to rethink its jet zero plans to properly tackle the aviation industries impact on the climate crisis. Will you add your name? https://t.co/gJCdBaGY43 via @38degrees
Tory MPs Liz Truss, Anne-Marie Trevelyan, James Gray, and Vicky Ford have all put their Amazon Prime subscriptions on expenses.
Please retweet this if you think MPs should pay for their own Amazon Prime subscription.
This whole 🧵 is worth a read, but I have been thinking about the issue in this tweet particularly.
I get the Tories wanting to privatise the NHS, but how does collapsing urgent/emergency care play into that? I think that’s still publicly funded to an extent in most systems?
The NHS is completely BROKEN
It WASNT broken by COVID/Ukraine/inflation(*delete excuse)
It was broken by deliberate CHOICES to break it
RT if you want this/next government to make CHOICES to properly fund the NHS, reward its staff & provide better healthcare for UK population
Typical salaries for nurses have fallen by 5.9% in real terms compared to 2010/11 levels.
