My thoughts are with the many bereaved families of those lost in the Hillsborough disaster.
We must never give up in the fight for justice and a Hillsborough Law. #JFT97
We didn’t. Staffroom was closed. Staff were isolated in their bubbles with their class, they had dinner in their classroom with their class. We also have no alcohol in our workplace. I thought I was over #Partygate seems I’m even more angry about it now. Thanks @Mike_Fabricant
It’s been reported that the Chancellor’s wife, Akshata Murthy, is not tax domiciled in the UK. This has been confirmed by a statement issued on her behalf. But I think the statement of facts issued by her is wrong. And I also suggest HMRC could challenge this claim. A thread….
I will leave the ethics of this aside. The reaction in the media makes clear where most people stand on that issue. I am just addressing facts here. And I suggest the Chancellor has a duty in this case to get his wife to put the facts on the table or drop her claim that save tax
@AlecHitchman1@cleggy261 Your U.K. MP’s have had 4 pay rises since 2018. In 2020 every MP was offered £10,000 “ as an aide for working from home” during Lockdowns, & were on full pay & Expenses throughout.
We must defend our NHS from further privatisation and outsourcing — and bring our hospitals and services fully back into public ownership.
@We_OwnIt have launched a new web tool to help you fight outsourcing in your local area. 👇
The government must act now to reinstate the 800 workers sacked by P&O, demand a return of their taxpayer subsidies and, if they don’t listen, bring them into public ownership.

In 15 days time the government are raising taxes on workers by £33 billion a year & on the exact same day giving themselves a £2,000 pay rise.
Tax rises for you
Pay rises for MPs
🧵In ten minutes, I'll be listening in to @profbeckyallen speaking at #WorldEdSummit about the myth of "best practice" in teaching. Follow along here for the key points.
In 16 days time the Tories are hitting you with 3 tax rises.
National Insurance, Income Tax threshold freeze & Council Tax.
On the same they, they’re giving themselves a £2,000 pay rise.
Rigged.
@sharrond62 There’s no doubt that this is a complex situation, but what is clear is that women stand no chance of winning in sports where strength and stamina are a key requirement against someone who went through male puberty. Women’s sport and place in society being eroded before our eyes.
If you’re an athlete, coach, retired athlete, sporting official, sports journalist or sports enthusiast & keeping your head down, ignoring this injustice, shame on you.. you are partly responsible for all those from now on that lose their places, medals & opportunities. Be strong
Cheltenham Festival on the BBC news. Crowds at the racing again.
And not a peep about how the government allowed 250,000 people to mix closely in March 2020, with so many infections and deaths to follow, just so their mates could race their horses.

“We’ve never been allowed to speak about politics in sports but suddenly it’s allowed. I hope people look at oppression everywhere around the world. Palestinians have been going through that for the past 74 years.”

Isn’t it a perfect metaphor that Lebedev hired a Corbyn impersonator for his 2019 party, attended by Boris, Mandelson etc? While the elite invented a pretend Corbyn in the pay of Russia, oligarchs had to pay someone to pretend to be Corbyn cos the real one wouldn’t play ball.
In just 3 weeks time the Tories are hitting you with 2 tax rises
1. A freeze to Personal Tax Allowance (which after inflation is a huge cut)
2. An increase in your National Insurance Tax
On the exact same day, they’re collecting a £2,000 pay rise for themselves.
