Thinking, today, of all the victims, of The Omagh Bombing on the 21st anniversary of that heinous crime. I have shared many "radicalisation awareness" platforms across the continent with Michael Gallagher who lost his son, Aidan, that day and I know his never ending heartbreak.
The working class in U.K. have shouldered burden after burden through Tory policies. Austerity has had a causative affect on life expectancy. IDS think tank proposes raising retirement age to 75, by 2035. Most wont reach that age. #GTTO#ToryBritain

Cleverly: "We urge EU citizens living here to sign up to the settled status scheme."
Ferrari: "And if they don't? Will they be kicked out?"
Cleverly: "No."
Ferrari: "So they don't need to sign up then!"

No State Pension until your 75? Only way to retire earlier is if you can afford to? Classless society of the future? I think not. Imagine leaving our Old Folks Bungalows and Sheltered Housing Schemes to go to work. It just doesn't bear thinking about.
Perhaps most sickening of all is the knowledge that Johnson *knows* how gravely No Deal jeopardises patients - and he simply doesn't give a damn. He will posture, bellow & spin, while fully aware patients' lives hang in the balance.
And keeping MPs & public wholly in the dark.
"This is not Project Fear - this is the most realistic assessment of what the public face with No Deal":
🔹Severe, extended delays for meds
🔹Impractical to stockpile for expected delays
🔹Unusable insulin
🔹Unsuable flu vaccines
🔹Unusable leukaemia drugs
Utterly sickening.
Excellent blog here about recent unpaid #carers survey which shows an increase in individuals’ caring workload and a decline in their support. https://t.co/Y12JV3frnz Carers are struggling on regardless and it can’t continue. We clearly can’t. #ValueCarers
The gap in life expectancy between the rich and poor in the UK is a full decade. Increasing the pension age literally means working the poor to death to pay for the pensions of the rich. There is no policy more transparently in the interests of millionaires.
Tories, "We are the party of the people" 😂Tory Party is the Party of:
✅Poverty
✅Austerity
✅Food Banks
✅Police Cuts
✅Tax Cuts for the rich
✅School Cuts
✅Fracking
✅Working until 75
✅Public Service Cuts
✅Not backing NHS
✅Letting industry down
Not an exhaustive list!
As Amber Rudd rolls up to Harrogate Job Centre with talk of learning 'valuable lessons' about Universal Credit it's worth bearing in mind the Tories have had SIX YEARS to learn abt this benefit: there's no excuse for the smashed lives & desperate hardship UC has left in its wake.
We have to stop big money running our politics.
Labour will ban donations to political parties from anyone not registered to pay tax in the UK.
If you don't want to contribute to our public services, you shouldn't be able to influence our democracy.
