Aside from the fact that Tory governments since 2010 had probably the biggest impact on family finances given austerity, falling wages and interest rate increases…

It ignores that Tory governments including Thatcher’s appointed union representation to the BOE

BREAKING 🚨: GMB analysis shows that more than 600,000 council workers have been lost since 2012 🚛

Staff such as carers, refuse workers and teaching assistants are disappearing across England and Wales - with the East Midlands worst hit 🙅

"Outsourcing is a racket.. we're here today to say the era of outsourcing is over. We're coming for the multinational companies who've been eating our public services alive.. they've created a 2 tier workforce.."

@RMTunion's Eddie Dempsey at #TUC26 on the scourge of outsourcing.

How is having a preference for private ownership, in any way not ideological? 😂

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"Is public ownership a bad outcome? You have, as you've outlined, explored trying to keep it private. When that fails is public ownership ok?"

Reynolds: "There's nothing ideological about this. I would like the steel industry to be in private hands. That is my preference"

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

Union membership: up.

Not by a few thousand.

Or 10,000.

But by 192,000.

The biggest increase since records began.

50% of all recessions in Britain since 1970 have been the result of fossil fuel price shocks. 🤯

And the next economic shock is coming. The only way out is MORE green energy.

@lester_hay55123 @AaronBastani Do you think that would grow the economy enough to offset the inflation & worldwide disruption caused by climate change and its effects

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

A reminder.

The latest HMRC figures show that in 2023–24:

30,400 estates paid inheritance tax

That was 4.72% of UK deaths—fewer than one in twenty

Therefore, roughly 95% of estates paid none.

We’re talking about a tax which affects only the wealthiest estates.

[George Eaton @georgeeaton]

Inheritance tax is paid by less than 5% of estates and couples can already transfer up to £1m in property tax-free.

Abolishing it would be regressive, unmeritocratic and a bad use of £9bn.

[Adam Baker @adam_baker_]

@nopartyfits @georgeeaton Guessing you want the lineage of the same families to own all the wealth forever then

[Adam Baker @adam_baker_]

@GildaYork66 @georgeeaton As soon as it’s been inherited it’s had zero tax paid on it until inheritance tax kicks in because tax is paid by individuals not families 👍

Hard to articulate how grim this is really. Brave life-saving volunteers having to hide who they are so the very worst people in the world don't attack them for not letting migrants drown. Racism is an illness.
