Proud earthling. Europhile hiking addict. Always anti-establishment. Can take or leave Marmite.

Usually polite and rational, but language occasionally frays around the edges in encounters with utter Brexiton or anti-masker numbskulls.

Oh, and by 'establishment', I mean the entrenched rich and powerful, not those, e.g. scientists, trying to make sense of a mad world.

Did that budget put you in mind of a gambler's last throw? That was the shirt, wasn't it?

@RichMountbasket He can afford it, shorting Sterling as he does.

What price fiscal prudence and trust with the economy, John?

@JamesRees_PCC @qwerkygirls @Keir_Starmer @EdwardJDavey Ah, but it's not taxes you have to pay, it's bribes. And it helps if you're Russian.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

So that’s it. Who are the winners from this budget? Bankers, city fatcats, fossil fuel giants, the extremely wealthy. Who are the losers? Everyone else. And not one word about climate & nature protection, on which all wealth ultimately depends #Bankersbudget

@BeckettUnite And yet...

@ACraigBennett They're already high on gaslighting fuel.

[Tony Afanasiew 💚 #FBPE #FBPPR #GTTO #3.5% @Afanasiew]

What happens why you take a starting handle to a seized engine? Because that's what the desperate Tories are doing.

@DavidLammy Not so long ago Steve Baker claimed the accusation that Tories still subscribe to trickle down economics was a straw man.

Jacob Rees-Mogg himself has received money from fossil fuel investors

Jacob Rees-Mogg says opposition to fracking in the UK is being funded by Putin.

In other news, the Conservative Party has received ��5 million from Russian donors since 2012.

@BrugesGroup Yeah, how else you gonna kickstart your meritocratic hubris?

[Tony Afanasiew 💚 #FBPE #FBPPR #GTTO #3.5% @Afanasiew]

@LouisaClarence Obvious answer - follow Finland's fine example.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

UK billionaires increased their wealth by over £55 billion last year.

UK workers real wages are set to fall by almost 8% this year.

Wealth doesn’t trickle down, it’s hoovered up.

@markoftheD The next 4 spoke earlier but achieved less at school. But then went on to earn more. They all find their way.

[Tony Afanasiew 💚 #FBPE #FBPPR #GTTO #3.5% @Afanasiew]

@markoftheD First born waited until 3 then came out with a whole sentence. Got 4 As at 'A' level.

[Tony Afanasiew 💚 #FBPE #FBPPR #GTTO #3.5% @Afanasiew]

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg We're free to fantasise, free to fail, free to dwindle into irrelevance, free to watch millions freeze and starve, free to lower standards, free to ignore facts, free to be foolish unto death, free to be conned and watch the economy plummet in freefall.
Yay.

@Petelmrg The volume correlates directly with the amount of doodoo the Tory leader's in.
