Government chaos and failure has pushed almost a quarter of the country into fuel poverty. @10DowningStreet must immediately deliver a proper windfall tax that provides support and insulates homes to keep people warm this winter. #ChaosCostsLives
Did you vote for this? I didn’t.
@trussliz: it's time to either rip up any plans which cut family budgets and slash our public services - or call a General Election

An international banker friend tells me:
“The hedge funds made a ton of money because they met up with #KwasiKwarteng 3 days before the announcement and they shorted Sterling big time - isn’t that insider trading in a mega way? I am appalled”
Labour Conference passed a motion calling for Proportional Representation! Now we need @Keir_Starmer to make sure that this is in the next Labour manifesto.

Regardless of your opinion on the queen, this whole thing has shown the true extent of how backwards we are as a country. Thousands of homeless people needing shelter but Sally from Norwich gets to spend the night on a train cos she had to go and cry next to a box for a bit.
I write about something similar in my book on the City of London where class remains a (the?) key parameter in terms of who gets in and who gets on. Relevant here partly because the City’s ‘top jobs’ often act as a launchpad into (elite) politics. @proftimbale#inequality#class
On my last day as chair of Young Labour I have written to @Keir_Starmer and David Evans.
Labour must demonstrate that there is a genuine alternative to a society that gets harder and harder for young people to live in.

"From sky-high rents, insecure work to the climate crisis, young people are on the sharp edge of a broken economy." A loud voice for alternatives to Tory ruin, the future is socialist! 🔥
We're proud to partner with YL again this year, congrats @nabeelamowlana & @socialist_yl!
