@JohnCarltonKing "Political rights in a community come from land ownership, not residence" is just feudalism.

@sainsburys WHY did you think it would be a good idea to remove the lids from your houmous?!

👋Hi Barbie!
Happy Barbie day everyone🎟️💅
This week not only marks the cinematic event of the summer, but the Illegal Immigration Bill also passed a few days ago and it looks as though someone has been doing some alternative promo 👀

David Tennant responds to backlash against pro-trans t-shirt.

“I’ll be fine, Terfs can’t climb stairs, and I still have my sonic screwdriver.”

Q: How do you trick the population into believing that asylum seekers are becoming a bigger and bigger issue?

A: Stop processing asylum applications.

Cynical? That's exactly what the Tories did.

The % of asylum applications completed within 6 months fell from 80%+ to ~10%.

BREAKING🚨| The government has announced anti-strike legislation.

When workers democratically vote to strike, they can be forced to work and sacked if they don’t. This is wrong, unworkable, and almost certainly illegal.

A new poll from @PeoplePolling indicates the Tories' support has dropped to just 14%, their lowest-ever in a general election poll.

Labour would win 530 MPs, with the Tories reduced to just 13. The SNP (47) would be the official opposition, with the LDs third (38).

A 50 year old earning £1 million a-year will have a lower marginal tax rate than a 25 year old earning £50,000.

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

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Liz Truss today said tax cuts were amongst her "first priority": cuts that she knows will massively benefit the rich and do almost nothing for the poor.

That’s her priority even in this cost-of-living crisis.

Truss is a Prime Minister for the wealthy few, not the vast majority.

In Spain, train journeys under 300km are free until the end of 2022.

France’s energy bills are only rising by 4%.

Germany has cut public transport to €9 (£7.70) a month.

Our Government is telling people to buy a new kettle.

I spoke to the landlords putting up their rents for @novaramedia. Here's what they said. https://t.co/1NKipvVf0a

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

New polling shows that 66% of the public support public ownership of energy.

So it (i) is popular, (ii) makes economic sense, and (iii) gives democratic control to put our need before their greed.

The case for public ownership is overwhelming.

[KWAJO- Social Issues Campaigner @Kwajotweneboa]

During a cost of living crisis. Private landlords are allowed to make those looking for a home fight like dogs to see who can pay the most rent.

This is the Housing Crisis. Young renters haven’t got a chance in Hell.

Bidding on private rental properties should not be allowed
