[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.

You voted against banning fire and rehire.

You voted against day one sick pay for workers.

You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.

Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.

You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.

[Adnan Hussain MP @AdnanHussainMP]

I think pulling children out of poverty, allowing pensioners to heat their homes, and taking better care of the disabled community might have been a better way to win back the working class.

Instead, Labour's leader has decided to become a clone of Rupert Lowe.

Oh look, the guy that thinks that concrete grows on trees now thinks he knows how to manage a train!

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

BREAKING 🚨 | Conservative and Reform MPs have just voted AGAINST the Employment Rights Bill.

They've voted to stand on the side of exploitation, zero-hours contracts and fire and rehire.

True colours.

[RMT @RMTunion]

The taxpayer pays for an MPs salary, their expenses, their offices even their subsidised bars and restaurants.
Meanwhile, some of them earn small fortunes from media outlets to tell people that somehow Doctors, Teachers and Railway Workers are the problem.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

When politicians demonise migrants, the far right listen.

When they say refugees should be “sent back to where they came from”, the far right listen.

When they complain about asylum seekers staying in hotels, the far right listen.

Let’s promote a message of unity instead.

One that tackles the issues facing us all: the housing crisis, the collapse of our NHS and the disaster of privatisation.

One that gives hope to all communities that a fairer society is possible.

Stand up to racism. Defend refugees. Inspire belief in a better world. That is how you defeat the far right once and for all.

[Jamie Smart @jamiesmart]

Imagine if they all united over something that actually mattered, like people not being able to afford to buy food. Imagine if that happened.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Junior doctors didn’t waste billions of taxpayers’ money on dodgy contracts.

Junior doctors didn’t sell off our health service.

Junior doctors didn’t cause record-high waiting lists.

The Tories created this crisis. Solidarity with junior doctors striking to save our NHS.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Michelle Mone’s PPE MEDPRO was a company that was less than 3 weeks old, with zero employee’s, no contracts, no premises, no previous transactions of any kind and with £100 in the bank.

Then the Government gave it £203,000,000.

Jail, jail, jail.

'If you've defrauded the taxpayer, we're going after you... Rishi Sunak should never have signed off those cheques.'

Shadow Chancellor @RachelReevesMP tells @NickFerrariLBC why Labour want an 'anti-corruption commissioner' to help recoup the £7.2bn lost to fraud during Covid.

[Daily Hotspur @Daily_Hotspur]

You win some, you lose some.

'It is astonishing that he was reduced to the same status as his bread pudding uncle.'

＠mrjamesob tries to comprehend the comparison of Prince Harry and Prince Andrew's 'offences' by the right-wing media, and questions their silence as the Duke of York is 'rehabilitated'.

An ending was inevitable, though your partnership felt infinite.

15 years of wickets, countless memories, stunning moments and absolute greatness.

We'll never see anything like this again.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Scrapping the 2-child benefit cap: £1.3bn

A 1% wealth tax on assets over £10m: £10bn

And we’re supposed to believe that ending child poverty is unaffordable?

[Dom Joly @domjoly]

By “it” I presume you mean eternal shame for panicking about empty threats from Farage and enabling Brexit, sending us into an economic death spiral?

[Lancashire Cricket @lancscricket]

Will get back to you on numbers, just tbc depending on how many Aussie tears there are to add to it seeing the ground staff start the clear up... 😏

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

I hadn't realised that most MPs can claim £5500 per child on expenses, for up to three children. But it certainly puts the two-child benefit cap in perspective.

[Ben Stokes @benstokes38]

That’s definitely not me, since when did I bowl with the new ball
