Destitution is when people cannot afford to meet their most basic physical needs to stay warm, dry, clean and fed.

Our new report reveals a shameful rise in the number of people experiencing destitution in the UK.

Here are the key findings 🧵

#DontIgnoreDestitution

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Lady in scarf, "You have a former Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, who was heading up a culture of partying, law breaking, corruption, cronyism, and has not submitted a single WhatsApp with the most ridiculous excuses"

"You've got a current Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, who also hasn't submitted his WhatsApp, 30 odd times he said he can't recall anything"

"I feel it's a witch hunt against Nicola Sturgeon. I think she did well for Scotland, she did what she could, in the most trying situations" #BBCQT #CovidInquiry

Despite the high cost of following Jesus, believers like Ji Ho (name changed) from #NorthKorea believe He's worth it - like the wealthy merchant, who, 'when he found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.' (Matthew 13:45-46) #VerseOfTheDay

“When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you at that time” Matt 10:19

Today is the feast of St Stephen, the first Martyr. 🧵

In Prince Harry’s High Court victory against the Mirror, the judge found there was no doubt that Piers Morgan, as editor, knew Harry’s phone was tapped. (Piers, of course, says he didn’t.) Mr Justice Fancourt also says two ex-Mirror execs, Richard Wallace, now head of TV at Murdoch’s NewsUK, and Gary Jones, now editor of the Daily Express, knew about tapping. The Times (Murdoch-owned), the Sun (ditto), and the Express haven’t mentioned this aspect on their websites. Next month Harry will bring a hacking case against the Sun, and another against the Daily Mail. The Sun and the Mail have forgotten to mention that, too.

One of the Conservatives’ biggest ever donors has profited from £135m of NHS contracts.

Frank Hester, who gave Rishi Sunak’s party £5m this summer, is thought to have made huge sums from the deals.

Please RT if you think everyone should be aware.

Al Gore, "I find it shocking, really disappointing, I think Rishi Sunak has done the wrong thing.. Fossil fuel companies have used their wealth to slow things down.. They're much better at capturing politicians than emissions.. You can tell when they've captured one"

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Everything they are doing to the NHS, they did to British Rail:

• Underfunded it
• Exhausted the service
• Got the public angry

Then said privatisation is the only solution.

Water Company bosses paid themselves £14.8 million in bonuses last year. During that time they dumped raw sewage into your water 372,533 times

Then they increased water bills by 7.5%

Water utilities are stripping profit while factoring in fines for pollution

Nationalise water.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Sainsbury’s CEO earned £4ml last year, £2,298 an hour.

Tesco CEO made almost £4.5ml last year, £2,472 an hour.

Workers in both get £11 an hour.

The Greens have a policy for CEOs to be paid a maximum of ten times the wage of workers.

Policies for workers. Truly needed.

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

EXPOSED 🚨: Sewage was pumped into CONSERVATION sites across England and Wales for more than 300,000 hours last year.

If you added that up in one location that equates to 34 years!

How can the government allow this to happen?

Hi, I just signed the petition urging the African Union to shift investment from dirty fossil fuels to renewables, and to protect Africa’s rich biodiversity. Will you do the same? https://t.co/leW4jhJtst

Dmitry Glukhovsky, Russian writer: "We betrayed the Ukrainians. It is not they who betrayed us. We again present ourselves as victims and explain to ourselves that we were forced to do all this, because they were the first to start ... No! We started first. We stabbed in the back."

I just want to wake up in an England where a working class woman drinking a pint isn't used against her & where a cruel man who despises the working classes pretending to drink a pint isn’t seen as an election strategy🥴 ..

[Paul Lewis @paullewismoney]

Brilliant summary of the finances of the polluting water industry in England narrated by ex-BBC star @gavinesler Handed debt free companies by the Government in 1989 the private owners racked up £60bn debt and paid £57bn dividends and now let sewage flow into rivers and beaches

Love this. So true
