Just seen online that Spain has extended free travel schemes for the whole of 2023 and put pensions up just over 8%. Because they are charging the rich extra tax, the money goes back in the pot. Why can't UK do this?

@Cornishview @MaryRiddell Mortgages up, bills up, wages down, public spending down, borrowing up...suffering up...

Political tip! Don't stand in front of a bluescreen if you're in the middle of crashing the country

£18 billion cuts were announced today & hidden in the small print of the u-turn on the 45p rate.

That’s how Tories operate.

[Steve Chalke @SteveChalke]

Full marks for the tax U-turn! No marks for the lack of empathy with the ordinary working people!
Why? Because, in the climb-down Kwasi Kwarteng said it was clear the 45p tax rate had become a ‘distraction’! That’s the problem. It was never a ‘distraction’, it was a disgrace.

Here we go....an inept government is destroying our precious public service whilst trying to blame NHS management..... #SaveOurNHS

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

Oh really, well I guess we should maybe try that some time perhaps even on a National level…

[John Spiers @squeezyjohn]

Kwarteng has just announced £18 billion of public sector cuts. That’s cuts to schools and hospitals. Nobody voted for this levelling down.

The judge who green-lighted Assange's extradition to US is a 40-year 'good friend' of the minister who orchestrated his arrest.

Imagine effect if this revelation had appeared in the Guardian or the Times. Mainstream media is complicit in his torture.

12 years of Tory government has left us with low wages, a cost-of-living emergency and an NHS crisis.

Changing one Tory PM for another isn't the change people need.

Let's fight for:
◾ A Wealth Tax on the super-rich
◾ Energy under public ownership
◾ £15 per hour minimum wage

Tonight I'm delivering a petition in Parliament signed by over 65,000 people. It is based on this key principle: energy giants should not be allowed to make a single penny in excess profits off the back of higher energy bills for millions of ordinary people.

Just 7% of Brits are privately educated yet 74% of the new cabinet are privately educated. A two-tier education system creates a two-tier society. We'll hear a lot about diversity over the coming few days but diversity which doesn't account for social class is meaningless

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The first act of Liz Truss’ premiership should be taking immediate action to tackle the cost of living crisis that is pushing millions into poverty — this must be a wealth tax and bringing energy companies, water, mail and rail into public ownership.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Good riddance @PritiPatel.

You were an unspeakably cruel Home Secretary and won’t be missed by anyone with a shred of decency 👋🏽

[Cllr Jane Dowson @CllrJaneDowson]

What a fantastic return for Leeds Carribean Carnival. Thank you so much to the organisers, the designers and the troops for making it so memorable.

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

You literally voted in favour of this happening!

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

Reminder: Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak are both equally terrible people. This is the family-friendly version of my thoughts on them.

[Gina @ginamartinuk]

When you live in a country where the six richest people control as much wealth as poorest 13 million, but you choose to be angry at workers striking because they’re living costs are higher than their wages, you’re thinking in interests of those six, not the 13 million.

This week in @UKParliament I spoke about
bringing the headquarters of Great British Railways to
