UK gov’t to artificially inflate energy prices from offshore wind to entice investment …. A labour government would generate offshore wind energy under public ownership with lower costs for consumers.

Conclusion: the Tories want to control public bodies, but less keen on funding them properly !! https://t.co/tnB444C2Gu

Can Brexiters now stop pretending? It verged on treason when those with power and influence (who knew damn well it’d be a disaster) ploughed on regardless and knowingly f**k our economy, for self-interest. I’ll forgive you all if you stop pretending it’s not been a shit-show.

[David Tarren @david_tarren]

So the Tories want people to « stand up and fight ». Funny that, because whenever workers stand up and fight this lot want new laws to stop them !

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

This is totally bonkers.

What are these freedoms the Tories have won?

I can’t think of one such thing.

I have a near endless list of what we have lost, from free speech to the right to strike onwards.

Maybe she’d like to explain?

[David Tarren @david_tarren]

Are you on acid Jeza ?

[Sir Jeremy Hunt MP @Jeremy_Hunt]

What a speech by the Prime Minister. I’ve sat through a fair few PM conference speeches now, that was something else.

No messing around, decision after decision to improve our long term future. Courage too - which is why I am proud of my boss today

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

The Tories are furious about the state of Britain today.

Just wait until they find out who's been in power for the last 13 years.

[David Tarren @david_tarren]

…he was kicked out by the police ! The police Ffs ??!!

[Ione Wells @ionewells]

I was stood next to the heckler.

In quite a soft tone he said “there’s no such thing as gender ideology” as Braverman was listing things she thought “woke” institutions were adopting. Security immediately swarmed him and escorted him out.

[David Tarren @david_tarren]

Sunak’s refusal to rule out party membership for Farage is almost as pathetic as Cameron’s spineless acquiescence on EU referendum. Party before country … same old self-interested and self-serving Tories. Please don’t ever vote for this lot again ! https://t.co/bEOdB1rYOa

[David Tarren @david_tarren]

Is that the old bill ? Confused why the police are dealing with a mild (at most !) heckler ! Gosh.

[Robert Peston @Peston]

This is not a great look for the party of free speech. I’ve seen heckling in my time and I am not sure this meets the threshold

[Paul Mason @paulmasonnews]

Back in March I predicted the Tories would radicalise if smashed. They've radicalised in advance of being smashed ... they'll become a far right party of open racists once freed of international law obligations 👇🏽 https://t.co/85BY90xloj

Population of England is about 56.5m.

7.7m awaiting NHS hospital appointment (1 in 7)
1m gone private.
2.5m chronically ill.
1.5m died in last 5 yrs whilst waiting for hospital appointment.

Tragedy created by Tory austerity, income cuts, poor housing/food, public service cuts.

[David Tarren @david_tarren]

Incredible - has Farage joined the Conservative party or is it the other way around ?

[Peter Kay (🦋@theonlypeterkay.bsky.social) @theonlypeterkay]

Celebrating the Farage take over. It’s the party, party party Party.

[David Tarren @david_tarren]

@PeterStefanovi2 that’s interesting. @voicesworking1 interviewed those on the March and the organisers behind it. Was a very well organised event, attended by thousands. #RejoinEU #BrexitMarch

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

There has been superb coverage today on @FRANCE24 of the thousands taking part in todays #MarchForRejoin in London. They have put @BBCNews to absolute shame & even ask in this report where the other broadcasters are!

[Working Voices UK @voicesworking1]

We caught up with the inimitable @snb19692 at the #RejoinMarch Turns out he's a #subhumans fan. Top bloke.#RejoinEU @mikegalsworthy

[Republic @RepublicStaff]

🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Republic activists have staged the first-ever protest INSIDE Buckingham Palace! #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

[Working Voices UK @voicesworking1]

The #RejoinMarch has also blended into the #ULEZ march. Dave meant to say Crackpots by the way!

[Working Voices UK @voicesworking1]

Our 1st chat of the march with Gerry here for the #RejoinMarch

[Working Voices UK @voicesworking1]

#RejoinMarch 1000's here for the march. More from us later.

[David Tarren @david_tarren]

More nonsense from the Tories. Braverman says green policies add to cost of living crisis as her gov’t removes obligation for landlords to make properties more energy efficient saving private renters money !! Duh ?! https://t.co/jM0fKgia9D
