Today is #NationalBiscuitDay so you're probably wondering what biscuits our politicians are most similar to...
Rishi Sunak = Rich tea - rich but disintegrates when in hot water
Keir Starmer = Viennese whirl - people think they're posh but they're not
Jeremy Hunt = McVitie's Chocolate digestives - you're not left with much money when you get them
Angela Rayner = hob nob - people who put them in hot water are surprised when they emerge unscathed
Lee Anderson = party rings - childish and turn up at a lot of different parties
Nigel Farage = garibaldi - only popular with old people
@campbellclaret#RishiSunak cannot read the room; he is tone deaf. The apparent arrogance of thinking he can walk into that interview with a rehearsed, slick speech and that will pacify the interviewer shows his lack of emotional intelligence and how out of touch he is. #generalelectionnow#GTTO
Is the world going to stand by while people are killed as they desperately try to access aid having been starved for months?
In Gaza those not killed by Israeli bombs are increasingly likely to die of hunger and disease.
The only way to get in the aid needed is a Ceasefire Now.
Thames Water has been lobbying govt & @Ofwat to "increase bills by 40%, pay lower fines for breaches and keep paying out dividends as part of efforts to avert a taxpayer bailout".
No to bill increase, no to bailout. If it goes bankrupt it goes bankrupt.

Suella Braverman's dream of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda is dead.
Now let's fight for the dreams of refugees by helping them rebuild their lives in dignity, safety and peace.
"Thames Water must not receive a penny of public money in a bailout as it faces rising costs on £14bn of debt, the water campaigner Feargal Sharkey has said."
Indeed I did.
Just imagine what the media would say if this was a consultant doctor, who should be on his way to work, they were door stepping rather than a MP, on a day the Commons was sitting.https://t.co/oDrBJd2LVJ
We know it’s possible to give refugees safe passage – we did it with Ukrainian refugees. Will you stand with refugees and demand safe passage for people who want to claim asylum in the UK?
TORY LORD ASHCROFT:
🔴Healthcare firm owned by Lord Ashcroft landed £53 MILLION in NHS contracts
"Medacs" owned by Impellam Group - majority shareholder an offshore (non tax paying) trust owned by Ashcroft
He is a "Non Dom" and pays NO tax.
Rishi Sunak told MP’s & the public his illegal Migration Bill was LEGAL
Now a Joint Committee on Human Rights has confirmed what lawyers have been saying for weeks - IT BREACHES A NUMBER OF THE UK’S INTERNATIONAL LEGAL OBLIGATIONS
Why are UK news shows not reporting this?
Chief Superintendent Matt Longman tells over 30 Wildlife NGOs that Trail Hunting is a smoke screen for illegal activity & the law on Hunting with Hounds needs to be amended & strengthened to give police the power to stop wildlife crime in the countryside @LeagueACS@BornFreeFDN #Timetochange #Foxhunting
🚨BREAKING ‼️ Excellent news that Court of Appeal has ruled Braverman's utterly inhumane, grotesquely immoral & totally unworkable #Rwanda scheme to be illegal too - & in clear breach of human rights law. Time for an asylum policy which treats people with respect & dignity.
