The 1,000 richest people in UK are worth £771bn which is 6 times the NHS budget.

And yet the Tories want to increase NI tax on ordinary working people.

Enough is enough.

When Berlin was crumbling around him, did Hitler say, ‘I fucked up a bit, didn’t I’? No. He said the German people had not proved strong enough.

Exactly the same denialism infests Brexit thinking. Even if everyone starves to death, far right dogma will improvise an excuse.

As Brexit grace period ends, lorry drivers importing goods now need 700 pages of documentation.

I remember in 2016, when we were told that Brexit would usher in a “bonfire of red tape”… which was absurd, because leaving Single Market does the opposite.

In our local supermarket here in the alpes maritime 🇫🇷 a tin of baked beans from the UK 🇬🇧 is now €4.50, and was circa €1.20 last year!! One small example of the sheer folly of Brexit, and the calamitous damage it’s doing to the economy!!

You would think that a company that had swarms of private equity vultures circling would put its brain in gear. Not Sainsburys. First they advertise on toxic GBNews and then they get caught telling their staff to deny empty food shelves have anything to do with Brexit.

Memo to Sainsburys staff:
The empty shelves in your supermarket? You know it's all down to Brexit. If your Tory supporting bosses tell you to tell the customers otherwise? Be honest. All we ask.

LBC reports this morning that IKEA is now reporting shortages of over 1,000 product lines.

Due to logistics issues

Including Brexit

As @BorisJohnson tries to defend #AfghanistanCrisis hope he's aware of the "perilous future of those who worked in justice system previously, in particular 270 brave women judges & 170 brave women lawyers and prosecutors"
Urgency cannot be understated! https://t.co/PGgkFb1ImI

M&S said cumbersome paper-based checks already in place, covering goods going from Britain into the EU, do not work and are taking a toll on supply chains into Ireland and Europe in general.

So, the EU will be funding an Irish recovery plan. I wonder how many of the idiots who fell for the #Brexit scam realize the EU uses its funds to help its members. Not many I suspect!

At least 5,450,000 people on the NHS waiting list. £10bn minimum investment needed. A staffing crisis looming. The Tories see this as the opportunity to complete privatisation & the sell off to American corporations. The NHS is being finished in front of us.

Tory donor Brownlow is the man who paid £53K to allow the Johnson flat in No 11 to get a bordello-chic makeover. Then guess what? His company won up to £120m in public contracts. Not a bad investment.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

• Now 93,806 unfilled posts in our NHS.

• A rise of 23% since March end.

The Tory plan to defund our NHS in order to grow the private sector is going exactly to plan.
