Lucy Powell compares what Jeremy Hunt & the OBR said about the #AutumnStatement

"A lot of these numbers are sort of made up... prices up, taxes up, debt up, mortgages up, rents up.. that's their record.. so when people ask if they're better off after 13 years.. the answer is no"

[Ju P 💙 @Schmoo1408]

Sunak 'let people die'
Johnson 'let the bodies pile up'
Cleverly 'Stockton's a sh*t-hole'
Braverman 'homelessness is a lifestyle choice'
Sunak 'I've taken funding from poor councils in North & given to Tory ones in the South'

If you want the #ToriesOut let's do #FollowBackFriday

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

The brass neck of Jeremy Hunt claiming Tories have lifted people out of poverty is breathtaking
This month UN said UK is ‘in violation of international law’ over poverty levels & Joseph Rowntree Foundation, say in 2022 3.8 million people experienced destitution #AutumnStatement

Lady in floral top, "Making work pay is a lie. I work for the council, I earn just above minimum wage, yet I rely on a Universal Credit top up just to pay my bills. The £400 you say I'll be getting back from the national insurance cut is a third of what I get from Universal Credit. It's not going to make any difference to me paying my bills" #BBCQT

@BrexitTurmoil What a flippin’ great day! Can only imagine your relief! 👍

[Rob B @RobBfromDerby]

Other legislation on the way:

Raw sewerage to be declared spring water,
Entire population of UK to be confirmed as millionaires,
Mrs Brown’s Boys to be ruled as funny.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

So Tories & (most of) Labour chose not to support #ceasefire, 125-293. We had chance to stand on right side of history - to move to political solution, stop the killing, free the hostages. MPs didn’t take it. So many voices in & outside parliament urging peace - we won’t give up

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

FINALLY ENERGY STANDING CHARGES TO BE REVIEWED. Thank you @ofgem for listening at last, I hope you will listen in the review too. 90% want standing charges lowered or scrapped, though we need to protect vulnerable high users with illness or disability.

It has been a long fought campaign to get this morally hazardous energy poll tax looked at, a flat £300 a year just to have energy meters is too much. I will put more info out in future on how you can feed into the consultation. But to start...

Jeremy Hunt has announced a crackdown on people 'gaming the benefits system'. But no crackdown on Tory donors gaming the PPE VIP lane, MPs gaming second homes allowances or billionaires gaming tax avoidance.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Desperate, authoritarian nonsense from @RishiSunak
You can’t ‘legislate’ to make #Rwanda safe. Either it is or it isn’t, depending on the facts on the ground. How many more months of this rubbish must we endure 😓

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Lower inflation is welcome, but there's one thing not being said about today's 4.6% Oct figure:

The big drop in energy prices is being credited. Yet this time last year all homes got a £66/mth reduction from govt. They don't this year. That's excluded from inflation figures. In practical terms then, what home's typically pay for energy has hardly dropped, so the gain households feel won't really materialise.

[THEandybarnes @theandybarnes]

@eyejosh @David_Cameron I think you're confusing the Daily Heil editorial suite for Tory Central Office - an easy mistake!

[Vea 🕊 @catch_a_woozle]

@eyejosh @David_Cameron Shut it! We have had a belly full of the unelected and out of touch!
It's not the priority of the British people, being able to afford to feed your family and put a roof over their heads is the priority and surviving this atrocious Tory government.

[Joshua Silver @eyejosh]

Actually David, it is NOT in fact a priority for the British people. Someone in Tory Central Office thought an unlawful stop the boats “policy” might win a few votes from xenophobes, fascists and racists - and Sunak has now dug himself into a vast hole. Please repost if you agree
