We’re at a dangerous moment in our country - where refugees are being blamed for all society's problems. While the super-rich, who really caused these problems, are busy taking more and more wealth from working class people.
For 40 years, the ideas launched by Thatcher - cuts, deregulation and privatisation - have meant attack after attack on working-class living standards. The last decade and a half of austerity made things even worse.
Instead of holding the billionaire class to account - those who have stolen the wealth created by ordinary people - Farage and his allies are scapegoating refugees and are being cheered on by our billionaire-owned media.
But hatred and division won’t build a single council house. It won’t put a penny more into the NHS. It won’t deliver higher wages. In fact, Farage and his mates voted against stronger workers��� rights in Parliament recently. They want the NHS replaced with a private system.
The only thing this politics of distraction, hatred and division achieves is to protect our rigged economic system - so that the super-rich can keep getting richer, while everyone else is left worse off.
Let's be clear: the cause of the problems in our society is the tiny elite hoarding the vast majority of our country’s wealth. Refugees fleeing war and persecution are not to blame for collapsing living standards, falling wages, or bringing our NHS to its knees.
So instead of this 'divide and rule', let's unite and build a country that really serves the 99% - not the super-rich.
Let's impose a wealth tax on the ultra-rich, let's build huge numbers of council houses, let's bring water and energy back into public ownership and let's kick the profiteers out of our NHS.
That's how we can build a better future for ordinary people.
So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵
god I hate nonchalance! I hate it in my friendships and in my relationships like jesus christ it must be so god damn boring to care so little about everything. if you’re nonchalant leave me tf alone. i’ll take a neurotic freak thank you very much
Being called a radical for believing every person should have enough food to eat, a roof over their heads, and access to healthcare and education is wild. But here we are.
Nigel Farage won thanks to billionaire owned media.
Jeremy Corbyn and 4 Green MPs won thanks to OUR movement - which runs on people’s passion, commitment and solidarity alone.
No wonder they’re so scared of us 😘
🚨 NEW: The Green Party have pledged an extra £30 billion a year for the NHS and £20 billion for social care by 2030
The policy would be funded by a new tax for the "very richest", with a 1% tax on assets worth over £10 million, and 2% on assets over £1 billion

f**k off. You don't speak for me or the majority of women. You haven't lifted a finger to do anything at all to protect women - from violence, from misogyny, from poverty, from illness, from health inequality.
absolute perverse obsession with “working hard” in the UK, i don’t want to work hard i want to work normal and save my energy for playing with my daughter and going to fun places and building an uncontrollably sprawling recreation of my rapidly collapsing country in Duke Nukem 3D
Suella Braverman used £25k of expenses to pay her parents Energy Bills for 5 years when she occasionally stayed there rent free.
Then she calls other people scroungers.
The UN Security Council just voted on an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
The vote came after 17,000+ Palestinians, including 7,000+ children, have been killed.
The USA vetoed the resolution & the UK was the only abstention.
Utterly shameful complicity in a massacre of a people.
