Is there a more hollow man than Rishi Sunak who will do anything for money & power ? Be more racist, heartless , destructive justifying his abuse of the planet in a snooty tetchy voice that he learned at public school & Oxbridge. He is the modern #Tory party 🇬🇧😣#ToryCorruption
Are you ready for this?
Our Govt paid £2.6bn for 5 migrant ships over 2 years
And yet…
The general cost to charter the most luxurious Royal Caribbean cruise ship for 2 years
Inc fuel, food, staff, etc
For 5614 people (double our migrant boats’ capacity)
Is $832m
Or £643m.

The cost of banning people seeking asylum from working is staggering. Lifting it would:
✅add £1.6bn to the UK’s annual GDP
✅save the Government a total of £6.7bn each year
✅increase tax revenue by £1.3bn each year

Not sure where Rishi Sunak got his "400,000 fewer children in poverty since 2010" line just dished out at PMQs
But according to Joseph Rowntree Foundation, that number has gone from 2.6 million in 2009/10 to 4.1 million children in 2021/2
Honestly, I'm tired of UBI pilots. They've tried them in a bunch of countries, they've all worked. They've all increased economic activity, allowed people to make better choices for themselves, let people set up businesses or escape poverty or escape abuse. Can we just implement?
The knee jerk reaction to socialism baffles me. Look around you. Greed is emptying our pockets, filling our rivers with shit & our towns with boarded up shops. Renationalise utilities & public transport. Enrich NHS & council services. Booster wages.
For the many not the few.

The Water Companies - that were given permission by our government to pour sewage into our seas and rivers up to 800 times a day - paid out 1.4 billion in dividends last year.
Tories - business before people & the environment party?
