In an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.

🚨 The cycle of democracy keeps turning.

I guess we are all going to find out just how crazy and fascist Donald Trump really is.

The 'Farmers' who have held their lands without tax for a 1000 years.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

I called families to tell them their beloved was dying. I read out messages from absent family members. I saw the British public behave with such *staggering* decency as they obeyed the rules to protect the vulnerable.

Is my anger 'overblown'?

She has absolutely no idea.

Is he the multi-billionaire James Dyson who bought estates to become one of Britain’s biggest landowners?

The same flag-waving Dyson who backed Brexit then moved his HQ from Wiltshire to Singapore?

I do believe he is.

A horrible mess for some private school parents who paid fees in advance to try to avoid Labour's VAT hike. And it's entirely the fault of the private schools and their associations.

A quick thread on how to avoid VAT successfully, and how the schools didn't..

The Country Land and Business Association says the new £1m cap on agricultural inheritance tax relief will "harm 70,000 farms". That's 1/3 of all farms.

What does the actual data show? Less than 500 farms/year will be pay more tax as a result of this change every year. Possibly as few as 100.

The State Assets that Margaret Thatcher sold are now worth more than £10tn.

That is enough to fund the NHS for 50 years, she was only in power 11 years.

Never mind the chance to buy their own house, she should have given EVERYONE a FREE house, the theft is unbelievable.

S&P downgrades Thames Water debt into ‘junk’.

Major shareholders have written off investment.

Credit rating is junk.

Water companies want price hikes of up to 84% to rescue them.

No bill rises, no bailout, let them crash. Nationalise at low cost.

Privatisation obsession

UK privatised North Sea oil/gas. Norway didn't.

UK collected $1.72 per barrel in tax, handed tax cuts to rich; Norway $21.35 per barrel, saved for future.
Norway has $1.4trn sovereign fund; UK in mess, obsessed with privatisation

@BBCr4today @Emmabarnett Is he leaving in search of someone who can do eyebrow management?

Can Britain afford a 6% increase in the minimum wage? With me in the studio to discuss this are an £91,000 a year Tory MP, a £250,000 a year journalist, and an investment banker who has just been given a bonus worth five times his already astronomical salary.

DWP to get the power to take money from people's bank accounts and pay packets as part of a new crackdown on benefit fraud.

All benefit claimants assumed to be criminal. No right to privacy.

No equivalent law for tax dodgers, money launderers.

Five nights at the Hilton and a booking service.

The MP for Clacton travelled to the US to support Donald Trump.

So why hasn’t he declared the donations that paid for his stay?

Fiscal rules:

- No child should live in poverty

- Everyone should have a decent home

- Dying from hypothermia must never happen

Blow balancing the books. These are things that really matter.

[Alex Nunns @alexnunns]

A close British ally is plausibly accused of an ongoing genocide and is burning hospital patients alive with unwavering official support. Meanwhile, journalist @AsaWinstanley, who opposes the genocide and burning people alive, is arrested by British police. It’s like a sick joke.

If England hires a German football manager, the next thing you know we'll have a German royal family, and then where will we be?
