Just remember, this is the sort of thing that @Conservatives instinctively celebrate

Child poverty and child starvation in the UK is big business.

@Penbat1 @13sarahmurphy @steverichards14 @ShippersUnbound @DavidGHFrost That’s true. I was addressing the assertion of “dimness” and at least part of the question of capability

@13sarahmurphy @steverichards14 @ShippersUnbound @DavidGHFrost Tbf, I know someone (an instinctive lefty) who worked alongside him on post of the Brexit negotiations (through duty rather than choice) and they said he was very impressive intellectually (my friend has multiple doctorates so I take their view as credible)

Liz Truss is planning to decimate your rights at work - forcing Brits to work harder and longer.

Her plans include:

- Allowing bosses to sack you if you refuse to work over 48 hours a week
- Slashing the minimum amount of paid holiday you can take
- Reducing legal rest breaks

There's an irony when Tories demand others graft. The leadership results could've been announced last night and the winning candidate starting work this morning.
There rather a lot to do.

PLEASE STOP saying "Why do people keep voting for the Tories?" or "What will it take for people to finally stop voting Tory?"

THE UK NEVER VOTES TORY!

The majority of the UK has ALWAYS voted for more lefty parties.

The problem is the voting system!

The fact that we're talking about rationing energy, kids dying from the cold, thousands of businesses facing closure, millions unable to afford to keep warm this winter, should be a matter of national shame.

None of this just "happened".

It's the result of political choices.

Watched Jamie Oliver on the One Show demonstrating how to cook using minimal stove heat for less than 3 mins. Media can you STOP normalising this. It’s not normal. In one the richest nations in the world. It’s not gas cooking, it’s gas lighting. We need to take to the streets 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Thank to this man:

Brexit isn’t done.
200k Britons are dead.
40 hospitals aren’t built.
Poverty is rife.
The NHS is imploding.
Gun crime is rising.
Life expectancy is falling.
Energy prices are horrifying.
Food bank use is exponential.

But yeah sure, Boris. The big calls right.

Why do you never see highly paid CEOs defending their astronomical bonuses & pay rises on TV? What you will see is workers & Union leaders constantly grilled for wanting a pay rise & decent workers rights. The media are ALWAYS on the side of the bosses. ALWAYS!

Can't pay your bills this winter, buy a kettle now and save £10 a few years down the line.

That's a saving of 3p a day in year three - before taking inflation into account.

How ever will we cope without this great brains trust?!
