I just signed the petition to end taxpayers' money being spent on subsidised alcohol in the Houses of Parliament. Will you sign too? https://t.co/Zmh2Wmede6 via @38degrees

Taking tents away from rough sleepers - and punishing charities who give those tents out? What a cruel idea. It won't fix homelessness. It'll just make people's lives harder. Shame on you @SuellaBraverman. Sign now to get these plans scrapped: https://t.co/Spt3qZivwR

Dear President @JoeBiden and global leaders: How many more children must die before you support the global call for a ceasefire? As people from across the world, we call for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the blockade in Gaza. #CeasefireNow https://t.co/wGHMiOKR5h

📢 Being an MP is a full time job.

I just signed the petition stating that MPs should not be allowed to take holiday while Parliament is sitting or take second jobs while they are a Member of Parliament. Will you sign too?

'Heritage' cuts many ways, not just 'white+imperialist'. Hear the truth being stated here

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

Some white people find this poster offensive. Asking my wonderful non-Native alliance — are you offended by this?

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

Ok, this had nearly 1.5million views since I posted it a few hours ago ( according to Twitter analytics, of course), which clearly indicates this is a surprise and a shock to a lot of people. What do we do next? Is it legal?

[Richard Hopper @Hopper4Hopper]

Sneaky strategy - almost under the wire. Well-stated @mrjamesob and RT @yobgol

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Every time you hear a Tory MP claim, ahead of next week's Budget, that we need more cuts and can't afford to give workers a proper pay rise remember:

Total wealth of Britain's billionaires

▪️2012: £212 Billion
▪️2022: £653 Billion

It's time for a Wealth Tax on the super-rich!

Absolutely F*****G INCREDIBLE!

Rishi Sunak just spent 2 minutes boasting about how Northern Ireland is the "most exciting exciting investment zone on the planet" because it has full access to the UK and EU market...

You know... like we did before Brexit!

Thoughts and prayers with Boris Johnson’s ambitions and narcissism at this difficult time

[Dr. Jennifer Cassidy @OxfordDiplomat]

Disturbingly politically blind. Brexiteer Steve Baker on @BBCRadio4 just said: “What an extraordinary opportunity for Northern Ireland: dual access to both markets.”

You mean the “extraordinary opportunity” that was available to the ENTIRE UK before Brexit. That opportunity?

Daniel: I live in the Netherlands. We have too many tomatoes! We used to export them to the UK but it now takes a truck driver 77 hours of queueing to take tomatoes to the UK and all truck drivers simply refuse. So now we have cheap abundant tomatoes here in the Netherlands.

I just signed the petition calling on the Government to rethink its jet zero plans to properly tackle the aviation industries impact on the climate crisis. Will you add your name? https://t.co/tgbsKfFJD0 via @38_degrees

[Richard Hopper @Hopper4Hopper]

I'm supporting @mcsuk, demanding @GOVUK protect people and planet by turning off the tap on chemical pollution. Take action to #StopOceanPoison today!: https://t.co/wUt7RB5b5V

Or will he? Time for a healthy u-turn?... Along with King Charles III

[Jonathan Lis @jonlis1]

So the King was forbidden to go, now the PM can’t even be arsed. This is the summit we hosted *checks notes* one year ago to assert ‘global leadership’ on the climate crisis. Beneath contempt. https://t.co/uCsk3A90Uz

Unless they are Prime Minister?

@campbellclaret @VesperUK @paulwaugh Those who shun state education shouldn't be the ones who fund it.

[Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 @DeborahMeaden]

What's going on here? .....because the answers will range from inappropriate to downright frightening from our Chancellor #KwasiKwarteng I do think he should be asked to explain himself? @Channel4News

[Richard Hopper @Hopper4Hopper]

New criteria are essential for those standing for Parliament to assure and maintain integrity.
As for those now in government -
... Liars and charlatans. They should never be allowed anywhere near power again

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

So no US trade deal. Another of the big Brexit lies nailed. And on they go pretending it is going to plan, going well, can be made to work and none of our economic problems have anything to do with it. Liars and charlatans. They should never be allowed anywhere near power again
