Why have two Home Secretaries and the sitting Prime Minister intervened on this crook’s behalf?

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

With what appears to have been an assist from Farage and Sunak, the GB News owners hedge fund has reportedly cashed by in betting against NatWest. This requires an urgent investigation so we can find out what has happened.

So do reports of Truss and Kwarteng reportedly having lunch with hedgefunders that short the pound prior to the mini budget. Then after, at a widely reported champagne lunch, where Kwarteng was said to have been advised to double down on their horrifying budget, which further screwed the markets and left millions of Britons facing huge mortgage increases and risk of homelessness.

It’s almost as if the book Jacob Rees Moggs dad wrote is being used as a manual. This is generally how "Sovereign Individuals" operate.

One of Jacob Rees Mogg’s donors is Crispin Odey, ex husband of Murdochs daughter and the man that made millions in the aftermath of Brexit, after donating vast sums to leave groups, he has benefitted from a lot of crashes. He’s also linked to the fossil fuel big wigs, Mogg is vocally pro fracking and was very pro Brexit, but I’m sure that’s just a big coincidence…

Disaster capitalism, shorting the pound, betting against your own country - the antithesis of patriotism. Yet they all claim to be the poster boys for patriotism? Real patriots look around now and feel little but shame for what their nation has become.

That’s how it all generally works though, between the government and powerful people. It’s all high stakes gambling and bank robbing arranged in Prada at the Carlton by the elite, fuck ups orchestrated, billionaires get richer, send it all offshore - then we are left to pay for it, a society in ruins that’s told to accept low pay as food prices and energy bills soar, that face hate crimes as their red meat/ culture war rhetoric impacts our communities, that’s taxed higher as our public services fall to ruins due to government cuts.

Meanwhile, MPs cash in, their pay increases, their expenses increase and their mates divvy out shares then take the money and run, or buy yachts and sail away.

They’re like a posh mafia and we are all being conned on an industrial scale.

I still don’t understand why it’s OK to lift the cap on bankers bonuses to ensure they stay in UK

But it’s not OK to pay Doctors what they they were worth 13 years ago

Doesn’t make sense. Because there is no sense

It’s about wrecking #OurNHS 😕

Utterly ridiculous. And embarrassing. If he had an ounce of shame or self respect he would realise that and have said no thanks

“The reason the UK will have the lowest growth in the G7 next year is Brexit. We’re not going to reverse the decline until we begin to remove the barriers – economic, social, scientific – that we chose to erect with the rest of our continent.” - Brian Cox

526 libdem voters handed the tories Uxbridge. Had they lent their votes to Labour the tories would be gone. An uncomfortable reminder of why tactical voting will be needed to oust tories in some seats come the GE.

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

Well what do you know, the Chief Executive of Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed their factory would have been built in the UK had it not been for Brexit as that was their first choice. So the UK taxpayer has had to fork out £500m to get what they could have had for free.

Sadiq Khan scathing on Tory Mayoral candidate Susan Hall:

“A hard-right politician.. an outspoken supporter of Trump, Boris Johnson and a hard Brexit. She cheered Liz Truss's mini-budget…she doesn't stand up for women. And she hates London's diversity”

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

This should be causing outrage in UK media but not a whimper

[Emily Thornberry @EmilyThornberry]

Well Susan, the winner will be @SadiqKhan

The countries that see the most social mobility…

The most self-made millionaires per capita

The most rags to riches stories

Are not the UK, nor US

They are Scandinavian countries where education is free

And yet all the Tories do is make education more inaccessible.

My brother did a foundation degree in his late 30s, he went on to get a first in his Bachelors degree, aced his master's degree and now has a great job at the University. I cannot stress enough that this saved and changed his life and the life of his kids.
