instead of being crippled by Brexit and forced into Irexit, Ireland planned ahead, bypassed the UK landbridge with direct ferries and has increased imports and exports with EU and NI.

[John O’Brennan @JohnOBrennan2]

Ireland set for economic growth of almost 10% in 2022/2023, well above the EU average.

Because, of course, better paid jobs are just waiting to be filled.
Or perhaps the Tories haven’t noticed that the UK is now a low wage economy thanks to their economic policies.

The price at which your energy company buys gas has fallen to its lowest level in 1 year.

During that same time, the price your energy company charges you for gas has climbed 77%.

A rip off.

Will schools use the summer break to finally make it safe for our children to return in September?
Because COVID won’t be gone by then, and our kids deserve CLEAN AIR.

#ToryCorruption Newly released documents show that Michael Gove was involved in the negotiations through which a PPE company affiliated with Tory peer Michelle Mone managed to secure lucrative government contracts. https://t.co/p3UAEv6oWh

Former MP who lost her seat because she stood up for what she believed in putting the interests of her country & constituents b4 her own. Could’ve gone along w #Brexit bought off w a top job in Govt or seat in House of Lords as others did. I’ve never regretted the choices I made

[Eleanor - Brexit Is Shit @Elemum]

The NI Protocol is actually not ‘crippling NI businesses’ as their economy is doing better than the rest of UK because they can still trade freely with the EU

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

The Express refers to the mobile roaming charges as "new EU fees" in the article yet doesn't mention Brexit.

They're clearly trying to portray them falsely as something imposed by the EU, and not the result of no longer being protected by EU law.

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

"Hartlepool Tory councillor announced resignation after 24 hours"

"The councillor, who pleaded guilty on 28 April to assaulting his wife by beating, announced his resignation today after holding his seat following Thursday’s local election."

[UrbanTiger @dmclean78]

@EveningExpress Definitely, if you believe Union works in your favour in Scotland you are delusional. Do some homework! Brexit alone is justification but let's not forget that Scot Gov budget was absolutely hammered by Tory party over a decade ago. Yet we still mitigate most harmful policy.

One of my favourite things I ever learned is that women did not start dying in childbirth in high numbers until the 17th century, when male doctors took over from midwives. Midwives prioritised the life of the mother over the child all through the Medieval period 1/

First it was people power at #KenmureStreet & now victory at #NicolsonSquare Edinburgh as @pritipatel’s @ukhomeoffice forced to leave empty handed ✊🏾 ‘These are our neighbours let them go❤️’ https://t.co/I2bvjW69NK

[Jenny Reilly @crit_gen]

I'm amused at the idea that women are having to prove their feminist credentials whilst men who say they are women have to prove nothing.

My mind is blown how we've gone from nationalist voices being dubbed on the BBC, to the BBC saying this place was designed to suppress the nationalist voice #ae22 #AE2022

@Chunkyferryman @gormley_alexa @ChildOfAlba @Lesley58512134 @Missgabillard @LordMcConnell what assets have been sold off and brought benefit to Scotland? Royal Mail prices have soared and delivery reduced as just one example! National Grid? Energy? BP? Brit Gas? benefits for Scotland???
