Bread up 13%; pasta up 16%; baked beans up 21%; butter up 21.5%; milk up 26.3%; fuel costs up 42% in the year; energy bills up by 300% and rising.

Don’t tell us inflation is 9.4%. For ordinary people with ordinary bills, real inflation is over 30% & climbing.

Apparently, according to Spare Room, forever giving over a portion of your wages to wealthy Landlords and never being able to own your own home "can only be a good thing..."..........

If @BorisJohnson and @RishiSunak won't resign over #Partygate, Lord Geidt must demand that the PM allows him to investigate both of them for breaches of the Ministerial Code.

If the PM refuses him permission to do this, then Lord Geidt will have no choice but to step down.

The Prime Minister has gone back on his pledge to restrict MPs’ 2nd jobs - a pledge made in response to yet another parliamentary lobbying scandal.

It’s time to restrict MPs’ 2nd jobs to make sure they put the interests of their constituents first.

After nearly a year spent fighting undemocratic legislation in the last Queen's Speech, it looks we're going to be very busy in the coming year too!

There were only 4 cases of convicted voter fraud in the 2019 election........

Great video from @UnlockDemocracy and @Shoutout_UK explaining why we must say no to Photo ID

[Unlock Democracy @UnlockDemocracy]

Photo ID won't make our elections fairer.

We've teamed up with @Shoutout_UK to explain why.

A newly qualified nurse on £25k would have to live 40,000 years, work every single one of those years & never spend a penny, to earn a billion pounds.

Billionaires do not work harder than nurses. The system is rigged.

Tax the billionaires not nurses.

Russia Today has been barred from reporting in the UK because in the end it became an apologist for an illegal invasion of another country.

Gordon Brown & Ed Miliband left Labour with a “mountain to climb”.

Funny how we never hear about that, isn’t it?

And how Mr Corbyn brought Labour the closest to power since the Blair years.

[Unlock Democracy @UnlockDemocracy]

We are joining the rally today to #DefendOurDemocracy

12noon, Parliament Sq.

With Government plans to stop demos in Parliament Square and ban 'noisy' protests, this could be the last chance to have your voice heard on the partisan #electionsbill

[Jess Barnard @JessicaLBarnard]

My housemate who doesn’t really ‘do politics/protest’ is asking if there is a way we can all en mass refuse to pay the energy companies���

[Jacob Webb @Jacob_T_Webb]

As soon as Johnson goes, and the media rally behind the new Tory leader, Starmer will once again begin to tumble in the polls.

[Jacob Webb @Jacob_T_Webb]

And the rise in the polls currently is due to Boris Johnson's failures rather than anything to do with Starmer.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

With Starmer as leader Labour has lost 150,000 members; dropped an estimated £8ml pa in revenue; had 3 rounds of staff redundancies; asked staff to take a pay cut; seen the Bakers Union disaffiliate & opened the membership book for Tories.

Competent? That’s free fall.

[Tory Fibs @ToryFibs]

Almost all journalists & MPs who use the EHRC report as a stick to best Jeremy Corbyn never read it.

I did. And here is what it said.
