@Eesy20 @thom_brooks @Keir_Starmer To be fair to Thom, Starmer is a very superficial person.

@thom_brooks @Keir_Starmer Are you drunk?

@tiffy201 Not really a friend is she?

Your energy bills are soaring while gas and oil companies make BILLIONS in super-profits.

The answer is simple: lower their profits with a Windfall Tax and use the money raised to lower your bills.

@Liam_Holman99 @utb_smith The abysmal Tory candidate was protected by a perfidious PLP and a corrupt media.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

In just 3 weeks time the Tories are hitting you with 2 tax rises

1. A freeze to Personal Tax Allowance (which after inflation is a huge cut)

2. An increase in your National Insurance Tax

On the exact same day, they’re collecting a £2,000 pay rise for themselves.

Turns out Boris Johnson was responsible all along for making it as difficult as possible for Ukrainian refugees to seek sanctuary in Britain. Why am I not surprised?

We are DONE! We are overwhelmed NOW! Ignoring and hoping we "get through" does not reassure the 1.4 million NHS staff!

Like and RT to show support for your NHS ❤🤙🏼

@SpitfireVC I assume you are saying this with an ironic voice :)

@ErdmuteD You seem to be making an argument for keeping migrants out.

Should all MPs who accepted Russian money be suspended, pending a formal enquiry? #JohnsonOut46

[Windrush Lives @WindrushLives]

NABB is back in the Lords today.

It builds hatred of refugees into the fabric of our democracy; it writes race-based tiers of nationality rights into law, which will create another Windrush scandal.

In the middle of a pandemic, our courts have been sending mentally ill & vulnerable to prison - despite not having committed crimes - for sleeping rough, begging & even feeding pigeons: Rona Epstein on the 'inhumanity' of anti-social behaviour laws https://t.co/3LrWxkxfCJ

@DonnellyStephen This is a pediatrician in Galway speaking👇 Better placed than most to know the score. My kids both just had Covid and my daughter's class is riddled with it. If there are long term consequences, who do we blame. Schools ARE NOT SAFE

Imagine someone taking a large wedge of your money, and passing it on to a third party indiscriminately and without due diligence. And then writing it off.

Rishi Sunak has just done that to every tax payer in the UK. Why is he still in a job?

[Gareth Thomas @ProfGarethT]

I witnessed a pack of hounds in pursuit of a hare earlier today. Reported it to the police. Was asked if the people with the pack were travellers. When I replied that they appeared to be from the local hunt, I was firmly told that “Hunts don’t do that.”

And there you have it.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

In Starmer’s Labour a welcome is given to disaffected hard right wing Tories; Blair gets a knighthood; Corbyn is denied the whip & Laura Pidcock feels she must resign from the NEC.

That’s not a legacy; it’s a charge sheet.
