🚨 NEW: Oil giant Shell has just recorded £32,200,000,000 in profit – the highest in 115 years.

Will we see its corporate executives named and shamed for being “greedy”?

Or does that only apply to teachers and nurses fighting for fair pay?

I’m trying to grow my follower count larger than Sajid Javid, because he wants NHS patients to be charged+ I spend my working life fighting against NHS privatisation🚨

Just need to find 37000 brilliant NHS supporters….

Could you possibly help by RTing this + following me?🤞💙

Charging sick people for being sick would end the NHS as we know it. Don't accept paying for your right to healthcare. Sign the petition here #DontYouDare https://t.co/AWVNq1KtTO

I support NHS workers going on strike. Only a decent pay rise will help keep staff, fill vacancies and protect patient care #PutNHSPayRight

[Katherine Coussement @k_coussement]

I support workers going on strike. They are not alone in this struggle, and I stand with them in their efforts to improve workplaces. https://t.co/3DyT26sKDr #TogetherWeRise via @unisontheunion

The cost of meeting the nurses' pay demand - £1.6bn 🏥

Cost of Sunak's bank tax giveaway - £7.3bn 💸

They have the money to give nurses a proper pay rise- they just don't want to.

RT if you back a real pay rise for our nurses 👊

Can we get a RT of support for postal workers?

Bullied, pressured, intimidated, told they face the sack, losing money, an employer that is out to destroy them.

Yet they will not bow. They will not give in. They will not lay down.

Up. The. Posties.

[CWU @CWUnews]

This is a which side are you on moment

Mick Lynch and rail workers or this rotten government?

@DaveWardGS and posties or bullying bosses and shareholders?

@DrJoGrady and university workers on insecure contacts or millionaire vice chancellors?

RT if you are with the workers

Liz Truss going is not enough.

Austerity must go.

Poverty wages must go.

Foodbank queues must go.

Cold homes in winter must go.

A new suit in Downing Street means nothing to our people.

Fix the society you have broken – or get out of the way.

As Govt rips up its budget but rows back on energy help, we’re focusing on the real impact on people’s lives.

Our new #CostOfLivingCrisis map shows thousands of such stories. Zoom into your area to see how badly we need a rescue plan for our economy, families & public services.

[Katherine Coussement @k_coussement]

Dear @KwasiKwarteng, we need pay rises, not tax cuts for bankers. #EndThePayCrisis, give workers the pay rise they need to support the economy and keep people out of poverty.#EmergencyBudget #MiniBudget

@srjudithl @RevRichardColes Libraries are one of the very few places that fit that description

[Charles Arthur @charlesarthur]

I keep expecting an African TV station to do a segment standing in a Kent field saying “the rains have failed in this breakway country where the deposed ruler still clings to power, and people are worrying about soaring costs and how they will feed their children”. It’d be karma.

[Aditya Chakrabortty @chakrabortty]

"Thems the breaks," they say to the 180,000 dead of Covid, the families enduring the biggest benefit cut since WW2, the schoolkids denied catch-up funding. "Thems the breaks." All just a game to these people.

Feeling incredibly proud to be part of the ALN and such a great conference, with excellent presentations and inspiring keynotes. Despite the chaos raging elsewhere today I feel hopeful! #ALN22

The values-driven work we are doing in libraries is legitimate - @JSendall
