NEW: Around 65% of the cabinet are privately educated. This is more than double that of Theresa May’s 2016 Cabinet (30%), and more than David Cameron’s 2015 Cabinet (50%). Just 7% of Brits are privately educated. A two-tier education system creates a two-tier society.

But your gas bill rose £529 last week.
The effort not to be rude about this total rip off is a serious challenge.
So because a bunch of unelected right wing zealots trashed the economy, we’re back to austerity & all its miseries? Please RT if you want a general election now.
A reminder that Jeremy Hunt, when Health Secretary, sold the state-owned NHS blood plasma supplier - Plasma Resources UK - to Bain Capital, a US company co-founded Mitt Romney, in a £230m deal.
Bain Capital then sold it on to the Chinese Creat Group. For £820m.
