we are all incompatible, but it is the work of love to make us graciously accomodate eachother and ourselves to each others incompatibilities. #allaindebotton #philosophy #love https://t.co/bZsYkabOrg

[Robert Peston @Peston]

If Sunday Times is correct that Sunak wants to abolish inheritance tax, this quote in its scoop from a government insider is just priceless, by way of justification for the tax cull: “a lot of people don’t know that they won’t pay it”. The point, which this government adviser thinks few people know, is that the tax is only payable on estates worth more than £1m, for most families. So the PM would be campaigning to give a tax break for a minority, predominantly in London and the rich south, but his colleagues apparently think the vast majority won’t notice

British Gas profits going up by 900% while UK British living standards fall the fastest in 70 years...

These are the same people who used "fire & rehire" to force their employees to accept worse terms.

Keep that in mind next time the Tories tell you capitalism is a good thing.

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

It would take the average UK worker more than 32,000 years to make what British Gas just made in 6 months.

This is a cost-of-greed crisis — and millions of people are paying the price.

There is an alternative: bring energy into democratic public ownership!

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

British Gas just reported record profits: £969,000,000 in 6 months, nearly 10x what it made last year.

Your sky-high bills are their obscene profits.

It's time to bring energy into public ownership, running it to meet your needs, not their greed.
