@LeShuttle_Help This is actually ridiculous. We were delayed over 4 hours this morning. Whole day of our long weekend gone. Should be criminal to spout such lies. How does this account have 'Help' in their name

We are appalled some politicians are blaming immigrants for the current crisis in NHS dentistry.

It’s as offensive as it is inaccurate.

A thread 🧵

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

On Friday 40,000 BT and Openreach workers will strike for the first time since 1987

BT made £1.3bn profit, gave £700m+ to shareholders, CEO £3.5m (32% increase) financial officer £2.2m (25% increase)

They then imposed a below inflation offer on staff

See you on the picket line

Every town and city already has a memorial to Margaret Thatcher. It's called a Food Bank.

[Claudia Webbe @ClaudiaWebbe]

Shell made $19.3 billion in profit last year and they paid zero Tax. Yet, the Tories still gave them a rebate of $120 million.

Don’t believe for a second when these energy companies say they cannot afford to lower prices - it’s pure greed

[Britain People @Britain_People]

Rishi Sunak gave his wife's company (who is richer than the Queen) £1.3 Million of Covid recovery funds.

Then it went under and her companies failed to pay HMRC £623,000.

Now he's imposing highest taxes in 70 years on the little people.

Bankers bonuses up 44%, bankers profits at 15 year highs, energy corp profits above £40bn this year, supermarket profits up, rents up, water corp profits up.

There is no cost of living crisis.

There is a corporate greed crisis.

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Oh for goodness sake.

What is the possible justification for cutting income tax rate while raising NI rate?

Drives further wedge between taxation of unearned income and earned income. Yet again benefits pensioners and those living off rents at expense of workers

Bet the roof on the Millennium Dome gets replaced more quickly than the flammable cladding on residential tower blocks

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

They shrunk the NHS by 8%. Yes, during a pandemic with an extra 10%+ new patients.
They bypassed GPs, pushing patients to commercial non-clinical providers of Covid tests and trace
They took the money for Covid and gave it to their mates. £36bn to T&T, £0.25bn to GP services.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Natwest have just announced a Bankers’ Bonus pool increase of 44%.

There is no cost of living crisis. There is a greed crisis.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

On the day in question - 14 Jan 2021 - 1248 people died of Covid. We were rationing ventilators. People died waiting for ambulances. It was sheer, unimaginable hell.

But for the prime minister? Yet another Prosecco time.

His partying makes me sick 😔

Meta as in “we are a cancer to democracy metastasizing into a global surveillance and propaganda machine for boosting authoritarian regimes and destroying civil society… for profit!”

@SouthernRailUK Do you really think this is an acceptable timetable for Monday morning #rushhour ???

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Today, a government led by an old Etonian, a Chancellor who's the richest MP, a Cabinet that's ⅔ privately educated, and whose party is funded by ⅓ of UK billionaires, will slash Universal Credit, robbing £1,040 from 6 million families.

Let's call this what it is: Class war.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

Today the Tories are taking £1,000 out of the pockets of low-income families. This winter thousands more children will go hungry, just like I did.

Meanwhile, the Tories have given their donors and mates £3.5 billion in contracts.

If I wasn’t angry I wouldn’t be doing my job.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Boris Johnson's tax rise means a landlord who owns and rents out dozens of properties won’t pay a penny more, but the tenants working in full-time jobs will.

They are hitting young and low-paid workers while leaving the wealthy untouched.

11 years of Tory unfairness continues.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Would the Conservatives ever force their super-rich mates to live on two-thirds of the minimum wage?

Not in a million years.

So why do they think it’s acceptable to force that on working class people in the Midlands and the North?

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

We don't have a "migrant crisis".

We have a crisis of empathy, of solidarity, and of a Government that serves the 1% while scapegoating the marginalised.
