Seemingly permanently cross

Today over 100,000 former mineworkers across the UK received a 32% uplift in their pensions.

I am proud that we have ended the injustice of the Mineworkers' Pension Scheme.

That’s the difference a Labour government makes to our coalfield communities.

Czech Billionaire Daniel Křetínský is taking over Royal Mail for £3.5bn.

His first step is to halve mail deliveries which will save £300m by getting rid of staff.

Prices will go up, employee's down, services down.

And every penny in profit goes to his tax haven accounts.

Genuinely jaw dropping. What a vile man.

last Saturday we packed a U-Haul with everything we own and drove from Seattle to Portland, and when we walked into our new home (we’re renting), it was immediately clear that squatters were living here. (1/?)

The Washington Post reports that Michael Anton and Sebastian Gorka had a falling out over who should receive credit for writing Trump's speeches. This is incorrect. In this thread, I will tell you the real reason why Anton dislikes Gorka. 🧵

"It doesn't matter that Hunter Biden is a private citizen. The American people deserve to know. Congress needs to investigate to the fullest extent possible."

Oh...

"Clive Bailye, one of the five farmers who organised the march in the capital, wrote: 'only a disabled, unemployed, black, LGBT, transgender, non tax paying, homeless, vegan immigrant in immediate need of NHS help' would vote Labour."

@Katheri48033429 I wonder if he can 'take back' his resignation from congress? If not, that leaves Trump with a very thin majority there....

[Tom Bacon @TomABacon]

So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

Real farmers v Tory propaganda

It's Christmaaaaas! BBC4 are repeating THE BOX OF DELIGHTS from Saturday 7th December at 7.10pm, with a new introduction from director Renny Rye at 7pm!

[Viviane: Holding Burnham to account @LaindonFEMINIST]

I wouldn’t mind if the farmers were out there fighting for no one to pay inheritance tax. But no, they’re fine with you paying it Just not them.

[Mikey Smith @mikeysmith]

Would that be major Tory donors JCB? Whose owner let Boris Johnson live in his granny flat rent free for several months? Righto

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

They better end up in prison like Just Stop Oil.

[Benjamin Butterworth @benjaminbutter]

When the poorest families were hit by the budget, he crossed the Atlantic to back it.

When rich land owners have to pay the same tax as others, he suddenly finds himself worrying how families will cope.

Tells you all you need to know about Andrew Lloyd-Webber.

imagine turning on the television in the 60s and you see judy garland and barbra streisand belting their hearts out... that must've been the ultimate religious experience

[Dumber than a Bowl full of Mice #Fella 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @BowlOfMice]

Bit of a long 🧵 but I promise, it is actually going somewhere, not just a rant on Trump's cabinet picks.

But the rant part first:

Marco Rubio (Sec of State)
- More or less qualified, but has become a whipped dog, begging for his master's love, since 2016

“RFK Jr. is the poster boy for the new Trump administration, a rich man who never has had to worry about a thing in his life, putting the lives of ordinary Americans in jeopardy because he thinks he knows better than scientists”
