@JonathanTod_TFP The Tory party should have been kicked out a long time ago. They are all fascist, Racist and inhumane. The most evil party since the Nazis.
When you add up the amounts Truss, Braverman, Patel have had in severance pay for either doing wrong or being incompetent, and getting sacked it's truly galling at the best of times.
But when you read today's Joseph Rowntree Foundation report of poverty and destitution @jrf_uk
- 4 million experiencing the most extreme form of poverty
- including 1 million children
- single people 25 - 44 yrs remain the key group experiencing destitution, they are morally bankrupt.
This is the most uncaring, self-serving group of politicians we've had for decades. Their immortality shames our nation.
At @VoteTrueAndFair we 💯 agree with JRF: 'turning the tide on destitution is an urgent moral mission...we need political leadership for that mission'.

Imagine if we had a system in the UK where politicians were criminally investigated and charged for lying/making false statements! A similar statutory office to Economic and #Corruption Prosecutor’s Office - a @VoteTrueAndFair policy proposal
Austria’s Sebastian Kurz charged with making false statements https://t.co/zRfCiFmVLz
I said on @GMB today, in reference to new depressing stats on the numbers struggling to pay mortgages and rent, that its going to be a nightmare year for some. I've seen a few references here calling me a "prophet of doom" the same attack phrase used by some last year when I was warning we needed energy intervention, again based on known facts of huge impending price hikes (eventually govt intervened so they 'only' doubled not trebled).
To try to demonise a person explaining the situation and try and knock down anyone warning people to prepare seems a dangerous precedent.
Advance warning, and raising the issue publically, helps both individuals prepare and puts pressure on policy makers to act before it happens, rather than leave it until its too late.
I hope I try and make positive practical suggestions. I won't wear blinkers and a gag to the plight millions are facing.
Hello @thecarolemalone,
On TV just now, you said:
Brexit got us the fastest vaccine rollout
I replied:
Stop peddling that lie
You said:
What are you talking about?
So…
Here is the CEO of Govt’s own agency to explain why it’s a lie
So, please stop

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. Happy #WorldBookDay
No nurses, means no NHS
Despite what Ministers are saying in interviews the Government continues to refuse to negotiate a fair pay rise for NHS staff
The RCN have made the right call to intensify strike action #FairPayforNursing
As a nurse I'm striking today for....
Fair pay
To protect my patients
& to save the NHS
I'm striking as a last resort.
Please give us a follow and RT if you support striking NHS workers today #FairPayforNursing 💙
