Lateral flow tests are no longer free from next week. Government are raising our taxes, food, travel & now making sure the poorer can’t protect themselves & others from sickness. People voted for this bunch!?

Sometimes a picture really is worth 1000 words. Analysis in 2020 found that privatised water companies paid £57bn in dividends to shareholders since their foundation in 1991 to 2019. Now they say they need better infrastructure to stop piping sewage into rivers, lakes, and sea.

Do trans people cover for predators like drunk old men who grab women's asses in pubs, like you did to me at a skeptic event in London circa 2010? LMAO take a seat you pervy ass Marshall Applewhite-looking fuck face

…but what lower migration won’t do is address the root causes of our disastrous wage stagnation of the past decade. Those are 1) inflation spikes caused by hits to our national economic position (financial crisis + Brexit) and 2) truly awful productivity growth (ie none of it)

[Torsten Bell @TorstenBell]

It’s in part temporary because 1) in time the supply of HGV drivers will respond, reducing current high wages 2) the underlying challenge for drivers wages is that power lies further up their supply chains (eg supermarkets/consumers). That hasn’t changed.

[Torsten Bell @TorstenBell]

But is this an end to low wage economy? Nope it’s a relative (and in some ways temporary) wage change: the direct effect is that HGV driver’s earn more but the indirect effect is everyone else earns less (as prices of goods rise in response to higher delivery costs)

@skieskat @GiaGia775 @lovsxshum @johannaabeeytch Yes, by partying during a pandemic without vaccines.

@skieskat @GiaGia775 @lovsxshum @johannaabeeytch That people will defend anything when it implicates their fave.

[omerta @omertaamor]

@skieskat @GiaGia775 @lovsxshum @johannaabeeytch It was whiskey she was promoting at the event.

@GiaGia775 @lovsxshum @johannaabeeytch Pregnant here https://t.co/4z0clcvmwh

[omerta @omertaamor]

@GiaGia775 @lovsxshum @johannaabeeytch You can check her timeline. She was pregnant February last year, yet went out to party in Miami and took photos of her drinking at restaurants.

[omerta @omertaamor]

@lovsxshum @johannaabeeytch Nobody was vaccinated in January so they knew what they were doing 🤷‍♀️ I don't even know anyone who would leave their 3 month old for a week, let alone to party in a pandemic.

[omerta @omertaamor]

@johannaabeeytch @lovsxshum They went to Miami without the baby at 3 months, then she went to NY and left the baby with him and now it looks like she's in Miami without her again. The baby isn't even a year old. I really don't know any parents who can be so casual about their own baby.

[omerta @omertaamor]

@johannaabeeytch @SeLBanewood Like when she and Matt left their baby in Cleveland to party for a week in Miami before the vaccines had been rolled out. I don't know any parent who could do that.

[The Purple Pimpernel @Eyeswideopen69]

People keep talking about the class divide in the UK as if this somehow dictates how people vote.

It doesn’t!

Education dictates how people vote, not class.

The more educated you are, the less likely you are to vote Tory, irrespective of your upbringing.

Cronyism is an awkward one for us to address in journalism. Hard to find someone who can write about it who isn’t a son, daughter, sister, brother, other half of someone etc important who fixed it for them to get their job in the first place.
