SOME ACTUAL FACTS @RishiSunak

Social mobility in this country is now at its worst in over 50 years

Never in living memory have families got so much poorer over a single parliament

Real wages in 2024 are forecast to be lower than they were in 2006

The UK has just been ranked by Unicef - the United Nations Children's Fund as the worst among the world’s richest countries in child poverty levels

More than 14 million people now living in poverty

One million adults can’t afford to eat every day

9 million skipping meals and cutting back on food and millions more can’t afford to heat their homes

After fourteen years of Conservative Government We’ve got untreated sewage dumped in our rivers, crumbling schools and hospitals and Cash-strapped local authorities across the UK are forced to take out massive 50 year loans at soaring rates of interest in the aftermath of the Tories catastrophic mini-budget

Does it sound like your plan is working?

[Paul Hollingsworth @paulholly]

@BetckeTimo @LizWebsterSBF @mikegalsworthy @VirginAtlantic This is a disgraceful state of affairs for the UK. Just wanted to comment to say the added ❤️ was sympathy and not happiness with your position.

The London ULEZ expansion is this Tory government’s transport directive. It’s a good thing, but is difficult for people who can’t afford a compliant car. Make up your mind.

[Penny Mordaunt @PennyMordaunt]

The ULEZ scheme expansion doesn’t just affect Londoners. It is having a negative impact on business, traders, charities, armed forces personnel and services travelling to the capital for work. If you are based in Portsmouth and are affected please fill in this survey and help me raise you concerns. Thank you.

The Prime Minister has just posted a new video - telling us with a big fat smile on his face that his plan is working. Tell that to the 14 million people now living in poverty & the kids eating out of bins!

If you share my rage RT this widely

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

This is real journalism. This is real public education.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the BBC fulfilled their public education remit like this.

@brianspong1 @_LiamWalker_ Absolutely like for example a prime minister taking £800 grand from an anonymous donor or cabinet attempting to gerrymander local elections ….,

[Tom Larkin @TomLarkinObs]

One of the most remarkable tales of the local elections unfolded before a single vote was cast.

A story about power and democracy a long way from Westminster.

And this man - Steve Turner - who’s the Conservative Police Commissioner for Redcar. He wanted a second job... THREAD

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

Again… if anyone *outside* a polling station is trying to turn you away for not having ID / ‘correct’ ID, or asking gently about ID…

…they are not being helpful & saving you time - they are preventing accurate recording of election data - and it may be criminal.

It is an horrendous story. I rather wonder why the execs at the PO are not facing charges. It can’t just be the incompetence of the board.

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

Please retweet this many, many, many times. It's horrific.
@MarinaHyde is so right.
Why isn't this is a huge scandal?

Hundreds of lives ruined. Not a single person held to account. And still: silence on the Post Office scandal | Marina Hyde https://t.co/hiTNKSc699

[Paul Hollingsworth @paulholly]

@SaraJane101 @mikegalsworthy Or more likely shows that married Asian woman are expected to manage the home. There’s nothing to show levels of benefit and your extrapolation is fatally flawed.

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

This is absolutely right in every detail. The Government are custodians of our culture - of our arts and our music and our institutions. They have a duty to protect and enhance them for future generations - not to treat them as collateral damage in a pathetic culture war.

[Tobi @TobiFrenzen]

The @Conservatives absolutely detest this honest campaign ad, which was recently released by a disgruntled CCHQ job applicant.

So please, let's not hamper their upcoming #LocalElection prospects, or embarrass them any further, by accidentally sharing it!

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

38% increase in 1.8% of rape cases charged is nothing to crow about. I don't need a maths A-level to know that any % increase in nothing is still nothing. Forever asking us to be grateful for failure

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

Chances of Jeremy Hunt’s ambition to make UK next Silicon Valley dismissed as “zero” on Newsnight by tech guru Herman Hauser. Only one of big three - EU, China or US - has a hope. Brexit thus biggest loss of sovereignty “since 1066”. He is right. Soon this will be a commonplace.
