Hey @airfrance you email my 82 year old aunt offering her €500 eur to change her flight to another day. She agrees; you cancel her flight without rebooking her, don't give her the €500, instead refund her €33 for a YVR - CDG leg, then make her buy a new ticket home for €2000?
Recall: Corbyn is the most smeared politician.
He never took money from arms dealers. He never cosied up to billionaires. He never sold out his principles for power. So they had to destroy him another way — with smears.
I’d like to say ‘I don’t have words’ but I do . Debased , vile , cruel , inhuman , regressive and incalculably selfish . They will stop at nothing in a race to the bottom . https://t.co/QSptpXXLIJ
Andy Burnham has chosen Boston Consulting Group - the multibillion-pound consultancy involved in modelling plans to ethnically cleanse 500,000 Palestinians from Gaza as part of Trump’s so-called ‘Gaza Riviera’, and notorious for corporate restructuring and mass redundancies - to help supposedly end 40 years of neoliberalism.
Yeah… somehow I don’t think that’s going to work.
1/2: Can anyone help? My recently widowed mother-in-law, who is in her 80s, lives on her own in the freezing Scottish Borders, has had her electricity cut off by @ScottishPower for the last 2 days.
"A petition calling for an independent inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israeli genocide in Gaza has passed 100,000 signatures, and will now be considered for debate in Parliament."
The above has NOT been reported on the BBC News website.
Please RT this until it does.
Hey Currys, just want to publicly say your customer service is appalling and not fit for purpose. My son spent £2000 on a laptop in October, when it got delivered, it was the wrong one, so it got sent back, and now we are in November and still waiting for delivery

HEY CANADA, WE COULD DO THIS. 🇨🇦 👇
Rather than leaving homeless people to freeze outside, Minneapolis transformed a warehouse into a village with 100 tiny homes where people sleep safely.
People get a locked door, a safe place to sleep, and 24hr mental health care, substance-use treatment, and employment support, with a clear path toward permanent housing. 👏🤍
Make it make sense @OctopusEnergy 🤯
To summarise, my Octopus account is currently £466.89 in credit. I’m paying £145.94 a month as a single occupant and now you want to increase my monthly payments to £166.38.
How is this at all justifiable?!
Every billionaire's "started in a garage" story conveniently skips the parental loans, elite connections, and safety nets. Bezos got $300k from his parents. Gates' mom sat on IBM's board. Musk's family owned an emerald mine. The garage is just aesthetics; the capital was inherited. Stop calling it self-made when it's generationally funded.
The reason the mainstream media is so angry about the Green Party talking about economic issues is because they would like to pretend the Green Party is a little fringe group of middle-class voters who want to save the trees.
Turns out the Green Party wants to save society too.
So I get an email from @RoyalMail which says “We've now returned your parcel to Your Seller, please contact them for any further information.”
Which would be fine except: Who is “Your Seller”? What’s the parcel? Why is it being returned? Why didn’t you deliver it? How do I contact “Your Seller” about a parcel I’ve no idea what it is. Oh, and the tracking number doesn’t show anything.
What an absurd system. They return a parcel I don’t know to a company I don’t know and tell me I have to contact whoever it is that I don’t know about a parcel I don’t know.
Oh, and Royal Mail’s email address is “no-reply@…” so I can’t even reply to them to find out more.
Royal Mail is a joke.
Whatever the parcel was, I’ll just have to presume I won’t get it because there’s naff all I can do about it.
No economist has ever explained the trap of being poor better than Terry Pratchett's boots theory.
A wealthy man buys a $200 pair of boots that lasts ten years.
A poor man can only afford $40 boots that leak after six months, so he spends $800 over the same ten years and still has wet feet.
Poverty isn't just a lack of money.
It's a continuous subscription fee for not having capital up front.
This week I presented a petition in Parliament calling on Coventry City Council to do the right thing and terminate its contract with Palantir for children’s services.
Palantir is complicit in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.
Our public services should not be handing public money and sensitive data to a company implicated in these atrocities.
Support the campaign and add your name: https://t.co/p2Ss7q00kE
Palantir out of our public services NOW!
