Starmer's Labour Party is close to the point of no return. Blocking Jeremy Corbyn from standing as a Labour candidate is an affront to decency and a declaration of civil war within a Party about to metamorphose from a broad church to a toxic sect.

GREED IS GOOD

TORIES crack down on nuisance begging.

BUT do nothing about BARONESS MICHELLE MONE who ripped the NHS off for £76m.

RETWEET to remind Michelle Mone to repay OUR money.

1 week today, we face the following price rises:

• Stamps ⇧ 15%
• Water Bills ⇧ 7.5%
• Rail Fares ⇧ 5.9%
• Energy Bills⇧ 20%
• Council Tax ⇧ 5%

But, hey, the cap on bankers’ bonuses is getting lifted so at least there is that.

Good heavens, this is beyond awful.

Is this really the state of our nation? Is this the world we're trying to build?

"Anglian Water's £4.6bn dividend is the highest in England."

Think on that the next time you look at a dried up chalk stream in East Anglia or a local river which smells of nothing but sewage.

I’m going on a little tour

My entire fee for this has already been donated to victims of the Turkey-Syria earthquake

Anything extra I get from ticket sales will also be donated - so if you want a night of laughs, demos and #MamaKhan stories please come and help the cause ❤️

SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £40,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you would still not make as much as Shell did in profits last year

Question from the new Rishi Sunak maths syllabus: if 13 years of Tory government knocks 20% off your real income and 40% off your pension, puts £500 a month on your mortgage and lands you with a £2000 gas bill, should you vote Tory at the next general election?

[Shirley Martin-Abel @smartinabel]

@SocialistNHS YES!

[Sue Hampshire @SueHampshire3]

£10,000? Imagine losing 5 x that much, up to £50,000! Not a one year but 6 year hike for #1950swomen with no letter and no notice.

*April 2023: £4,000

UK Energy corp annual profits:

We must renationalise energy now.

A BILLIONAIRE emits a million times MORE greenhouse gases than the average person.

Tax these climate wreckers NOW.

Yesterday, myself, a documentary filmmaker and @tomsdinner, a press photographer, got arrested by @HertsPolice whilst filming the @JustStopOil protest from a public footbridge over the #M25.

I object to my state pension being called a benefit. I have paid into it all of my working life.
