Nurses are being charged £3 for a tuna sarnie & £1,300 (pa) to park their car at work.

Working conditions are making their cost of living crisis much more difficult.

Meanwhile MPs have subsidised canteens & free car parking. It should be the other way about.

What is so striking is how many conservative mps are still talking about what is “ best for the party”. It’s a real give away - that party still seemingly comes before country and constituents and democracy.

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

There are no words to describe this utter shambles adequately. It’s beyond hyperbole - & parody.
Reality tho is that ordinary people are paying the price.
The interests of the Tory party should concern no-one right now.
A General Election is now a democratic imperative.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

General. Election. Now. Or take to the streets …. Five Prime Ministers in six years. Just fuck off. All of them

They didn’t have £20m to feed starving kids during a pandemic, but they’ve pulled out £1.3b (65x more) for Jubilee celebrations, and there’s not a fucking thing we’re going to do about it

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

The fact that it has had to be said repeatedly over so many incidents over so much time - does not change the fundamental truth:
Boris Johnson is manifestly unsuitable to be Prime- minister. Every day he remains further damages the country.

🔴 Rishi Sunak spends £500,000 of taxpayers’ cash on focus groups ‘to repair his image’ https://t.co/RXHdYTt7KQ

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Rishi Sunak has just been named as one of the richest people in the country, with a £730,000,000 fortune.

This is the man who is refusing to do more to help struggling families, saying this week "the next few months will be tough".

This super-rich Chancellor is taking the piss.

Today, Conservative MPs had the chance to back our plans for a windfall tax on the excess profits of oil and gas producers.

This would support millions of people with their energy bills when they need it most.

They chose to vote against it.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Oil and gas giants are making £900 per SECOND - that is why your bills are so high.

I just voted for a Windfall Tax on their super-profits that could be used to lower your bills by £600.

Not a single Tory MP voted for this.

They're on the side of the energy giants - not yours.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

BP and Shell made £20,000,000,000 in profit last year. That's expected to double this year.

But Tory MPs just voted down plans to use a windfall tax on these companies to slash energy bills.

They're choosing to squeeze your living standards, not the profits of the super-rich.
