@gregjames I’d have been named Jordan Gordon if I were born a boy. I’d like to think I’d have had a similar podcast too…

£1.6 billion for the barge contract.
40 migrants.
4 nights on board.
Works out at a tidy £10 million per person per night.

That's what you call a real Tory bargain.

A photo that should make everyone responsible hang their heads in shame.
A catastrophic failure of government.

This Barbie has a Nobel Prize 💖 He’s just Ken

What damage the Conservatives have done to the UK over 14 years is summarised by this Newsnight panelist

Jacob Rees-Mogg is so patriotic he pays almost no tax, has moved all his businesses to Ireland, has an Irish passport and is registered for tax in the Cayman Islands tax haven.

He truly is the ideal of Brexit, a flag waving, tax dodging, passport changing charlatan.

Rishi Sunak is planning to totally scrap inheritance tax.

People ONLY pay inheritance tax on estates over £325k.

This can rise to £650k for couples.

Inheritance tax currently raises £7bn.

Make no mistake, it’s yet another Tory tax cut for the rich.

And YOU are paying for it.

That horrible guy who has been posting lies in The Sun has been banned from running any companies in New Zealand.

RT if you think we should follow the Kiwi’s and ban Rupert Murdoch.

Ken Murphy is Tesco’s UK CEO and the highest paid supermarket boss.

He gets £4,740,000 a year, but is registered to pay tax in the Republic of Ireland.

Not a penny of his outrageous salary is collected in tax, despite almost all Tesco’s earnings coming from the UK.

It’s theft.

🚨BREAKING: An MP who CRITICISED the idea of a windfall tax on oil companies FAILED to declare his own wife's shares in the oil giant BP.

David Duguid MP voted against a windfall tax on oil giants FOUR TIMES. How is this legal?

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Blood is in the water.

The sharks circling, smell the wounded NHS…

Expect a surge in bots, trolls and hacks pushing the “NHS needs to modernise”, “we need a new model of health system” narrative.

Remember the truth: 13 yrs of underfunding.

[Tom Freeman @SnoozeInBrief]

Oh wow, so there's an email doing the rounds alleging (in quite unnerving detail) that over a period of several years George Osborne starved public services of funding based on a deeply flawed theory of the relationship between government finances and economic growth

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Private schools receive £7,000 per pupil from the Government, and the money parents pay in fees.

State schools receive £5,500 per pupil, that is it.

Private schools should receive NOTHING from the state, RT if you agree.

Not humanly possible for all Noah Kahan tickets to be sold out at bang on 10 am. Getting gig tickets is virtually impossible these days

[beth @thebethgordon]

@BP_Vis Baz has seen him a few times but he’s gone viral now (rightly so, he’s amazing) but I think he’s severely underestimated how many people will want to see him judging by the venues 😔 if we see 4 for sale we’ll be in touch!

[beth @thebethgordon]

So so so gutted we couldn’t get tickets for Noah Kahan 😔 if anyone sees any being sold for any dates closer to the time, please shout! Thats Baron’s person in musical form 💗

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘battology’ (17th century): needless and tiresome repetition in speaking or writing, often used to avoid answering the question.

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

Remember when they fined a 66yr old man £100 for meeting friends in an allotment to get some respite from his loneliness?!

His statement was a heart wrenching read 💔

They really didn’t give a shit about us did they?! Just partied away, mocking us & taking us all for fools!

[beth @thebethgordon]

@Serepheena @GrumpyPants2U @MKJmonty @supertanskiii COPD is a respiratory condition and since covid did in fact kill him eventually and MILLIONS of others, perhaps you could consider speaking to others with more compassion and humanity in future x
