I think Suella Braverman @SuellaBraverman did a fantastic job reinforcing Reform UK's racist credentials on #bbcqt tonight. She didn't have one single positive thing to say about anything and spent all her time blaming the last Tory government of which she was part!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Matt Frei, "The number of asylum seekers living in hotels has halved in a year" - If Labour could do this, why didn't the Conservatives? - Did the Conservatives create this anti asylum seeker situation to stoke division in the country and to perpetuate a culture war?

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

"Thames Water could be nationalised under Burnham tenure without spending a penny’." Now there's a very good idea and there are plenty of ways to do it all that's needed is vision, determination and ambition. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/t…

According to ridiculous NHS rules Psychiatrists with 13 years of training can’t diagnose ADHD. But anyone who does a 4 week (120 hour) course and reads through a tick sheet can. They charge £500 an hour, instead of the £35 it would cost the NHS. It’s a scam.

I feel like I'm going insane. Do people genuinely not remember how terrifying the beginning of the pandemic was? How many people died and how little we knew about it? I sure remember my husband coming home from the hospital every day worried he'd bring a virus that would kill us.

Number of times Kemi Bay-denoch spoke out when the Tory Party closed 23 prisons, cut 12,500 prison places, brought the criminal justice system to the brink of collapse and released thousands of prisoners? None, zero, never. Pathetic hypocrite @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives

The UK should follow this lead. Not just more trees in urban areas, but whole new forests across the UK. @andyburnham
Colombia reduced temperatures by 5°C by planting 880,000 trees along the streets of its cities.

Grabby headline. Just not true - except for 16/17 year olds working 12 hours a week and compared with the most serious disabilities entitled to PIP getting enhanced rates.
🚨 NEW: Teenagers claiming PIP for anxiety are receiving £100 more a week than those working the maximum hours in a minimum wage part-time job

There's sh*t in the rivers and sh*t in the seas, they sh*t on the public, it's a corporate disease, I'm sick of the sh*t and the waffle they spout, for the good of the country, let's get these sh*ts out. RE-NATIONALISE THE WATER COMPANIES.
Why has nothing changed under Labour? We need renationalisation!

In Thatchers own words “privatisation of the energy industry will make us the envy of Europe” Thanks Margaret, you made a few people very rich and the rest of us much poorer.

The number of Amazon workers relying on food stamps and Medicaid nearly TRIPLED between 2020 and 2025. Jeff Bezos is worth $257 billion and has a $500 million yacht. He can afford to pay his workers a living wage.
