Dear @hmtreasury @darrenpjones
Please can you launch an investigation and possible prosecution of the Conservative Ministers who misappropriated hundreds of millions of our taxes to film videos for their social media channels.
Misappropriation of public funds is a financial crime, under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 which defines financial crime as including any 'offence involving fraud or dishonesty.'

Turns out if you attack disabled and sick people and remove all community support, and cripple the healthcare system that makes them well you end up spending more on benefits. Who knew? Literally anyone who has worked in any community.
"If you want lower welfare and lower taxes, that's what I will do" Sunak said last night.

We've written to @Conservatives to ask them to remove the “Tax Check UK" rebrand of @CCHQPress. This misrepresents posts on the account as an impartial fact checking service. Voters deserve better.

Another development: me and @bbclaurak can now reveal that the Conservative Party’s Director of Campaigning Tony Lee, is also being looked into by the Gambling Commission over an alleged bet relating to the timing of the general election. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd119p9e…

My thoughts on today’s dark anniversary - 1,000 days since teenage girls in Afghanistan have been banned from school by the Taliban.
Women are also forbidden from most public places, barred from universities and restricted in almost all job sectors.

If you’re a criminal, police aren’t resourced to arrest most of you
If you’re unlucky to be charged, courts take several years to deal with you
If you’re convicted, prisons are told to release many of you because they’re full
If you’re a Tory criminal, they give you an honour
IOM Ukraine are raising awareness of the increased risk of #humantrafficking after the full scale Russian invasion. The hotline number is 527. youtu.be/88se6Omr1Hc?si=h8bc…

For several months, Kyiv-Kharkiv intercity train, trams and buses will inform Ukrainians about the risks of getting into situations of exploitation and human trafficking in 10 🇺🇦 cities. Informational campaign “They Used You” is funded by @usaidukraine and @SwedeninUA.
A reminder that the disastrous Liz Truss mini-budget cost the U.K. £30 billion. That’s more than 50% of the defence budget.

A shocking but sadly unsurprising indictment of the government’s devastating mismanagement of the criminal justice system.
Record delays, a record backlog, and absolutely no plan by @RishiSunak to fix it.
No plan at all.
There has never been a better time to be a criminal.
We have published our report on the Crown Court backlog, and what progress the Ministry of Justice has made in reducing the backlog.
This was laid in Parliament before the general election was announced.

Rishi Sunak says on BBC Breakfast that flights to Rwanda will go in July. But then caveats that with "if I'm reelected on the 5th of July, these flights will go."
It's an admission they will not go before the election.
