Scrapping the 2-child benefit cap: £1.3bn
A 1% wealth tax on assets over £10m: £10bn
And we’re supposed to believe that ending child poverty is unaffordable?

Protest is a human right.
Our right to protest is protected by the Human Rights Act.

Hi @RishiSunak - any chance London could get that special access to the EU single market?

#4 is Citizen Kane (1941)
Money can buy you influence, power and an ugly palace full of statues in Florida, but you'll still be miserable and hubris will get you.
Surprised at how funny, fresh and relevant this felt. What a script, what a film maker! #GapSpotting

#1 was Last Year at Marienbad (1961)
A story of a man in a fancy hotel relentlessly harassing a chic woman into believing they agreed, a year ago, to run away together.
Lots of unreliable memory, lies, do-overs, daydreams and effective, strange tableaux shots. #GapSpotting

For 2023, me and @Sam_Whyley, being list loving nerds, have devised a plan to fill some of our Cinematic Gaps this year. We've both picked 5 films from each decade (1920s-2020s) that we've not seen. 100 films. We get one swap and that is a chance to swap for 2001 a Space Odyssey.

I just feel like there is a real grossness to the state driven Jubilee celebration fanfare. People are skint, getting so much more skint & full of worry & we are supposed to go out & celebrate 70 years of unadulterated, unaccountable wealth, privilege, power & exploitation? Nah.

The Tories' plan to privatise Channel 4 has nothing to do with it competing with Netflix.
It has everything to do with neutering critical reporting and trashing public service broadcasting.
It's cultural vandalism and must be opposed.

The fact that in the last decade Martin Lewis has had to go from 'The guy who tells you who's doing two-for-one deals or how to get a good mortgage rate' to 'Here's what you can do to get emergency help to stop starving/freezing to death' speaks for itself.

A question for Michael Gove:
How can Labour be simultaneously responsible for ‘unlimited immigration’ AND ´the hostile environment’?

Boris Johnson just said workers should learn from Germany, where they "don't go to work when they're sick".
The proportion of workers' salary covered by sick pay is 100% in Germany. It's just 19% here.

.@BorisJohnson just said UK workers should be more like German workers, who don't have a "habit of going into work when not well".
Proportion of salaries covered by sick pay:
🇩🇪 100%
🇬🇧 19%
