When Rishi Sunak says it's a moral mission to clamp down on benefit fraud, he doesn't mention that it totalled just £65m in 2020, on the government's own figures. That's around 1.5% of the £4.3bn Covid fraud he happily just let go.

I’m proud that I voted to Remain. And now, like 60%+ of the public, I want to #Rejoin. RT so that everyone knows.

This Conservative government has left our NHS to rot, with crumbling buildings, chemical leaks and broken fire alarms. NHS staff and vulnerable patients deserve better than this. libdems.org.uk/news/article/…

When you’ve sucked the value out of everything, destroyed peoples’ future, given the country over to disaster capitalists, driven millions into poverty, taken the country out of the most successful trading bloc in history and everything you have anything to do with turns into a total disaster, you need a massive distraction, so you invent one. You spin that perfectly legal asylum seekers are illegal. You fail to process them in a timely and proper fashion and allow a huge backlog to build up. You deliberately turn a perfectly manageable problem into a disaster. You create misery and horror on an epic scale. Thousands suffer unnecessarily, but you just don’t care as long as it distracts peoples’ attention away from the catastrophe you’ve created. I give you…our Conservative government.

Last time I checked, overly generous disability benefits didn't tank the pound, blow up the pensions system or put mortgage payments up by £500 a month. That was the Tories.

In 2010, when the Tories came to power, our NHS was ranked the fairest, most efficient and cost-effective health system in the world. Our NHS has not failed. It has been FAILED by the Tory government. @mrjamesob

NHS waiting lists are going up because for 13 years the Conservatives have actively undermined, underresourced and underfunded the NHS. They have failed to support staff and failed patients. They can try and point fingers at whoever they want- this is on them. RT if you agree💙

Our electoral system, First Past the Post, robs millions of voters of a voice. It creates 'safe seats' where MPs can safely ignore huge sections of their constituency. And it distorts our democracy. We’re fighting for proportional representation - where every vote counts.
