Enough money to give the royals a bumper paycheck, but not enough money to invest in our public services. Strange, isn't it? #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy
. @SwindonCouncil didn't pick up the recycling again, now claiming they were never put out. Many houses in my street and other streets still have their recycling out. What is the council tax for???

I'm surprised @realDonaldTrump hasn't purged his top team yet, he must trust them not to stab him in the back. That takes confidence, or something.

Let's talk about duty.
Disabled people do not have a duty to work unsuitable jobs. Let's get that clear.
The government *does* have a duty to not dehumanise the million disabled people who want to work but are denied the chance.
It’s a duty the government is failing on 🧵 1/7
ALT Headline from the Guardian: Disabled people must work from home to do 'their duty', says UK minister. People with mobility and mental health problems should work from home or lose benefits under new policy.

SHOCKING & SHAMEFUL. This morning - unchallenged by UK news shows & backed by right wing media the Government openly declared war on benefit claimants.
We cannot allow this Govt to use the poorest & most vulnerable members of our society as scapegoats for its incompetence
