@Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP You just lost your shirt to the tune of millions chasing the people who released the Labour Leaks report, rather than the people featured in it accused of bullying and harassment. People you quietly readmitted to the party. We know exactly why you need 'rich investors'.

Apart from this being a bit "wish in one hand and shit in the other, see which fills up first" fantasy.

"We" could try investing ourselves and not selling even more of our country to spivs, price fixers, and tax dodgers.

800 public libraries have closed due to underfunding since 2010.

Lending libraries are essential for those who can't afford to buy books or don’t have room to store them.

We will bring libraries back into council or community not-for-profit ownership and fund them properly.

Rishi Sunak talks of “union paymasters” - I dare him to look an NHS worker in the eye and repeat it. I’m sure he wouldn’t, because deep down he knows that those striking for fair pay are simply people seeking to make ends meet & trying to do the best for their families #PMQs

If EVERYONE had access to the same COVID protections used for billionaires at the Word Economic Forum—state-of-the-art ventilation systems and same day PCR testing prior to entry, we could significantly reduce the risks of COVID and Long COVID.

We are third class passengers on the Titanic. #COVID19

How have we ended up with the most expensive high speed rail line per mile in the world, is it because we're a corrupt country?

If you have a sub for the @FT make sure you keep saying you want to cancel all through each of the 5 screens. The first screen asking you why, which then crashed on my app, does not mean you have cancelled. You need to go through another 3 screens of offers and crap. Very annoyed

@Lavenderchina Not at all. Private medical insurance in UK right now is priced off broad assumption that emergency, chronic and most acute care will be covered by NHS, with PMI covering only lucrative bits. PMI WITHOUT comprehensive NHS, like USA? Multiply current UK quote by 5 or 10🤑😳

Sigh. No-one thinks there’s an epidemic of young single professionals going to food banks. There are these things called children which you probably don’t want to bring up in a single room. And obviously lots of people earning far less than £30k twitter.com/leeandersonmp_/sta

Yes, France spends a lot of money on pensions, but the system delivers a decent standard of living for millions. Macron's proposed reforms will disproportionately hurt low-wage workers. My story @thenation thenation.com/article/world/ma

One answer to reducing abortions, @AUL argues, is to ensure that every woman knows that she can give birth with no money out-of-pocket.

The paper acknowledges that this would not be cheap. | @theWesleyJSmith

@DavidLammy @labourpress @RishiSunak There were heartbreaking stories about how the Tories were affecting people's lives when you worked against your own party to make sure Labour lost 2 GEs while filling your pocket with money from tory donars

James Dyson, who made all his billions in the UK and then took his greed to SE Asia, complaining the the UK is riven with taxes and regulations. So how come he got so rich? And why is he so greedy that he left? By the way we had one of his overpriced Hoovers it was crap!

@mrpieceofwork It definitely is "cheaper" to build a world around people's needs - for a start long term investment in "green" solutions wouldn't be an issue, not having to choose between human suffering or "shareholder value" etc. etc.
