We apologise for Royal Mail Groups greed and the impact it is having on postal workers and customers across the UK. If they could find a way of giving workers a share of the £758m profit, £600 shareholder payments, £2m exec bonuses and £2m exec share awards then we can sort this. twitter.com/royalmailnews/stat

In 2019, emaciated Stephen Smith, who in 2017 was deemed "fit to find work" by the DWP, died.

He won his appeal in 2019 after a tribunal judge saw he could barely walk down the street let alone hold down a job, but his health deteriorated.

Liz Truss today said tax cuts were amongst her "first priority": cuts that she knows will massively benefit the rich and do almost nothing for the poor.

That’s her priority even in this cost-of-living crisis.

Truss is a Prime Minister for the wealthy few, not the vast majority.

When Liz Truss rejects a windfall tax on the £170,000,000,000 profits oil and gas giants are expected to make, it's worth remembering:

She's a former Shell employee whose party has taken more than £1,500,000 in donations from the oil and gas industry since the last election.

Still listening to our Gov't who made up WMD's, Iraqi soldiers throwing babies out of incubators, Libyan soldiers given viagra to commit mass rapes, Syria using chemical weapons on their people and 20 years of lying about Afghanistan under 4 Administrations without a 2nd thought?

It’s striking that the Tories justified austerity on the grounds it was about not lumbering future generations with debt - and that’s now exactly what they plan to do with their energy bill package, purely so they don’t have to tax the £170bn energy company excess profits

Did Truss really say "why should we give you money when you won't vote for us"?

The portent of things to come came when Truss’s senior adviser team was announced. Her economics advisers come from the Taxpayer’s Alliance and the Institute of Economic Affairs. Both are secretive far-right think tanks.

Very revealing Tory comment on Channel 4 news: 'Why should WE give HAND-OUTS to people who are never going to vote Tory?"

1) YOU are NOT giving money - it's OUR money. You are administrators

2) Preventing people from dying through cold or hunger

3) Goodbye blue wall!

Filipino language/Tagalog as a whole is alr neutral. There's no need to address us like this - hell, it even sounds like a slur to us bc how dare yall try to butcher our own words that work perfectly fine as they were.

X doesn't even exist in our local alphabet! twitter.com/SirPards/status/15

The politics of language: notice how prices 'rise' or 'surge' or 'increase' as if they have a will of their own. Seemingly, no one 'puts up' prices. There are no 'decisions' which 'raise' prices. Prices just rise all by themselves. Amazing.
