Congrats @Naomi4LabNEC on getting elected! I know her as a TU activist, committed anti-racist and left wing Jew who, unlike her detractors, refuses to close her eyes when she sees Israeli racism and oppression v Palestinians!

"In normal times – with a 'normal' government – the approach outlined by David Dimbleby and John Simpson would have been appropriate... the trouble with this is that the Government has been lying to the public – and the BBC has helped it do so" @Baghdaddi

This was a huge problem with the rise of Corbynism too, random violence-thirsty oddbods attaching themselves to your campaign in attempt to bring it into disrepute.

I hope Enough is Enough learn from our mistakes and keep pushing hope, because we need it.

@EthicalRenewal @guardianeco @guardian The same game they played with
So in this case

Talk "green" until the system/status-quo is threatened - then help spread dis-information - leveraging those fake green credentials.

Shamima Begum was under-age, groomed, trafficked and (in law) raped.
The fact that she was brown and a Muslim enabled our racist tabloids to fan the flames of a lynch-mob mentality, enabling unscrupulous politicians like @sajidjavid to blame the victim.

Shameful and disgusting🤬 twitter.com/zelo_street/status

My MP, Tory, Sarah Atherton, rammed Brexit down the throats of the people of Wrexham - will she now apologise for the lies and broken promises and explain her plans to make up for the EU money that Wales lost?

The £120m “Festival of Brexit” is a flop, attracted only 238,000 visitors instead of the anticipated 66m.

I wonder how many were stuck in queues at Dover, in the 6.7m NHS England waiting list and sewage-packed rivers

Still, Tory cronies got the contract.

The Labour Party are against Nationalising our essential utilities and are for more private capital in the NHS, they don't want a change of governance, just a change of management.

Elizabeth Truss is an anagram of Haziest Bluster.

I didn't sleep very much last night.

By the same token

Once a business has generated enough revenue to match what was invested in it, plus a reasonable profit (say) - why do the share holders still matter? Why shouldn't they relinquish their shares to the people who do the actual work?

Well, we know why.

And the bosses are proxies for owners so get similar rewards.

Maybe I just don't understand

What do the execs in the big corporations actually do to justify their salaries in the millions?

Business is about knowing how to serve customers repeatably and reliably. The CEO (or whatever) isn't doing the serving, or designing the processes.

So what are they for, in fact?

Having highlighted the scandalous level of Tory induced poverty in UK society, Tory troglodyte’s attacking me and accusing me of being ‘jealous of the wealthy’. No, I’m just incensed that in 2021, two thirds (65%) of children in poverty lived in a working household. Levelling Up?
