.@unitetheunion is well prepared for all eventualities and I will not apologise for making sure that my members don’t pay for a crisis not of their making. This collective decision by this failed government, in reality, will change nothing. 3/3

The minister for disabled people has told MPs it is too expensive and too much effort to produce statistics about key parts of an assessment system linked to hundreds, and probably thousands, of deaths over the last decade.

Did anyone really believe this shameless bunch of charlatans when they said they would enhance workers rights?

It’s time for workers across the country to unite. Let’s stand together, fight together & win TOGETHER! And if you’re not in a union join one NOW! twitter.com/KwasiKwarteng/stat

Dear parents, you will have seen that the government has awarded teachers a pay rise. Unfortunately, what they haven't told you is this.
The government aren't paying for it, your children are.

I can't watch videos where Johnson speaks. I'm at the same stage with Truss.

If Corbyn was so unelectable, why did the Labour Right work so hard to stop him being elected?

Dear MP,

If you are going to pocket a £2,200 pay rise & collect 4 times the living wage salary, please don’t tell me your policy is for a £10 an hour minimum wage.

You get £40+ an hour, don’t ask ordinary people to work for £10.

Hard not to get depressed when you consider we are facing such a mammoth set of environmental and economic challenges but we have a political system and media landscape designed to produce nothing but cowardly politicians and policy mediocrity.

• Wholesale natural gas is 50% cheaper today than March 2022.

• Retail natural gas, the price you pay, is 54% more expensive today than March 2022.

Energy companies charge you when wholesale rises. And pocket the profits when wholesale falls.

Prime Minister: *lies his fucking arse off*

MP: “The Prime Minister lied.”

Speaker: “Right, I’m not having that. Get the fuck out.”

[later]

PM: “Captain Hindsight is a pointless human bollard.”

Speaker: “This is fine.”

Fucking joke country.

@jesagain @ShabanaMir1 We need to STOP placing the burden of fixing the problem on EACH of us as INDIVIDUALS. We need to put the burden on ALL of us, COLLECTIVELY. It's not about if I decide to drive or ride a bike, it's if WE decide to force our govts to give us walkable cities and public transport.
