Poverty is no longer a hated symptom, it is a carefully crafted Tory weapon. #CostOfLivingCrisis #ToryBudgetingTips #ToriesOut #UniversalCredit 1 #SueGray #Newsnight #TorySleaze
I've been listening to a concentration playlist track on Amazon music
By far the weirdest thing is the whale song
It's not helping me concentrate in the slightest but it's strangely compelling
Fuck the economy, I care far more about people.

Doing nothing to prevent infections isn’t very bright. We are causing high levels of long term disability. This is causing labour shortages and also adding to inflation. The policy of pretending covid is over is damaging our economy.

"Ninety years on from the Enablement Act that gave rise to the most monstrous political movement in history, Britain is about to replicate the frightful final flourishes from the Nazi playbook on establishing a fascist authoritarian regime..."

Terrible predatory forces are eating away at the country. The corporatists, militarists and political mandarins that serve them are the enemy. It is not our job to make them more appealing, but to destroy them.
Kier Starmer is always making pledges, have you noticed?
Maybe the word means something different when you're a lawyer, I dunno.

What exactly are we going to replace the ECHR with? Three middle-aged blokes called Barry wearing string vests in a Lancashire Wetherspoons?

Ignore this piece of crap Government’s outrageous lies about ambulance workers & stand shoulder to shoulder with them

@Baddiel The man on the right has spent the last 8 years smearing the man on the left as racist. And people take him seriously.
That's how f*cked up this country is.
RT @simonmaginn
Corbyn has 'unconscious bias' claims Baddiel, neatly encapsulating the sheer absurdity of the hate campaign against Corbyn.
How does Baddiel know what's in Corbyn's head?
It's almost as if Baddiel has 'unconscious bias' against Corbyn...
It all just gets sillier and sillier.

It’s #GreenFootballWeekend - if we’re going to protect the future of the game, we need to protect our planet too. It’s time to stop the sportswashing, & kick fossil fuels out of football ⚽️

Security agents linked to London mayor Sadiq Khan “spied” on a group of environmental activists and blocked them from participating in a public debate over his environment wrecking plans for a hideously polluting new car tunnel under the Thames.
Vote Labour = Get Tory. It really is that simple.
Come May give voting for common sense solutions to the problems we all face a go instead — #VoteGreen💚

'As soon as inflation tumbles the suggestion will be made that there is no need for inflationary pay rises. That, of course, will be nonsense. Falling inflation does not reduce absolute price levels. Only deflation does that.'

The question shouldn't be "Why do Black folk see racism in everything?"
The question should be "Why do white folk not see any of this?"
The answer to the better question is of course, that there is an information delta between "what Black folk know about racism" and "what white folk know about racism."
Racist people don't want you to know any of this stuff. Because some people, on reading this stuff, say, "Sounds bad. We should maybe change things to be less bad?"

Why do Starmer Ultras love living under Tory rule so much? Is it the corruption? The poverty? The deaths? https://twitter.com/Irishdreams32/status/1621069899287363584

Frequent nightmares, witnessing patients die preventable deaths, suffering aches and pains, drained from long hours, regularly skipping meals and barely able to afford rent.
I spoke to junior doctors about why they're voting to strike.

Horrible thought that we're expected to pay more for them to dump sewage, not counting fixing the leaks - as they use the inflation rate to increase payment - doesn't seem to work regarding #nhsstrike - any other contract you have would state what they are obliged to do and in this case of #thatcher privatatison you don't have a choice of shit dumpers
