@ToryFibs Remember when @jeremycorbyn won the 'MP of the Year' award & they decided to drop it that year?! 😄
And yesterday, @loosewomen got 96% on a poll about protesting & deleted it 😉
Their getting more & more desperate as they know they've lost all the arguments🤷♀️

@CatHobbs @LabourList Why would anyone support the nation's food supply being in the hands of the likes of the
greedy and unscrupulous heirs of Shirley 'Tesco ' Porter?
Nationalisation of supermarkets seems pretty sensible whilst supporting a thriving and diverse farming industry.

A note on a key chapter of neoliberal theology:
'The Tragedy of the Commons thesis has been thoroughly debunked by Nobel prize winning development economist Elinor Ostrom and countless other researchers and practitioners; they have shown that, in fact, most commons like grazing lands and water supply are not open access regimes but managed very successfully through community institutions and local access rules.'

You no longer have to imagine what a 'free economy' looks like, general strikes, CoL, corruption, hatred of immigrants, denial of citizens FOM, unelected PM's, shows the UK that it's anti-governance tactics have eviscerated democracy and equality, the social contract in tatters.

It’s very, very strange to be surrounded by people everywhere slowly signing up for fascism. Especially when they think of themselves as “normal”, liberal / progressive… the good people. And yet, they’ve fallen for propaganda. Slowly agreed to value tiny personal convenience over everyone else’s basic human rights. They’ve jettisoned reality. Rejected science and facts. Bought into extreme selfishness. They proudly post photos of themselves causing harm. And push others to do the same. W.T.F.

@Conservatives What do Conservatives stand for?
Corporate and Hedge Fund profits.
Greed.
Elitism.
The privileged 1%.
Unregulated markets.
Fewer protections for children, workers or the environment.
Corruption and cronyism.
Racism and sleaze.
That’s what.
A Conservative?
You should be ashamed.

Does it get more incriminating than this?

…and remember that Sunak’s wife is a shareholder in one of those private childcare agencies.

That's funny, because I'm a hardworking British taxpayer and I'm sick to the back teeth of funding infantile pig-ignorant bootlicking cowardly anonymous far-right racist dickheads. 👍

I mean, who *wouldn't* want an autonomous personal assistant who understands nothing, routinely makes basic factual errors, hallucinates, can't count and has to be retrained to learn anything new?

On the one hand we have douchebag billionaires…
On the other, teachers who cannot afford to house themselves and are forced to leave teaching.
This is capitalism functioning exactly as designed.

Funny how free market capitalism seems suddenly not relevant to the Tories when it’s the public sector https://twitter.com/doctor_oxford/status/1646514864955994112

The crisis in the UK's #healthcare system is not just about immediate care, but also the lack of really good prevention strategies; a case in point being the ballooning incidence of #diabetes - #Tory defunding of the NHS is having real #health costs to millions.
This callous & damaging attempt to promote private health care (thought engineering a crisis in public provision) is killing us!
RT @RedJohnBounds
@johnmcternan I can't wait to have a pro-Brexit, pro-austerity, anti-immigrant, anti-worker, anti-trans neoliberal right wing party in government. It will be revolutionary.
