There are potentially billions of refugees who might want to make their way to the UK, so I congratulate the Conservative government for making the UK so shit that most of them will decide not to bother coming here. That's why I'll be voting for them.

Copy this and send it to your MP, show your partner, neighbour, re-Tweet it give it to the shops in the high street to put in the window and display it in GP surgeries and A&E… this is why the NHS is choc-a-bloc

I keep returning to these graphs by @jburnmurdoch at the @FT and wondering why more British journalism can't be as straightforwardly lucid and illustrative as this. The catastrophe of Tory rule laid bare.

A quick terminology explanation. Inflation is a measure of how quickly prices rise. If you halve inflation prices will still rise, just less quickly. So halving inflation would still mean things are more expensive than they are now.

I wrote a blog yesterday that was surprisingly popular. Based on observation of behaviour witnessed during a walk on 2 January, I asked a simple question, which is why have baby boomers, most especially, been bought into political compliance by the Tories? A thread…

This is the point that they all refuse to address. Any government serious about reducing the number of dangerous small boat crossings would prioritise the establishment of safe and legal routes for refugees. They won’t. They are here for the culture war. Nothing else.

You Mum waits 40 hours for an ambulance so BP don’t have to pay tax. Your kids can’t afford University so Amazon don’t have to pay tax. Your sister can’t get housing so Google don’t have to pay tax. Your Gran’s on a 5 year hospital waiting list so Vodaphone don’t have to pay tax.

We risk moving from recession to 'full-blown depression'. Professor Mariana Mazzucato breaks down 'dysfunctionalities' in the economic system which should be tackled instead of 'punishing consumers and families' who already face high costs of living. @AndrewMarr9 | @MazzucatoM

So Braverman has to be kept away from immigration. Rees-Mogg has to be kept away from Business. Coffey has to be kept away from Health. Kwarteng has to be kept away from the economy. And Truss has to be kept away from everything. Not a government. A crisis.

It pains me to admit that there is an Anti Growth Coalition in the United Kingdom. They have devastated farming, fishing, automotive, Care sector, NHS, Finance & every sector you can think of! They attack workers rights, human rights. The Anti Growth Coalition are THE TORY PARTY!

I just disrupted the world’s biggest aviation conference in Amsterdam to send a message to airlines: Suella Braverman’s cruel ‘dream’ will never come true if you refuse to send refugees to Rwanda
