Rishi Sunak fuming about the fact that his tax avoiding wife can't now go back to her non-dom tax status (Mrs Sunak saved £20 million in taxes by claiming non-dom tax status) thanks to Rachel Reeves cancelling that tax loophole
What a joy 👍🏼

Next time Nigel Farage tells reporters “Britain is broken” can someone please remind him that by almost every economic & financial measure the Brexit he championed has been disastrous for the UK

Tony Benn’s five key questions:
“What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
How do we get rid of you?
And if you can’t get rid of the people who govern you, you don’t live in a democratic system.”
Wes Streeting thinks privatisation is the solution to the NHS.
Like if you know it isn't.
RT if we need a fully nationalised, fully funded, staff properly paid NHS
This is the moment Israel reduced the girls school Deir al-Balah to rubble. The school was offering shelter to over 1000 innocent displaced Palestinians, mostly women and children.
53 people have died so far.
Arms embargo now

Donald Trump is 78 years old and in a state of profound cognitive decline.
He should end his campaign immediately.
Retweet if you think that Trump is unfit to serve!
Judge Christopher Hehir sentenced non-violent protestors to 4-5 years in jail today.
In 2014 he let George and Costas Panayiotou go free after an unprovoked assault on two police officers that left one needing a titanium plate in their skull.
Their father had £400m, disgraceful
My followers have dropped off again. Usually I find that this is Twitter glitch (automatic, deliberate?) and people have been kicked off from following me without their knowledge. No idea why. If you can help me reach them by RTing that would be amazing!
For decades, Big Oil have DESTROYED our planet & ecosystem, POISONED vulnerable communities, and COVERED UP evidence of their environmental damage.
Yet peaceful activists who protest this get lengthy prison sentences.
Maybe we should start locking up the REAL climate criminals?
Alan Bates is considering Privately Prosecuting the Bosses of the Post Office for Corporate Manslaughter.
RT If you support him, it is the only way there will be justice.
The prison sentences handed down to @JustStop_Oil protesters are an excessive and authoritarian attack on those standing up against government inaction on the climate crisis.
The real criminals are the fossil fuel giants destroying our planet for profit.

These sentences are shocking. We should all be worried people are being jailed for 5 & 4 years because of non-violent protest. It’s a legacy of last Government we urgently need to correct. Locking up 5 peaceful climate protesters for 21 years in a prisons crisis is just insane
Locking away people for five and four years because of protest that is entirely non-violent?
This is not how a healthy democracy behaves.
As it happens, those protesting to fight the climate emergency will be tragically vindicated by history.
theguardian.com/environment/ar…
Four and five year prison sentences for non-violent Just Stop Oil protestors. No punishment whatsoever for dodging a £3.7m tax bill, selling useless PPE to the NHS, repeatedly dumping sewage in rivers or knowingly fitting flammable cladding to Grenfell Tower.
🚨 BREAKING: Russia has just sentenced five climate activists to a whopping 21 years in prison for a PEACEFUL protest.
Oh, wait, did we say Russia? We meant the UK.
I’m sorry, WHAAATT?!
How dare this man tell us what subjects he thinks are valuable. Thing One: the creative industries are HUGE in the UK. Thing Two: we are HUMANS; not drones; not cogs in your machine.
