Does anyone honestly think any other party would be able to be this chaotic yet still be in power? Tories get to play ruling the UK on Easiest setting. Whatever happens that inequity remains unchallenged.

Or y'know, just pay carers enough.

The Carer’s Leave Bill by @wendychambLD passed its second reading in the House of Commons today. The Bill will put it into law the provision to allow employees to take time off to care for someone with a long-term need. We welcome this move and look forward to seeing progress. twitter.com/wendychambld/s…

kinell, just indefensible cowardice.

Keir Starmer refuses to oppose nurses pay being cut in real terms, and refuses to support nurses taking strike action to fight against their pay being cut in real terms. Pathetic. #GMB

Truss will be, by some distance, the United Kingdom's shortest-ever serving prime minister trib.al/yLvUBik
No, we’re paying the price of 43 years of anti-democratic, authoritarian and dehumanising politics. And sure as shit you won’t shift the dial on that.

Britain deserves better than this revolving door of Tory chaos. The British people are paying the price for 12 years of failure. It's time for a general election and a Labour government.

Genuinely horrific Halloween special
Quote Tweet
Graham Brady confirms the fiscal event will go ahead on Hallowe'en. That makes Jeremy Hunt the most powerful man in Britain now. The new PM will have TWO DAYS to consider Hunt's decisions before the 31st.

It undermines Shelter's messages on the steps needed to prevent and address homelessness when they won't pay their own staff even enough to keep up with inflation. They have plenty of money.

I have a prediction that I guarantee is 100% accurate- The next PM of the UK will be a terrible human being. I know, such auspicious clairvoyance is spooky.

What we all have to remember about Jeremy Hunt is... 'The Culture Secretary is out there hiding behind a tree, I said. We know, came the response, but he doesn’t want to come in because all the media correspondents are here.'

There’s no stealth about it. The government are brazen. They will do anything they can to avoid criticism and clamp down on protests.
Quote Tweet
Britain is becoming a police state by stealth. The draconian & deeply undemocratic #PublicOrderBill just cleared the Commons - 283 in favour, 234 against. Ironically, can only hope the unelected Lords will stand up against this dangerous & populist Govt and vote it down.

It was a conceptually failed act, find an artist that represents capitalism and throw oil at a work. Jeff Koons maybe. Or Rembrandt. If you need to explain it so much it’s a clue it was poorly conceived.

Were you outraged by the @JustStop_Oil protesters throwing soup at a painting? I interviewed them about their side of the story. What they said will challenge everything you thought about the protest 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=sr_KyG
