Odd way new Tory govn has of showing its appreciation as teachers & nurses will see their taxes rise next year & rich bankers gain!
Another tragic case of the Bahrain government gagging free speech!
RT @EU_chronicles: Danish-Bahraini citizen & human rights defender Abdulhadi AlKhawaja has been imprisoned in #Bahrain since 2011 for his involvement in peaceful protests. He should never have been sent to jail.

RT @AnnClwyd: Devolution of the Social Security system to Wales would enormously help the poorest in Wales said First Minister Mark Drakeford in a debate in the Senedd on the Cost of Living.Bring it on!
RT @AnnClwyd: Horrific stories already of people living in fear of not being able to pay their bills.

RT @PaulBrandITV: NEW: The @resfoundation says households in London and the South East of England will gain £1,600 from the Chancellor’s budget next year, compared to just £500 for those living in Wales, the North East and Yorkshire.
Govt may well be asked what happened to levelling up.
RT @johnmcdonnellMP: A budget truly for the 1%. Abolishing the 45p rate of tax benefits the richest 1% in our society. Combined with lifting the cap on bankers’ bonuses and threatening to cut the benefits of the unemployed this forms the most socially divisive budget in a generation.
RT @PrifWeinidog: This #MiniBudget embeds unfairness across the UK.
The UK Government should be offering meaningful support to those who need it the most. Instead, they’re giving tax cuts to the rich, bonuses to bankers and protecting the eye-watering profits of energy companies.
RT @PippaCrerar: 🚨Kwasi Kwarteng announces govt is scrapping 45p additional rate of income tax - paid by richest 629,000 who earn more than £150,000. An unashamed budget for the rich.
RT @MartinSLewis: From next April the 45% top rate of tax (applies to those earning £150,000) will be scrapped. So the top rate will be the 40% higher rate threshold.
This means mega earners, pay the same rate as those on £50,000. #MiniBudget
RT @AndrewMorganRCT: Earn £1m a year and you will be over £50k better off from this Tory budget, it seems the top 1% in the country will do very well from this.
What a budget for levelling down 🤦🏻♂️
RT @paulmasonnews: Labour's @RachelReevesMP - the Tories have not solved the cost of living crisis, they *are* the cost of living crisis... she's wiped the floor with Kwarteng.
@PrifWeinidog @AnnAngell9 NO fracking in Wales!
RT @PrifWeinidog: For those who need to hear this again: Fracking will not take place in Wales.
We are in the middle of an energy crisis, and facing a climate emergency. We must continue to concentrate all efforts towards renewable solutions - and fast.

RT @AnnClwyd: Welcome to cloud cuckoo land with #ThereseCoffey !
Why are so many dentists offering BOTOX in their surgeries??Surely its an unecessary add on!
Welcome to cloud cuckoo land with #ThereseCoffey !
RT @WelshGasDoc: Absolutely fantastic to see the different legal nooses, slowly - but surely - tightening around Donald Trump. Fraud, removal of classified documents, leading the insurrection of the Capitol - it’s all coming back to bite him hard.
RT @WelshLabour: During the Senedd elections, Welsh Labour made a manifesto commitment to abolish the most littered single-use plastics in Wales.
This week, we’ve published the Bill to make it happen.
Delivering a stronger, fairer, greener future for Wales - that’s our priority.
