UK real wages keep falling
Real pay fell by 2.6% last month
Among the largest falls in wages since comparable records began in 2001
We need inflation-proofed pay rises for all public sector workers

Queen Elizabeth has been a source of stability in troubled times and a dutiful servant for so many years
It's such sad news and my thoughts go out to her family and all those close to her

I’m disgusted to see PM Truss using the energy price crisis to revive the fossil fuel sector
This will ensure we miss our climate targets and are contributing to making life unliveable for our grandchildren

🤦🏽Today we’ll see energy plan sacrifice our climate to benefit energy companies
🔥Fossil fuels do not offer ‘energy security’ - dependence on fossil fuels caused this crisis
🌎 And climate catastrophe
💪🏽We need insulation, retrofit, and urgent managed decline of fossil energy

@CreserDylanPol Thanks, Dylan

.@PJTheEconomist is right: plans to cap energy prices are not targetted
And mask price signal to consume less energy
That’s why @TheGreenParty proposal includes progressive tariff so you pay more as you use more energy
And would be paid for by increasing wealth taxes

Delusional economic policies cooked up by this guy and PM have caused a slump in the pound
Making our borrowing more expensive and increasing cost of all imported goods inc energy
Financial markets will not believe in perpetual motion machines
And we will all pay the price
RT @10DowningStreet: The Rt Hon Kwasi Kwarteng MP @KwasiKwarteng has been appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer @HMTreasury.

Brandon Lewis, the guy who told parliament he had no problem with breaking international law, has just been appointed justice secretary
Democratic standards will sink even further under a #Truss government, it seems

I had remarkably low expectations for Liz #Truss
But incredibly she failed to live up to them
The speech was vacuous, inane even
‘A country of people who get things done’?
Is there anybody who couldn’t say that about their country?

Looks like Truss has abandoned hope of winning the next election and is opting for funnelling as much money as possible to Tory mates for the next two years
RT @Steven_Swinford: Revealed:
Liz Truss's new Number 10 team
There's a big clearout this morning - the delivery unit is gone, there will be a new economic unit

It's clear that the discredited idea of 'trickle down economics' is making a comeback
I think we're all aware of what trickles down
While the wealth we generate will be grasped by the super-rich

Liz Truss will be fourth UK prime minister in six years
We’ve seen instability, shocking growth in inequality, and economic decline during period of Tory psychodrama
Not to mention the disaster of Brexit
We deserve so much better

That sounded like a party conference speech
#Truss is sidelining the needs of the country
(With echoes of pork markets - she still can’t deliver a clap line)
Never have my expectations of a PM been so low

They really are going to choose this moment to come in and tell us we’re lazy slackers and have to work harder for less money
A bonfire of workers’* rights can only add to the heat on the streets this autumn
*aka ‘supply side reforms’

@anandMenon1 You're determined to disprove the truism that Twitter can't cope with irony

Wholesale gas prices soar 30% on opening
Energy is too vital a service to be left to the vagaries of market speculators
And especially in time of war
We need politicians to get a grip on European gas markets and windfall taxes on speculative profits
