Twitter is such a powerful institution, it’s astonishing that the odious Musk can destroy it so rapidly

Like many others, I’m dipping my toe in the water at Mastodon: why don’t you try it if you haven’t so far?

And please give me a follow: my handle is in my Twitter profile

Yesterday, Chancellor announced £30bn worth of cuts to our services that are already on their knees

@TheGreenParty would introduce a wealth tax to fund public services

Most British people would willingly pay more tax to pay for better public services

European Parliament to summon Elon Musk

I’m looking forward to this

He might not come

But then the EU might ban Twitter from Europe

Uprating benefits in line with inflation is the bare minimum

But it’s not enough for those on Universal Credit

@TheGreenParty would increase the benefit for everybody by an additional £40 a week

#AutumnStatement
RT @faisalislam: Hunt sticks with Sunak promise as Chancellor - benefits and tax credits up by 10.1%, in line with September inflation costing £11bn

Re: innovation and entrepreneurship, Hunt prays in aid the contribution of Newton, Darwin, Turing, Berners-Lee etc

I wonder how many of those would have voted for Brexit

Outside Horizon and with investors looking elsewhere, Brexit ties entrepreneurs hands

@KarlAlexPauls @BoycottPalmOil @vanessa_vash @GretaThunberg @YoungGreenParty @the_ecologist @NHSuk @preventcancer @corbyn_project @CNDuk @CAATuk @andrewfeinstein At vast expense and when it’s already too late

Not to mention the health impacts and lack of plan to deal with the waste

💚It was good to hear Chancellor use the words ‘energy efficiency’—at last!

🤬National ambition to reduce energy demand—but cash only promised from 2025

🙄And mythical technofixes of CCS and nuclear soaking up government investment

Renewables so much cheaper

And here’s what Austerity 2.0 means for public-sector workers

Significant real-terms cuts to pay for those working in services that already have massive rates of vacancies

Piling crisis upon Tory crisis for our public services

Ask any nurse or doctor and they will tell you that most important thing government can do to help with health crisis is tackle crisis in social care

@TheGreenParty would raise taxes enough to allow us to provide social care without charge to those who need it

#AutumnStatement
RT @PJTheEconomist: Yet another delay to social care reform (Dilnot reform). I wonder if it will ever really be implemented?

And here is Austerity 2.0

Once you take out the verbiage and double negatives, this means funding to key spending departments will fall well behind inflation

Which means real cuts when public services are already stripped to the bone

#AutumnStatement
RT @faisalislam: Departmental spending growth slowed to just above (1%) relevant inflation measure in three years after spending review (& election!). It would have grown with s…

🤔 Hunt says ‘being pro-education is being pro-growth’

Chancellor is right to increase #WindfallTax on oil and gas to 35%

But he is silent on Sunak’s absurd loophole for oil and gas investment

We need all investment in new oil and gas to end if we can possibly save our climate

Jeremy Hunt creates myth of ‘fiscal black hole’ of £55bn

Then says he will fill more than half of it by cutting spending

This will worsen crisis in public services and further undermine infrastructure our whole economy depends on

More of the Tory doom spiral

Hunt begins: ‘We are not alone in facing these challenges . . . We are honest about these challenges’

But he isn’t honest because he doesn’t acknowledge the massive damage #Brexit has done to our economy

And that is damage made in Britain and owned by Tories

@frankie_rufolo That makes me a democrat. Changing public opinion is what democratic politics is all about. Speaking on behalf of the tyrant Putin is not

Vitally important thread

Solvency 2 is EU legislation designed to reduce risks to and from insurance industry

It’s our historic responsibility
