I’ve never heard a minister sent out to defend the government say ‘I don’t know’ so many times
Hiding behind ignorance is no excuse
Especially when the person pleading ignorance is doing nothing to ensure transparency
RT @GreenPartyMolly: Chris Philip makes it clear that Zahawi did not tell PM the whole truth about his tax affairs at the time of his appointment
So why hasn’t Sunak sacked him?

#RejoinEU
RT @GreenPartyJack: Just discovered my mobile operator is reintroducing EU roaming charges. This little snippet from Guido has aged poorly. (I’m not with Vodafone, but they have already reintroduced the same roaming charges as my carrier.)
More Brexit lies and misinformation. 🤦🏻♂️

Just because you’re not being paid to, doesn’t mean you can’t help to avoid blackouts
If @nationalgriduk want us to minimize electricity use between 4.30 and 6pm tonight, I suggest we all do that
Idea is to switch off heavy energy appliances like heaters and washing machines

Probation service and ministers have ‘blood on hands’, say Zara Aleena’s family
Probation is another service that has faced a decade of austerity cuts under the Tories
The blood is really on their hands - as with failings in the health service

I was asked to comment on the continuing discharge of filth into our waterways
Needless to say, I didn't hold back
We need to take the water companies back into public ownership
And end the rip-off and the pollution

What a relief to hear @UniteSharon put her finger on the button
The Tories don't want to settle the NHS dispute because they are using it as an excuse to privatise
I've heard the same thing from doctor friends
This must never happen

Trolling?
RT @HMRCgovuk: Don’t get caught up in tax avoidance. Everyone can learn to spot the signs.

One rule for them and another rule for us
The epitome of tyranny and corruption

Zahawi fights for his political life after admitting tax ‘error’
Insulting for him to suggest he somehow set up special company in an offshore tax haven by accident
We need to shut down overseas territories and the whole UK tax avoidance industry

Former Chancellor fined for tax avoidance
PM fined twice for law breaking
Former PM accepted financial support from man he appointed to head national broadcaster
Corruption as a way of life for the Tories

Brilliantly forensic thread: how Dan held Zahawi accountable for his tax evasion
It’s worth the investment of your time but this is the crucial one:
Former minister and Conservative Party chair tried to use libel action to shut down scrutiny of his corruption
#AugeanStables
RT @DanNeidle: I'm not an expert in confidentiality law, but I know enough to get by, and their claim feels like nonsense. And it's outrageous that Zahawi thinks he can not only use libel la…

King Charles grants us a windfall from wind: now it is crucial we question ownership of the seabed
@TheGreenParty is clear that the seabed should be commonwealth, its value channelled into a green sovereign wealth fund
I write for @GdnPolitics

The crown owns most of the U.K. seabed. That's slowing conservation work
Greens have always argued that our marine environment should be common wealth
I’m glad that the new king listened to my point of view on this one 😉

Sunak constituency bid raises ‘levelling up’ favouritism fears
EU regional funds had clear criteria directing them towards communities most in need
This Tory replacement is pork-barrel politics to help them wi marginal seats
Sad reality of Brexit

Brexit has left us short of 330,000 workers
Undermining both public and private sectors and increasing inflation
