RT @chrisgreybrexit: This is a disgrace, and a fresh illustration that, in addition to its own flaws, the Truss government will continue with the cronyism of Johnson's.

RT @RichardFoordLD: This is such a cold and callous decision. Millions of people, many of whom are in work, are now left uncertain about whether they’ll be able to keep paying their bills - all while millionaires and billionaires get a tax cut. Totally wrong priorities!

RT @LibDemLaura: I know I sound like a stuck record, but what gets me most about cutting the 45% rate is that it isn't even that high, when you consider that a graduate on 30k is taxed at 41% including tax, NI and student loan. Why is that fine, but rich people paying just 4% more is a problem?

We need to shout this loud, not whisper it. The hedge fund managers shorting the £ were always the ones funding Brexit. It has been a disaster, and a huge betrayal for those who believed the lies.

This Government is risking people’s homes for to benefit a select group of billionaires.
We need an official inquiry immediately.

Conservative MPs must do their patriotic duty and vote down these unfunded tax cuts for big banks and billionaires
