RT @ToryFibs: Price Rises Under The Tories, 2010-22:

• Childcare costs ↑ 50%
• Bus fares ↑ 40%
• Food costs ↑ 23%
• Gas bills ↑ 99%
• Stamps ↑ 131%
• Rail fares ↑ 49%
• Electricity bills up 99%
• Rents ↑ 24%

If wages are causing this price spiral then why are wages stagnant?

RT @EC_magazine: The government has announced plans for the repressive ‘Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Bill’ aiming to stop local public bodies from being able to spend according to their ethics.

@EssexWomble @AshRouth But 30% of the voters in Wakefield voted for more Tory madness. That's the puzzle. What are they thinking?

Well done @AshRouth for the Greens, beating the old Brexit Reform party in #Wakefield.
But there are still a lot of people who don't seem to get what trouble we're in. Voting for more of the same? You have to be mad!

RT @MatthewStadlen: The only person who’s taking us back to the 1970s is Boris Johnson. Under his Prime Ministership, Britain is a low wage, low growth, high tax, high inflation country, cut off from our neighbours by Brexit bureaucracy.

Six years since the EU referendum. How do you feel about it now?

RT @13sarahmurphy: 6yrs on and Brexit has been a relentless shitshow of political dishonesty and national betrayal. We’re more divided, poorer, less protected, our rights have been taken, our democracy weakened, our reputation is in the bin and we can’t bear to face up to it.
What an epic failure.

@BtMtjohnson It's in the place you looked first, and have looked again in about three times. The thing is, things go out of existence for bits of time and then they come back in again. Also, try asking St Anthony. He hides things till you pray to him.

@GreenJennyJones @MayorofLondon @ZackPolanski Yes but what does his support consist in? Getting rid of the traffic pollution? That would be great.

@MichaelRosenYes Arguably the sum is 11 - 3 = 8% cut, since they think inflation will shortly hit 11% (and it's not certain even that is the end of it). Energy prices rising again this autumn.

RT @MichaelRosenYes: Someone help out here: 9% inflation, offer to RMT 3%. So, 9 minus 3 = 6. Am I right in thinking that the govt is asking the railway workers to take a cut of 6% in their standard of living? (I've found that Maths very hard. Have I got that right?)
