@CarolineLucas @MothersUncoverd @mgordonwalker So the increase in child care funding was just a pretence. The whole point was to try to force mothers to work more hours (which they now won't be able to afford again even if it there's a nursery place available).

Hunt's recent budget slipped out a grotesquely unfair requirement for UC recipients to be available to work 30-hour week when their child turns 3, or face sanctions. Many single parents already struggle with current 16-hour requirement - yet Ministers utterly uncaring as usual 👇

RT @premnsikka: UK Govt and bosses are blaming worker pay for high inflation.
Reality check - real wage cuts for workers, corporations profiteering, exec pay & dividends soaring.
Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda doubled profits since 2019.
Have your wages/pensions doubled?

RT @FullFact: Andrea Jenkyns MP claims millions have voted to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights.
This is not correct. Millions voted to leave the EU but the ECHR is an entirely separate entity.

RT @ClimateHuman: Climate activists are on the right side of history, those standing against them are on the wrong side. The increasing criminalization of climate protest reveals how politicians stand with the fossil fuel elites. Together they're accelerating irreversible climate catastrophe

RT @johnmcdonnellMP: @MayorJD @UKLabour This is staggering news. To refuse to allow a serving mayor onto even a selection long list demonstrates that factionalism in the party is completely out of control. Jamie Driscoll @MayorJD is widely credited with doing a great job. There can be no other motive for excluding him.

Do people understand what a good trade deal is?
RT @Omnisis: 11/ Finally, government calculations estimate the recent Australian and NZ trade deal will increase UK GDP by 0.08% (£2.3bn a year) by 2035. Is this a good deal?
🙂 45% good deal
☹️ 20% bad deal
😐 35% don’t know https://t.co/bFRwE8LYIe

@michael_havard I think the right response is that I would advocate for retention of the local traditional staple oil wherever it is local, traditional and staple. But where it was never traditional, we need to return to our own local staple products. The ubiquitous use of palm oil is ruinous.

It was obvious, whenever Boris Johnson got up on the goggle box to tell us that we needed to stay at home, that he was intolerably bored and thought everyone would be unable to resist partying. As indeed, it appears, he couldn't resist partying.
