Importing low welfare food products reared with hormones and antibiotics puts our food security at risk, because our land will become unproductive as farmers go out of business. And it puts our health at risk. #BrexitBetrayal
RT @LizWebsterSBF: And this of course was all predicted right at the start of Boris Johnson’s premiership, but many British people continued to believe he would care about Britain 🇬🇧
Now we have the proof thanks to @g_lanktree that he sold …

RT @LizWebsterSBF: Wonder why Australian beef is cheaper than British beef?
The video on the left is 🇦🇺 govt funded feedlot houses 70,000 animals fed only grain to fatten quicker.
Our British cattle on the right graze across acres with plenty of trees for shade. Each has a passport. https://t.co/mk5fqrzmcv https://t.co/U2Ua6MNjhd

RT @BladeoftheS: In Finland a businessman was fined €181,000 for driving 18MPH over the speed limit.
This is because he has €350,000,000 and fines are based on your wealth.
The UK needs this.

@IRealworld @TheGreenParty Maybe because work doesn't pay enough to live on so you can actually end up paying more to travel to work than you earn, so it's unaffordable? A problem solved by paying a real living wage, or by making it so that work brings in extra money on top of what you need, or both.

@IRealworld @TheGreenParty Take a look at the results of the studies. You'll see that it has entirely the opposite effect.

@IRealworld @TheGreenParty The opposite actually.

RT @lunaperla: In case you can't read the small print, designed to make Sunak look taller:
Our [the Tories'] priorities are:
1 Line our pockets
2 Make you poorer
3 #CovidCoverUp
4 Defund public services
5 Ruin the country

@cydney0071 @ReasonAboveAll @TheGreenParty It's quite different from the furlough scheme which forbade people from working. And yes, it saves money in a whole raft of different things that currently cost us too much.

@LeftyBanker @TheGreenParty Yes ridiculously much too small but at least it might get people thinking.

Austerity kills.
Public spending is not optional. It's the only way to have a decent, resilient, prosperous society.
The recession we're facing didn't need to happen, but we've had Tories working to make it happen for more than a decade.

If only this could be more people and for ever! @TheGreenParty would have a basic income for everyone: to provide unconditional support & opportunities for all, to stimulate enterprise, end nasty sanctions, improve mental health, support student welfare.

@wardie2 @PurePoll @Patrici89225734 Well I don't know what it was supposed to mean, so there are several different ways to word it. Depends whether it's trying to ask whether the country is too full of immigrants (not including us), or whether we're all immigrants, which is just fine, and more are always welcome.

@pigreen1 And if they can't bring those dependents they won't come (=won't fund our universities), and the country will miss out on the economic value of those dependents (who are additional productivity in the UK economy). Economic illiteracy meets racism, and draws the vile conclusion.

Wouldn't it be nice if universities were in the education business? Like, if they could be funded to provide education for promising students from across the world? Instead of trying to sell their product to the rich from across the world because they're so starved of funds?

RT @andrewmeyerson: Dear 🇬🇧,
The @Conservatives have starved the NHS of £40 BILLION a year over the last decade and they want you to be impressed with this £1B uplift. It's a joke. With pay/conditions so terrible here, this will simply train more staff to go work in Australia.

Then enter Boris Johnson, who caves into every Australian demand by writing away all British farming protections on a slip of paper, on a whim, over a dinner

@PaulbernalUK Depends what misconceptions they have about what the tax is providing in terms of services. Offer them potholes and tax cuts, or tax and no potholes. Which would they prefer? Do they want a GP they can see on the day they need it? Do they want staff shortages at passport queue?
