Teachers need to be paid. It's quite simple really. They are among the most important people in our society.
Who should earn more, teachers or government ministers? 🤔 https://n.respublicae.eu/NEUnion/status/1676477483430952961

1. Teachers shouldn't be asked to pay for the government's incompetent policies that led to unmanaged inflation.
2. Raising their salaries in line with inflation would not add to inflation.
3. Recession &amp; declining spending-power lead to falling revenues.
It's stupid economics.

Neither their own family, nor the family of other MPs, should be employed in an MP's office. Let their staff be recruited centrally by an HR team unconnected with the MP, or with just one member of the recruitment panel representing the member for whom the staff will work. https://n.respublicae.eu/MarinaPurkiss/status/1676480742962888704

Marina Purkiss: Here’s an idea…
Can we maybe not let MPs employ their family members? https://t.co/gt665S6nGZ

I'm tired of how everything in the Conservative party stinks as soon as anyone takes the lid off.
If you can bear the stench, take a look in here.

Emily Thornberry: What on earth is going on here? Let me try and explain the story as I understand it. This starts with Rishi Sunak travelling on a private jet to the Tory conferences in Scotland and Wales on April 28th, which – as we know – is fairly standard for him. 1/5.

Remember when everyone was angry at Sunak for not attending COP27 - so he changed his mind?
This is an important time to get angry, write to your MP, sign petitions &amp; join any demonstrations that happen
Our future depends on this decision being reversed

That's funny. I don't see where they show the dividends for share holders on this chart. Nor the interest on debt. https://t.co/3JqByIWSLS

Re @SimonPartridge @williamnhutton @Peston @robertverkaik1 Possibly the 24p for financing investment... might be the interest on debt. But the dividends I don't see.

Just look at this appalling plan. Build more houses (with no schools or other facilities), borrow a crippling load of debt, but don't actually deal with the nutrient problem. Just "offset it".

Sorry, but surpassing pre-pandemic levels of climate destructive flying isn't something to be pleased about. It's a disaster. It's just as bad as spewing sewage into our rivers, except we don't even need to make those flights with their filthy excretions. https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/business/23630483.stansted-airport-submits-plans-extend-terminal-building/

I’ve just voted against a government Bill, which seeks to ban public bodies and local councils from using Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions #BDS to challenge apartheid, climate injustice and human rights abuses.
The #AntiBoycottBill is toxic and must be opposed at every stage.
