This is what this so called #FiscalEvent or #minibudget2022 means to families up and down the country. This is the biggest SMASH and GRAB raid by a government for their donors in living history.

Having been promised an energy price freeze, millions will be shocked when hit with a 25% rise in fuel bills in October.
5 million kids risk being pushed into poverty, with charities having to stop feeding the hungry so they can help the starving.
We have to act.

RT @The_TUC: - Unlimited bonuses for bankers.
- Tax cuts for the ultra wealthy.
- Tax cuts for big business.

They are holding down your income while lining bankers’ pockets.
@Debbie_abrahams Good luck Debbie. Hope all goes well!
@KevinBrennanMP Keep on truckin Kev! Hope to see you fit and well soon.
Just signed the book of condolences to HRH #QueenElizabeth having payed my respects to her earlier. Tomorrow will be a deeply sad day for the country.
It is with great sadness that I paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and sent my condolences to the royal family on behalf of the people of #Preston. (1/2)
RIP HRH Queen Elizabeth II, thankyou for everything you have done for this country for more than seven decades. You will be sorely missed.
RT @coopnews: Urgent call to support new #coops law with easier share capital and disincentives for demutualisation. The private members bill from @MpHendrick offers a level playing field for #coops, #mutuals and #friendlysocieties

@Brannigand @GMBNWAS Good idea. But the NW Ambulance Trust bought the site in Lostock Hall, without consulting any of the stakeholders, including the local MPs, Council's, NHS Staff, relevant Trades Unions or even the Chief Exec of the Lancashire Trust overseeing Royal Preston Hospital! #scandalous
Great to meet goalscoring legend @alanshearer and former @ManCity goalkeeper Alex Williams at tonight's @premierleague reception with @CommonsSpeaker. Nice to see the usual coloured ribbons of the trophy on display.
Deeply worrying that #Preston Ambulance Station on Blackpool Rd will soon shift to Lostock Hall. Ambulances will be non-operational for longer, which will affect response times and potentially put patients’ lives at risk. https://bit.ly/PrestonAmbulanceStation @GMBNWAS
RT @UNReliefChief: Famine is at the door in #Somalia. My @iascch colleagues & I are extremely worried about what lies ahead for the millions of people without aid.
After the 2011 famine, the world said "never again." If we want to honour that promise, there is no time to lose. Our Joint Statement:
RT @JonAshworth: Something for @trussliz to sort:
Our analysis - after 12 years of Tories, the average British worker is now earning less per week in real terms than when Conservative governments took power.
A devastating verdict on 12 years of Tory economic failure.

RT @shaistaAziz: I spoke to @guardian about #LizTruss and race and representation in government and politics. “It’s not enough to be a Black or ethnic minority politician in this country or a cabinet member. That’s not what representation is about. That’s actually tokenism”https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/sep/05/uks-four-great-offices-of-state-may-soon-not-feature-a-white-man-for-first-time
