@LesGillon @petermbenglish The reality is that monetarist economics only recognises demand led inflation. That is the wage increase would fuel demand for products and lead to inflation.
The banker would invest his cash (because he doesn't need it to live on. i. e. spend it.)
BS but the Tories believe it.
English
@Cadoret @angelaeagle @HMRCgovuk The way I heard it Lester Piggot was offered a deal, most are in similar circumstances, on condition that at that point they had made a full disclosure.
If HMRC later find that the person has not disclosed all earnings then, and only then, do courts and jail time come into it.
English
@angelaeagle And @HMRCgovuk needs to explain why they allowed him to pay them off to escape prosecution for hiding assets from them to evade paying tax, when Lester Piggott & Boris Becker were prosecuted/convicted/jailed for doing the same thing.
Why was he given special treatment?
English
He needs to resign & any PM with a shred of integrity would have sacked him by now

Three days after it was first reported, the BBC News website finally covers the Nadhim Zahawi tax avoidance story bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

@Art93319672 @xpatjock @SocialistHB Alas you are presupposing that they care whether people survive or not.
They don't. And that was made clear in their response to a pandemic.
A response that should be regarded as criminal negligence.
Not that any of this corrupt cabal will ever be held to account.
English
@SocialistHB How long can the conservative party afford it's affiliation with greed, deceit and corruption presided over by the current government? They must know that it's not sustainable to exploit people beyond their means to survive.
Help restore ethics to parliament.
English
Looks like a load of Tories in a room speaking to each other, am I missing something?
Where is the Union and worker representation?
Rishi Sunak@RishiSunak
Today I hosted the NHS Recovery Forum in Downing Street with clinical leaders, health experts and ministers. We are determined to ease pressure on the NHS, ensure better care for patients and deliver our promise to cut waiting lists ⤵️
English
@DrRanj What MPs like this will never grasp is the long term damage to the health of many people created by their own policies. Lower living standards leads to stress, poor diet and limited life choices for millions.
A wealthier & healthier population would reduce the stress in the NHS
English
@DanRazaMusic @mikegalsworthy Millionaire's have always had the freedom of movement that money grants you.
Just us poor plebs that aren't allowed to move around.
English
You didn’t end free movement…
…you just ended it for Brits.
The rest of Europe still has it.
CCHQ Press@CCHQPress
.@RishiSunak We gave the British people a referendum on Brexit.. we delivered Brexit.. we ended freedom of movement!
English
@mikegalsworthy @ShippersUnbound @HarryYorke1 @cazjwheeler I'm no fan of Truss, Tories or hedge fund managers but this story feels like a non-story to me.
Nobody will get charged over this, and if they did any decent barrister would plead common sense as a defence.
A PM and a talentless cabinet led to the no confidence vote by the mkts.
English
⚠️ It’s hard to overstate how serious this is.
I could use various terms for this behaviour, but… just have a read:

@Normanjam671 @rolfesm Absobloodylutely!!!
I thought it was raining.
Turned out to be this Tory govt pissing down my back.
Which is the only trickle down effect most of us will ever feel.
English
@iichroma @WasOnceLoved I know what it's for. And so do many others. To put us in our place and keep us there.
Which monarch was "paid" 1 million sterling to accept the very throne so recently vacated and soon to be filled by an out of touch man in, or close to, his dotage?
English
@WasOnceLoved The state-sanctioned encounter between the collective thirst for eternal certainties once quenched by the wellspring of religion and the formal political system of an established order no longer certain what it's for.
English
@Liam_Holman99 They smell blood in the water.
They haven't suddenly found a consience or had a backbone surgically installed.
They know they are toast.
But they are still deluded about Brexit. Because whoever follows has to maintain those particular lies.
So nothing will get any better.

Something has happened to Jonathan Gullis - he'd never talk to woke Channel 4
Channel 4 News@Channel4News
"This is spreading." Our Policy Correspondent @PGMcNamara explains how the previously loyal Boris Johnson supporter, Jonathan Gullis, just walked past him - revealing his own resignation letter.
English
@Paul68958640 @lewis_goodall There may have been some point to the interview if he had replied honestly that the rich are still getting richer as they can move their off shore wealth to the currency of their choice and so hedge their bets if sterling tanks. The little people will have to suck it up.
English
Jacob Rees Mogg asked on #Newsnight about OBR figs which show significant long term economic damage as a result of Brexit
“the OBR has never got a forecast right-taking it as a holy writ is a mistake.”
Would he like to see OBR scrapped?
“That’s a matter for the Chancellor.”
English
In my anger I forgot the word "not"
If génocide is the extermination of an identifiable ethnic group then wtf is this from SCOTUS?
A death sentence for everyone?
Does it matter what the word is for this?
There will be nobody around to write or scream it.
English
Anyone who thinks that the US Supreme Court is a right wing cabal bought and paid for by the fossil fuel lobby is either an idiot or as corrupt as they are.
Perhaps, a cynic may ask, what planet are all these "saved" foetus's supposed to live.
Effing morons.
English
@JenniferB41 @johnrallan The only worry is the damage they are prepared to inflict / tolerate before they accept the inevitable defeat of their twisted outdated ideologies.
English
@ichy_vagenda @tomhunt1988 I just love his bit about welcoming the brightest and the best.
If only this country would elect the brightest and the best we wouldn't be in the effluent right up to our necks.
English
The reason people have to wait for GP appointments or can't get into their desired school is because Tories are underfunding health and education and the reason they can't get a council house is because they were sold off
If I know this, then so does @tomhunt1988
Tom Hunt@tomhunt1988
2/2 When have they ever had to wait at length for a GP appointment? To get a place for their kid at the school of their choice? For a council house? Never. Their hysterical reaction to the Rwanda policy goes to show how out of touch they are.
English
@edwinhayward @guse_guse @Marvo5Marvo If only there was a vaccine that could be rolled out to immunise the electorate from the lies of the right wing media.
Short of that and considering how rare honest objective journalism is at present I expect the Tories are with us for a good while yet.
😭😭😭😭
English
@guse_guse @Marvo5Marvo There is a genuine issue that, if the Tories dump Johnson before a GE, Labour's lead may instantly vanish. Especially if the rightwing press unite to blame all the problems on Johnson's mismanagement rather than on the wider Tory party.
English
"Boris Johnson makes a better prime minister than Keir Starmer would despite Partygate, the cost of living crisis and the confidence vote in Johnson held by his MPs, according to the latest Observer poll."
Labour's ahead of the Tories, and yet... 🙁 theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
English
@FenCoul @NicholasTyrone I hope so.
I would consider myself to be in the best of company.
English
@NicholasTyrone 👆A university mate (computer science PhD) who's now ex-#GCHQ told me:
• Yes, there's a list;
• Looking at your Twitter feed, yes you'll be on the list;
• No, I can't tell you what'll happen as a consequence of you being on the list...
Are you on it, too?
English
We now have members of this cabinet trying to tell us that if too many Google searches pop up bad things about this government, it must be sort of leftist conspiracy. They are even going to “do something about it”, which doesn’t sound in anyway sinister…#FreeSpeech
English
@johnandi @RoryStewartUK @nikkirobson1 Hope springs eternal.
But only just.
I wouldn't trust the rebels to do the right thing.
English
@RoryStewartUK @nikkirobson1 Let us hope that it is voted down with the help of some of the 148 Tory rebels.
English
This - breaking of international law - is the most dangerous and disgraceful of all the shameful things Boris Johnson has tried to do in his many attempts to create distractions and cling to power.
It will be bad for Northern Ireland + worse for the UK’s international reputation

This just out. Confirmation the NI Protocol Bill is coming on Monday. commonsbusiness.parliament.uk/document/57270…

@pedromakee And, of course, they could, in theory, withdraw the whip from them.
But then the govt falls as they would no longer have a majority.
So, in the end, it doesn't matter if the PM stays or goes. We will still have a Tory govt absolutely determined to utterly shaft us.
English
@pedromakee It's the, excuse me, line about Tory rebel MPs have crossed a line and are now in the "firing line"
They were elected by the voters to represent them. They were not hired by Boris or the Tory party to do their bidding.
Which sums up this corrupt cabal of a cabinet.
