💙 Living with Covid doesn't mean ignoring it 🇺🇦

This year the British establishment covered up this new Banksy. Can we get it Retweeted 10,000 times to show that they can never cover up their complicity in war crimes?? Protect the right to protest! RT!

GB News has been found guilty of breaking Ofcom rules for the 6th time. It is only 2 years old, has broken the rules 6 times, doesn't pay tax, is owned by someone living in Dubai. And is currently begging for £30m to pay its bills. RT if it is time to revoke their license.

I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets. I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated. Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off? Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it. Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours. None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer. You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets. Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you. Think. Before they take everything. 💷🇬🇧☕️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🫖

@furious_cs @implausibleblog The tax advantage will be that the bonus was bigger (or didn't cost as much to give) - end result is the recipient of the bonus gains. Swift does not end up financially better off due to the tax write-off.

@implausibleblog Methinks that there is a tax advantage involved here.

Taylor Swift's Eras tour generated $2 billion She gave her staff a total of $197 million in bonuses From dancers with $750,000 cheques That's 5x top dancers annual salary To truck drivers with $100,000 cheques That's equivalent to an annual salary This is leadership, giving back 👏

@Wisdom_HQ 116 - take the horizontal bar from 4 & make 4 into 11 giving 116

This is the power of justice, access and inclusion. We all benefit when we all support each other. op: chronicallyjenni (via IG)

This is Sarah Pochin - Reform UK MP for Runcorn - @SarahForRuncorn Sarah doesn't want to see black or Asian people on her TV. She said: “It drives me mad seeing adverts full of black and Asian people.” This sort of racism is abhorrent, and she must resign. RT if you agree.

The real reasons Farage and Reform want to leave the #ECHR Clue: it's nothing to do with immigration...

@DschlopesIsBack It's just a scratch..... 😂

If you know what this is we can be friends.

@GamewithDave Older... This old...

Are you this old?

@GamewithDave It's a 3d printed disk icon? Actually I'm old enough to have used 8in floppy disks as opposed to those 3inch stiffy ones. Wolf-3d.... Have you got the pack to edit the walls?

But are you are this old?

@isenbek @RonFilipkowski Note that US defence spending also covers US in the Pacific region so the US spending in the NATO geography as a % of GDP is far less than this chart shows.

What a coincidence that: 1. Trump announces the creation of a US Sovereign Wealth Fund. 2. He says he wants 50% of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. 3. He tried to have Zelen transfer it into a ‘Reconstruction Develop Fund’. 4. The head of the Russian Sovereign Wealth Fund is part of the delegation meeting with Rubio in Saudi Arabia.

America is under attack.

@highbrow_nobrow @atrupar Look over there folks while Trump and Musk destroy rule of law in US at behest of oligarchs.

@easyJet I know you have to make fast turnarounds but getting passengers out on the tarmac before the plane has even landed is a bit much (U22280 Paphos-Manchester). Stood out in the freezing cold for 25mins already. #notImpressed

@oldishbird1 @Jim_Cornelius @WestminsterWAG @Tesco @RachelReevesMP Unless you are a disabled person employing a carer paid for by your benefits. (You don't profit from employing a carer so have no tax to deduct) You have to pay the carer's employers NI - so let's hope the direct payments (for employing a carer) go up to cover the extra NI.

@WestminsterWAG @Tesco @RachelReevesMP Employer’s NI is a tax deductible expense so it will cost them more in NI but reduce their tax liability. And they can choose to reduce their much increased profits instead of increasing prices.

According to the Sunday Times, @Tesco is facing a £1billion bill in relation to @RachelReevesMP’s national insurance hike. Who will they pass that on to, I wonder? Surely not ‘working people’… meanwhile, public sector workers get a nice cushty 4-day week. #TwoTierKeir

Increasing employers NI contributions will hit people with disabilities who employ a carer or PA. Somehow don't expect disability benefits to increase to offset this additional cost.

Twitter, I’m losing followers hand over fist. Still just about hanging on in here - please help me find my old followers - if they’re still here - if you can, by RTing.

@mattprescott I was always threatened with the sack/ prosecution under the Official Secrets Act if I'd done this at work.
