@rec777777 @Keir_Starmer @GMB @BBCBreakfast @LeeAndersonMP_ @gbne Same here - I have never taken a penny from the state, never, even during Covid lockdowns 😡

So I started with nothing, never claimed a penny, worked hard, employed others for over 40 years, paid all my taxes and was a Net Contributer all that time Apparently according to @Keir_Starmer now, I'm not a 'working person' @GMB @BBCBreakfast @LeeAndersonMP_ @gbne

@59W00dy @GenXgal90 Done

@DonNantwich @daybreak9449 He blocked me for saying something he disagreed with.

For any newcomers to X and/or British Politics. This is Owen Jones, he is a chap who seems trapped in a time when he was a student activist as he repeats his T-Shirt slogans and, in long form, intimates that Israel deserves it. He is the most vile of creatures, no minority cause is too small or obscure to not receive his support, no civil or moral idea is immune from his venom. Most are blocked by him on X so he can preach to his disciples who are largely mentally feeble, socially unskilled and value human life only on the basis of slogans and extreme, leftist ideologies. No gutter too deep, no opinion too vile and no position too radical for him as long as it gets him on telly. Avoid.

@gavinesler Meanwhile in Labour run Birmingham

This is what I’m talking about. What a team 💪🏼

@KarlTurnerMP Let’s have a local election in Birmingham first 😊

Rishi Sunak: not on your side

@gavinesler The highly paid managers of the hospital should have been dealing with this, if it was a known problem.

@NicholasTyrone Perhaps COVID has something to do with this ?

Things get worse for the government: the news that only four new schools have been built since the 2021 launch of the new schools building programme is brutal. 50 sounded terrible enough, but two a year? We really need a new government - general election now, please.

Labour is ready for government and ready to deliver for working people.

@KateEMcCann Covid?

This is important. Nick Gibb says Gov has been “building and refurbishing 50 schools a year throughout the previous decade”. BUT the dept’s own figures show just FOUR schools have been rebuilt since 2020. Target is 500 by 2030.

@bphillipsonMP Rishi doesn’t drink btw!

Politics is about priorities.

@NicholasTyrone Desperate comment from you

“If Labour can’t run a council, they can’t be trusted with our country,” Tory MPs say, desperate to remove some heat coming from the Raac scandal. Well, the Tories can’t run a country at the moment, so they can’t be trusted with our country any longer.

@CarolineLucas Popular with who?

Onshore wind is popular, quick, cheap & essential to deliver our climate targets. So why has the Govt had to be dragged kicking and screaming to a compromise that *still* doesn’t create a level playing field - it will still be easier to build an incinerator than onshore wind

@drphilhammond Didn’t leave the EU in 2016 btw🙄

Why is the GDP per capita so much greater in Ireland than the UK? What happened in 2016 to decimate wealth per person in the UK compared to Ireland? We share an island so it must be something we did differently despite our geographical proximity. Could it be something we ate?

The Conservatives have bottled it AGAIN on onshore wind. It still remains easier to build an incinerator or a landfill site than onshore wind. The planning system remains stacked against onshore wind. This will mean higher bills and energy insecurity for Britain.

Labour will deliver the change Britain desperately needs.

Inequality is out of control. 💰 Global billionaire wealth has more than doubled in a decade. 💰 It’s growing by $2,700,000,000 a day - and not trickling down. 💰 Almost 2/3 of all new wealth since 2020 has gone to the top 1%. We need wealth taxes. theguardian.com/world/2023/sep…
