I'm a big critic of #rachelreeves and @Labour's economics but.. it's a bit cockadoodledo to blame them for a flatlining economy before their first budget. Logic would suggest that this was a legacy of the previous government. You're welcome.

Dave Sumner Smith@davesumnersmith

The UK economy did not grow at all in the most recent quarter (July - September), but inflation is rising at its fastest rate since March. Meanwhile, the CBI says businesses expect to reduce both output & hiring. Is @RachelReevesMP's Budget to blame for this sorry scenario?

First Zuckerberg, now Bezos: Amazon to donate $1m to Trump’s inaugural fund. Musk supports far right in Germany, plans to fund Reform in the UK. We are all pawns in billionaires' game of thrones in a corrupt political system. Backlash is long overdue. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

#farage and #Reform have become lightning rods for frustration and grievance. But they are the wrong response and #waspiwomen should think twice before aligning with a far right organisation who will only exploit them.

I’m a WASPI woman (born 1955 and probably lost out on £45k) but I would NEVER EVER support Farage and Reform

The Guardian is cancelling my contract after 19 years continuous employment with no pay-off so totes happy to go to the Indie to continue my investigation into Evgeny’s dad, the ex-KGB spy. The UK media: so many fine choices. theguardian.com/media/2019/nov…

It would follow the pattern of #starmer saying one thing and doing the opposite. He seems incapable of honesty.

The Home Office is creating a new “Europe Hub” for closer ties with the European Union. This is good news. 👏👏👏 independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

He wouldn't want that all over X. So excuse me if I don't repost it.

I put a comment under this piece saying no more than that it failed to mention Mandelson's friendship with Epstein. Within a few minutes my comment had vanished. Mandelson's influence on the media is astonishing. @Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The eminently sensible, trustworthy, honest man that is @AndyBurnhamGM continuing his support for #WASPI women and suggesting a practical way of paying compensation. We doubt he wd have betrayed us and he certainly wouldn't be peddling misinformation. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Shocking to hear the previously extremely supportive @UKLabour's @EmilyThornberry trot out the spurious "90% awareness" line in defence of the indefensible on last night's AQ. @WASPI_Campaign #WASPI #notgoingaway

#WASPI Campaign@WASPI_Campaign·22 Ara

Wrong again ⁦@LucyMPowell⁩. It wasn’t the 2011 increase that started the #WASPI campaign. It was because letters sent out only then first alerted women to the increase made in 1995. Get all your facts straight and drop the “90% knew” line. That’s pure sophistry.

We’ve had enough of sewage in our rivers and mega profits in the boardroom. Nationalisation is not a dirty word, but decimating our infrastructure should be. We have sold the family silver. Let’s get it back and own our future again. #PublicOwnership ⤵️

An absolutely mad medieval carol service at @StBartholomews - queues round Smithfield to listen to readings from the Wycliffe Bible and sing hymns in Latin & Middle English. Win back congregations the 14th century way…

This year, Starbucks signed a $113 million contract to hire 1 CEO. In 3 years, it has failed to sign a fair contract with nearly 12,000 of its union workers. This is what corporate greed is all about. And why I support Starbucks workers on strike for economic justice.
