@MarieAnnUK The Tory philosophy doesn't work, from privatisation to tax; cutting 'red tape'; welfare; expenditure; austerity/public services to foreign investment and everything else in running our national economy. It all damages our nation and is a function of the pure greed of a few.

@BladeoftheS I'll help them pack

"Billionaires will leave if you tax them." Please explain how the Energy Companies, Supermarkets, Landlord Empires and Water Companies are going to get up and leave? They can't, it is a lie.

@premnsikka This is in your face corruption

Reeves given £27,000 donation from lobbying firm linked to Thames Water bidder KKR. Companies don't donate, they buy access to advance their interests. No matter what politicians say, people see this as corruption. Must ban all political donations. archive.ph/BMaQ9

@Dorsetecho He probably doesn't realise it but he would have had an instant death. I've seen films of the fireball from such events.

@Malcolm_Sillick @RhonddaBryant Most of that money is in Tory bank accounts. We're you asleep for 14 years?

@RhonddaBryant And all this has happened since last July has it?? 🤔 If you are going to take credit for things the Tories did, then also take credit for the "£22 billion black hole".

This is really good news. A massive investment in the UK. It will be transformative for our visitor economy. Delighted we have got this over the line. Universal chooses Bedford to be location of its first theme park in Europe theguardian.com/travel/2025/ap…

@Keir_Starmer Wow. Putin really wants Starmer out doesn't he? Just look at this tirade. All orchestrated and manipulated by Russia. Funny how Putin was so friendly with Boris.

In 20 or 30 years, I want people to say that it was this Labour government that made the NHS last for decades to come. Vote Labour on Thursday 1 May.

@Propheticz @Keir_Starmer Boris was his bitch

@Keir_Starmer No chance. Trumps trampled all over you. We need strong leadership.

@HelenMagi @Keir_Starmer Heaven forbid you have to watch someone you love dearly die in agony, like me, you might suddenly be in favour of assisted suicide. To keep your loved one alive in that suffering is torture not only for them but the rest of the family. That is the current situation.

@Keir_Starmer Perhaps Sir Keir should tell the elderly lady that he plans on implementing an assisted suicide service free at the point of use on the NHS, saving the NHS millions of pounds in costs.

@premnsikka That's blatant obfuscating! An 'in your face' attempt to obscure and mislead. Democracy needs reform. Ministers who do this need to be removed from office. It's so dishonest of them.

I have once again asked the UK govt to curb profiteering by energy companies. Not only households, but industry is suffering too. Steelmaking and many other industries highly dependent on energy will struggle. Watch the Minister's reply.

US tells European companies to comply with Trump’s anti-diversity order. His diktats must be applied if they are a supplier or service provider to the US govt, Wishes of national govts and electorate don't count. Will Europe fight-back or comply? archive.ph/cvBUG

I see that news of @labourlewis Water Bill and the debate in Parliament yesterday has made it all the way to Ireland. Well done sir, tip of the hat. irishnews.com/news/uk/mp-cal…

UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting accepted £53,000 from private health recruiter pre-NHS job cuts Despite claiming that recruiters were ripping-off the NHS. Donors invest, return is govt contracts. Must criminalise receipt/payment of political donations archive.ph/KMpLk

@premnsikka Tax the rich. If you give £1m to a billionaire they will just salt it away offshore. If you give it to the poorvthey will spend it and boost the economy.

Highly paid FT editors advise UK govt to cut welfare spending; hurt the disabled, sick. poor, old. Silence on redistribution of wealth; higher wages, reducing corporate welfare, ending tax perks of the rich It is class war. archive.ph/eJcv3 ft.com/content/cd3624…

1% of the UK population has wealth of £2.8 trillion, compared to £2.4trn by 70% of the population combined. FOUR Britons have more wealth than 20m people combined. Rich have hijacked govts. Must tax the rich to improve life chances of the rest. leftfootforward.org/2025/03/heres-…

@BBCDorset Frying tonight?

Saucepan or bomb? Navy called after beach discovery bbc.in/41LzY8y

Trump, Vance & others either have forgotten or never knew that Zelensky signed a ceasefire agreement with Putin in 2019. Three years later, Putin launched his full-scale invasion. So, signing another ceasefire with no security guarantees feels like suicide for Ukrainians.

@WildlifeTrusts Snowdrops!

What is your favourite sign of spring? 🌼 🐝 wildlifewatch.org.uk/seasonal-wildl…

@AmbJohnBolton @mikegalsworthy It's a party system in US politics. Trump and Vance are Republicans. I name the Republicans as the owners of this policy or instead they must publicly disown it and distance themselves from it. If not, they must face the consequences at the ballot box.

Trump and Vance have declared themselves to be on Russia's side in the Russo-Ukraine war.  This is a catastrophic mistake for America's national security.  And let's be clear:  Trump and Vance now personally own that policy.  It is not the view of a majority of Americans of either or no political party.

@premnsikka The tax payer mustn't be made to prop up privatised companies that are otherwise bankrupt. The government must then renationalise (at no cost to the tax payer) and pursue shareholders to pay for outstanding debts and losses.

Rail fares up by 4.6% in England/Wales. Passenger services coming into public ownership Rolling stock companies (ROSCOs) remain private. Govt to rent carriages from ROSCOs, profit margin 41.6%. Billions will be paid from public purse, profit guaranteed. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@jban1961 @premnsikka The government wants to boost growth. Giving £1m to the rich does nothing - they hide it in offshore accts. The poor have to spend it, thus boosting growth. The rich must realise if the poor have no £££, they cannot buy the things that make the wealthy richer!

@premnsikka Well, most of workers pay rises are spent locally, so some pressure on inflation. Not a lot but some. Whereas exec pay saved( some offshore, hidden) spent abroad, staycations via property registered as business. I know that is a very generalised comment, someone prove otherwise

GSK to hike CEO pay from £10.6m to £21.6m. Corporate wealth generated by workers. Will their pay increase by the same rate? No chance. Govt tells workers wage rises are inflationary. But hikes in exec pay, dividends, share buybacks OK It is class war. archive.ph/3Q5ht
