Scrooge would be proud. This winter 1000s face getting cut off from heating and electricity because their energy suppliers has forced them onto pre-payment metres. Sign now to tell companies to stop this awful practice. #BanForcedPPMs act.38degrees.org.uk/act/stop-force…

Feb 1st: 300,000 teachers 100,000 civil servants 70,000 university workers 12,000 rail workers Feb 6th: 100,000 nurses 25,000 paramedics The biggest wave of co-ordinated strike action in decades. RT if you’re behind our workers 👊 #EnoughIsEnough

Should #NadhimZahawi be sacked from government? Please retweet for a larger poll.

Starmers questioning of Sunak on ambulance waiting times is absolutely devastating. And the prime minister has no viable response to it.

Can we function without Nurses? No. Can anyone get a job as a nurse? No. Do we have enough nurses? No. Should we pay nurses fairly, retain staff and improving staffing levels. Yes. Retweet if you agree! #FairPayforNursing #NursesStrike #RCNStrike

The Prime Minister is now conning both the public & Parliament in order to railroad through legislation which will rob millions of workers of their democratic right to strike. If you want him stopped RT this widely

The Tories have now destroyed the NHS. The time has therefore come to remove them from office. The most effective way could be to privately prosecute them collectively for Misconduct in Public Office, given the enormity of their collective misdeeds. Please retweet if you agree.

Now I'd be as happy as the next guy to see the back of this Tory government and dozens of Tory MPs losing their seats, but there's also this: A system in which over a million votes are cast for @TheGreenParty but only one Green MP is elected is seriously in need of an overhaul.

Together we can win the change that working people need in this country.

I just signed the petition demanding Liz Truss is denied a resignation honours list. Will you sign too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/liz-… via @38_degrees

It’s unbelievable that @SuellaBraverman was *just* forced to resign for leaking sensitive information and is now back in office. I don’t trust her with our national security - do you? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sign… via @38_degrees

@brigidrussell51 @charlie_psych I'm good thanks. Amid the worsening world, I became a grandfather for the first time in August. Private joy alongside public outrage. Hope and anger, the two drivers of change.

@StephenBurt10 @charlie_psych Oh I so agree. If only politics meant we actually shared our beliefs, concerns, doubts... Felt able to say 'I don't know, but I'll find out'... That we listened & sought to understand each other. Had real & meaningful conversations... Hope all well with you, Stephen x

It is an outrage. I'm incredulous. I cannot believe I'm hearing this 'game show' political shitshow coverage on C4 News...

@brigidrussell51 @charlie_psych Hi Brigid, I agree completely. Every five years we vote away our right to have a say. We need a different politics, and a media that asks how this or that impacts ordinary people, not how the 'markets' will react. And at the heart of this is work like yours on learning to listen

@StephenBurt10 @charlie_psych Hi Stephen, good to hear from you. We need a General Election now, & a reset of politics at all levels. We all need to be involved in politics in a much more meaningful & informed way. It's far too important... Time for full & real dialogue on the many weighty issues facing us...

@brigidrussell51 @charlie_psych I share your outrage. And I don't know what to do with it. Politics used to be about the life we want to live. It now feels like a side show to what so many of us experience and care about. An irrelevance, but one that impacts severely.

@charlie_psych I completely agree, Charlie. Do we get the media we deserve? How have we all let it become so shallow soundbitey gameshow shite..? This country is in a catastrophic situation & the news is seriously covering a has-been disgraced leader dashing back from the Caribbean ffs... 😫

I just supported this case! crowdjustice.com/case/just-a-dr… via @CrowdJustice
