@BuhyJanner@josephsupple1 I think you'll find the Russians on the eastern front were the biggest problem for Hitler. This facilitated the rest of the allies.
Been reading that Churchill [our greatest hero?] was responsible for the deaths of millions of Bengali's, set the army on striking Welsh Miners, if these stories are true then he's not my hero.
@johnredwood Put govt money into the economy with infrastructure projects, investment and renewal.
Giving workers decent wages increases tax revenues, spending and hence more jobs... and the growth cycle will begin.
We've 12 years of failed trickle down, shrinkage and bullshit conservatism.
The government wants to cut state borrowing. The way to do it is to grow the economy. Cutting taxes will boost output and revenues. Remove the IR 35 changes, cut business taxes, stop windfall taxes. Offer competitive and stable tax rates to promote investment and new jobs.
@johnredwood Capitalism is about profit: minimum wages and working conditions.
If workers hadn't fought for every little thing, our kids would still be down the mines, 310 days a year.
The growth plan, locally and nationally is give working people money to spend, not more wealth for the rich
Strikes make us all worse off. Wanting a more prosperous country with higher real pay is a good aspiration. The government needs to tell us how it will bring that about. We need a growth plan. If we produce more we can be paid more.
@THEJamesWhale@THEJamesWhale, lets see how thick *you are. Arrange these letters to form words:
Ouy aer a pemlteco itt owh hsa on ghrit to cirtciesc retsoh.
@THEJamesWhale These bloody tories plundering the public purse to line their own pockets then claiming there's no money for ordinary people. Why on earth would anyone vote tory?
Thousands of #RoyalMail workers are crossing picket lines as support for the Xmas strike action fades. Common sense breaking out as they defy their hard left CWU union
Who are these people who stand out in the freezing cold outside Westminster Abbey to cheer on the Royal Family ? I don't get it. People are fighting for their livelihoods and standing on picket lines, yet these people stand there to cheer on an overprivileged, entitled family.
Keir Starmer either cannot or will not stand up to his union mates causing strike chaos across the country.
It’s Labour’s nightmare before Christmas delivered with their pal Mick “Grinch” Lynch.
@Johnbel61577389 I should say, given how cold it is, Labour voters stayed home and Tory voters went out to vote Labour because they know there is no justification for the carnage the Government is creating in the UK to ordinary peoples' lives.
Tories are waking up.
Happy days.
@chrisgutowski@totalgoatrodeo@VeganDave@MatthewStadlen@kelvmackenzie I guess you don't know that many companies are registered in tax havens? Wealthy individuals likewise. Why?
To avoid paying taxes in the UK. Thus our services and communities suffer. If they did pay there could be higher wages (which leads to more nurses, spending & tax revenue)
@totalgoatrodeo@ZeroForGranted@VeganDave@MatthewStadlen@kelvmackenzie I don't think 19% pay rises will make anything better for most of us. You are welcome to make voluntary additional contributions, should you so wish, through HMRC website.
An independent pay body has come up with it's recommendation, not Steve Barclay, which I support.
@chrisgutowski@VeganDave@totalgoatrodeo@MatthewStadlen@kelvmackenzie What do you want, a manifesto in 250 chars?
Isn't it enough that the system is failing? Moreso since 2010, which just happens to coincide with Tory government.
SOUNDBITE 1: The NHS is declining as a matter of policy in order to sell it off.
SOUNDBITE 2: It is the Tories policy.
Tory MP @danny__kruger claimed £3,598 on expenses for his utility bill last year.
This was the highest claim by any MP to cover their bills in such a short duration.
Retweet if you think Kruger should pay for his own gas and electric supply.
@chrisgutowski@VeganDave@totalgoatrodeo@MatthewStadlen@kelvmackenzie People don't answer because it's not about a number, it's about the 5th wealthiest society that has the means to care for it's own, if the fat cats hadn't decided that it would be better to leave behind those that they exploit the most.
