Closing gas storage, choking off investment in domestic oil & gas and now imposing a cliff edge on North Sea - none of them very smart ideas. Bad for national security, the economy, jobs & the environment. thetimes.co.uk/article/uk-and…

@highfieldboxing Publicity stunt ,why else would he be posting on social media!

Anthony Joshua is just a better sporting star than Tyson Fury…does so much more for people. The man doesn’t really need to be at the London Marathon…but he is there. I don’t care if people say it’s contrived, Fury does nothing if it doesn’t involve Tommy Robinson fans.

@MirrorPolitics Does he not realise that its cheaper to sit in a weatherspoons pub than to heat your own house! Another out of touch tory!# Toryidiot.

Lee Anderson questioned whether food poverty exists and hit out at 'do gooders' who run food banks mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

@MirrorFighting He was outclassed and how it was a majority decision was corrupt in itself! Eddie if you want the public to believe you and support you please dont take the piss!

🗣️ I think he just exploded because he lost and he was devastated. He’s given everything to try and win this fight." Eddie Hearn on Anthony Joshua's reaction after losing to Oleksandr Usyk mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/a…

Travel chaos at ports & airports sums up our govt perfectly. Cut public services to the bone ✅ Stand by & leave market to miraculously swing into action, except it doesn’t ✅ Profess outrage/bafflement that leaving EU results in enhanced border checks ✅ Blame everybody else ✅

Johnson & Sunak gave bankers a £7.3bl bonus; they gave £28ml to celebrate 70 yrs of hereditary privilege & have given £200ml towards the energy bills of those who own second homes. All while taking £20 off Universal Credit & raising National Insurance taxes for ordinary workers.

Super-rich donors who've given the Tories £18 million in the last few years wrote to MPs yesterday demanding they don't ditch Boris. Tory MPs dutifully obliged. A government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.

Boris Johnson and his Tory Party take the British public for fools. Only Labour will put the public first, tackle the cost of living crisis and restore your trust in politics.

Gordon Brown: Every family in the country owes a debt of gratitude to nurses and the best way to do this is to pay decent wages. @theRCN #RCN2022 #FairPayForNursing

Just had to withdraw my comment in the @HouseofCommons saying the Prime Minister had lied. Lie and remain PM but call out those lies and risk being thrown out Parliament. This is UK politics in 2022.

I just voted for a parliamentary motion to clean up our politics. After a year of corrupt contracts and of Boris Johnson dragging politics further into the gutter, this should have been an easy motion for the Tories to have backed. Not a single Tory MP voted for the motion.

@PaulMaloneyGMB Its not a competition between regions! The only thing that matters is that people are members whatever the reason and until you stop this pathetic squabbling nothing in the union will improve! Time to concentrate on dealing with members problems and not worrying which region

Due to the ongoing decline in GMB membership in the London Region the CEC are putting Southern Region members into London to prop them up. Oxford membership will transfer to London. GMB members in ASDA Didcot won’t be happy

The bosses of Britain’s top 100 companies have seen their pay increase to an average of £3.6 MILLION. Funny how all those powerful people telling workers not to demand higher pay are so silent on this.

So much for them being outraged eh! Once again they show their true colours.

🥂 Thanks to @Bishops_CA, we have two hospitality tickets to give away for tomorrow's game against @GuiseleyAFC. 📲 To be in with a chance of winning, simply like and retweet this post. The lucky winner will be chosen just after 4pm today. #BornToBeFylde

Fantastic end to a busy week with the news that a member has won a tribunal against an unscrupulous employer and due a pretty substantial payout 😃 #joinaunion

@Unodancingbear @jessphillips Dont have to resign,they are not making the rules and ignoring them!

@jessphillips Anyone resigned over this

Weird for someone to resign over a party that didn't happen.

Last night Conservative Ministers scuttled out of their £15,000 a table fundraising ball to vote through their plans to make my constituents and the poorest pensioners lose their homes to protect millionaires' mansions. This social care con is an inheritance tax on the North.

40 new hospitals? That was a lie. Northern Powerhouse Rail? That was a lie. HS2 to Leeds? That was a lie.
