Did the current Labour Party really spend all that effort scorching the earth of socialism just to put bus fares up by 50% and hammer pensioners? Embarrassing.

So, it appears Corbyn got significantly more votes in the ‘biggest catastrophe ever’ election in 2019 than Starmer has in the ‘greatest result ever’. Interesting.

A Prime minister never elected by the public, a man who didn’t even win the leadership amongst Conservative members is lecturing us about democracy? Cant wait to boot him out.

If the Home Secretary is calling your town a shithole in the House of Commons, just imagine what they are saying behind closed doors. Levelling up was a joke and it’s on you.

Tax cuts disproportionately benefit the better off on society. Raising the tax free threshold from £12,570 is the equitable solution.

Bringing back the architect of Austerity and Brexit says it all about this govt. Out of touch, out of ideas, and soon - out of office.

Fed up of these people coming into our towns taking up free hotel rooms, robbing tax payers and ruining public services. But that’s enough about the Tory conference..

Few leaders around the world have shown the same commitment to the many, to every single minority, to every decent and worthy campaign against the oligarchy as Jeremy Corbyn has. Labour is all the poorer now that Starmer, seeking to impress the oligarchy, is expelling Jeremy.

Falling inflation doesn't mean falling prices. Inflation is still at 10.1%. Workers still need a pay rise.

In Belgium, wages go up with inflation by law. This hasn’t led to a ‘wage/price spiral’, indeed inflation there is lower than here. When our govt tells you something is impossible, they are lying to you.

By 2027 just 6% of rivers in England will be in "Good" ecological condition. When I recently challenged the new chairman of the @EnvAgency Allan Lovell about this he gave me the old "I don't recognise those numbers," brush off. Well sir next time read your brief.

To all the people who are blaming nursing strikes for delays in treatment Have you been living under a rock this past year?! The NHS is chaos, manufactured chaos at that. If you truly want someone to blame look no further than Westminster. #NursesStrike #nhsstrikes

We'll save you watching. The short version: "When inflation goes up, it's for reasons completely beyond our control - but when inflation comes down, it is 100% thanks to our excellent fiscal management." It's like a modern retelling of King Canute and the tides...

Teachers, nurses, paramedics, fireman, railway workers, posties, civil servants - the 'key workers' who kept our country moving throughout Covid at great risk to their health. How did the Tories' thank them? With a pay cut. When these workers go on strike we must support them.

I make no apology for my rage. This vile Victorian piece of crap Government has just declared war on working people. When workers democratically vote to strike the Government wants to force them to work against their will & have them sacked if they don’t. WE MUST FIGHT IT

Inflation will tumble in 2023. Deflation is possible in 2024. And none of that is down to any government policy or action. https://t.co/HUT5CAod4i Inflation is going to fall, and even disappear by 2024 unless we have another global catastrophe. Maths guarantees it.

I have been asked to suggest why I am so confident inflation will fall this year. Let me offer an explanation. First, there is simple arithmetic. Inflation is a measure of the change in prices, and...

This ‘Unions vs the people’ narrative is nonsense. The Unions ARE the people. Union leaders work for their members, not the other way around.
