“The atmosphere is there for change”, John McDonnell MP tells our joint fringe event Trades Union Congress with Politics for the Many.

“People have a feeling of such disillusionment with politics.

“In the Labour & TU movement - & I think in the PLP - there’s a view that now is the time for change.”

'Junior doctors and
consultants to go on joint
strike for first time in NHS history.'

[Sky | Thursday 31 August 2023 17:08]

Who's to blame, mostly?

So hold on, Jeremy Hunt has said that any repairs that need to be made to schools affected because of Raac will be funded - but out of the current education budget, as in, the education budget has been essentially cut on the first day of school? This should be bigger news.

Fencoul at mastodon dot scot The third and last ones tempted me, but they’re merely symptoms of the first one.

The most dishonest description of inflation you will ever hear.

Hunt takes as starting point that if inflation is 5% people will pay less more than before than if it were 10%.

They still pay more, but less more.

And Hunt translates that into a 'saving'.

.Rory Stewart is right; we MUST learn from New Zealand (and 100+ other countries!) and switch to a voting system where ALL votes matter.

Only then do all our voices have a chance of being heard.

Please retweet the shit out of this thread. Thank you.

53% of UK voters agree with the statement the UK Government is now ‘institutionally corrupt’, with just 15% disagreeing.

The poll for Byline Times also found most voters believe corruption in Government has got worse in the UK over recent years.

Sad. But no surprise, is it?

Leicester Worker 👆 Since when was that an 'offence' to be accused of?

Inter alia, what did Blair do?

Hmm, yes, er...

WON 3 #GEs IN A ROW.

Corbyn Puppet: 'YES, BUT Jeremy Corbyn WON ONE!!'

Indeed, BUT SADLY FOR THE WRONG PARTY FFS!

If there are any lingering doubts about Sunak's right-wing ideological fixations this should dispel them. Reminiscent of the intervention from former Foreign Office Permanent Secretary that demolished Boris Johnson's final defences.

The reason the schools story is so bad for the Tories is it perfectly strengthens the narrative that the country has started to fall apart because of their lack of care and attention - and so a new government is needed to fix the problems they’ve created.

Nick Tyrone 💯% spot on. #Tories destroy, not create (unless it's dodgy PPE companies).

RAAC and Tory race to the bottom.
Gove illegally stopped the £55bn Labour govt policy to rebuild many schools. Gove lost in High Court
Today former DofE civil servant said Rishi Sunak, as Chancellor, halved the budget for school repairs.
Resignations?
Doubtful..cos they're…

Edwin Hayward 👆 It's fun, fair & fab to see a career school bully get their face smashed into the wall so many times that it eventually looks like a pizza on death row.

Not so great to find it's *your* country led to sh:t by the #Tories and *your* 60m faces smashed to sh:t by their greed.

Yup: 'With #Tory cheapskating and failure BUILT IN.' 👇

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall responds to Piers Morgan's attack on Just Stop Oil:

'These people are prepared to put their liberty on the line in to defend something they passionately believe in. That's why women have the vote in this country.'

Well said.

'Stupid people are rarely stupid about only one thing.'

There must be one for #Brexit and #Borisconi 👇
