Dreadful flag snagging by this die-hard supporter of the world's longest surviving coloniser. She'll be made Chancellor of the University of Oxford after all her deeply solicitous brow-nosing

It seems there is total lack of shared agency intelligence, contrary to your optimism on Friday's American Election podcast. Federal v local. Not good

Today’s increase to the NHS surcharge will push more people into poverty and insecurity in a cost-of-living crisis. Read @Praxis_Projects’ thread on the impact of this hostile policy. xitter.cf/Praxis_Projects/status… – at Broadstairs, England
Overnight, the cost of healthcare increased by 66% for around 1.5 million people in our communities.
Here's what @pheenywhits, Praxis Policy and Public Affairs Manager, had to say on the NHS surcharge fee increase🧵
Why is Paul Johnson's (IFS) view on taxation policy treated as gospel? Doyen of @LBC Andrew Marr hangs on his every word like tablets from Moses. Why not invite Prem Sikka on to provide an alternative perspective?

Post Office classified subpostmasters as “negroid types”, “Chinese/Japanese types”, “dark skinned European types”.
This influenced decision to prosecute innocent people.
No person has yet been held responsible for the injustices.
Will they be?

This is exactly why “BDS” is an important strategy and tool to use against regimes such as #apartheid regimes!
It is especially persuasive when those countries boycotting (racially discriminative regimes) are Europeans and Americans, bcoz racist regimes look up to whiteness 🤷🏾♂️

The tragic death of a man on the Bibby Stockholm barge underscores the cruelty and hostility of the Tory Government's policy towards people seeking asylum from war and persecution.
A system designed to strip people of all hope and humanity is beneath us.
DAC Taylor allowed the right-wing thugs to come close to the Cenotaph. His reasoning is odd to say the least.

In Tory UK
Real average wage same as in 2005
14.4m people live in poverty.
3.8m can't afford food or other basics.
Half of these have weekly income of less than £85.
Live expectancy shrinking.
Govt said it won't change policies.
How will many will die?

Matt Hancock wanted to decide "who should live or die "
Endless gut wrenching testimony insulting the very fabric of this country.
What do we have running the UK?
An entitled, arrogant, greedy, divisive, useless, irresponsible, morally bankrupt, bunch of what?!

For every family who lost a loved one, remember this...
Sir Patrick Vallance notes in his diaries (Aug-Dec 20) that many Tory backbenchers' attitude to Covid was "NATURE'S WAY OF DEALING WITH OLD PEOPLE"
Johnson described as being "OBSESSED WITH OLDER PEOPLE ACCEPTING THEIR FATE, and letting the young get on with life and the economy going".
