Just wanted to share quickly how lovely yesterday felt in Southport; a total contrast to the night before. 🧵
The mosque and people’s garden walls were rebuilt by builders and bricklayers volunteering their time and labour:

The government is going to pay our commercial banks £136 billion of excess interest over the next five years on money the government gifted to them using the QE process. That’s £27bn a year that could be used in the NHS and education. This is outrageous. A thread….

Gavin Williamson will pick up £16,876 in severance pay for lasting exactly TWO weeks in government (plus £2,589 in gross pay).
As it's the third time he's been sacked/ forced to quit govt, presumably he's done quite nicely out of taxpayer.

To distract you from their profiteering.
They are trying to get you hating.
Your home is not cold because of refugees
Your bills are not high because of refugees
Your low wages are not because of refugees
Corporate profit is at record highs. Hate profiteering, not people.

Jesus, seeing the #Lula celebrations today has been so moving.
Makes me realise how long it has been since we’ve seen something (anything) hopeful, and how much it is utterly necessary in order to ward off despair.

18 years ago today, the final episode of #EarlyDoors aired.
After just 2 series and 12 episodes, it was the end of the road. To the regiment 🍻

UK Chancellor Hunt has reversed many of the policies initially promised by Liz Truss but some tax cuts remain. What does his plan mean for the British public?
"They're about to embark on another massive wave of... austerity which we know doesn't work" says @MazzucatoM
Can we make sure that the British people choose the next Prime Minister in a General Election rather than a few Conservative Party members. Those Conservatives have an awful track record.

Let’s get rid of the shambolic Conservative Party, it’s not just Liz Truss it’s the whole lot of them.

"People cannot eat growth. ... It does not matter who makes these promises, they are simply not believable, not least because sustainable growth that benefits the majority never occurs in societies as unequal as the UK has become."
New blog from @dannydorling on PEF, on why the promises of growth are turning sour for so many: progressiveeconomyforum.com/…

Did you clap our NHS workers during the pandemic?
In the coming weeks, nurses, junior doctors, ambulance service and other health workers will ballot to strike.
They’re fighting for better – because claps don’t pay the bills.
RT if you’re behind them 👊

I’ve spoken to @SheffieldStar about why I want to be Sheffield Central’s next Labour MP.
I’m putting myself forward now because I’ve had enough of seeing people in our city suffering under the Tories.
