This stinks. @BorisJohnson went because he could not be trusted and questions about how he treated number 10 as a personal plaything. Here we go again with @trussliz. Her chief of staff must be on the payroll no shady deals.

"No one should have to beg for a decent standard of living."
SNP Treasury spokesperson @alisonthewliss lambasts the "right-wing, Thatcher-cosplaying" Tories for allowing thousands to slip into poverty.
Just waking to the news that @TheCValentine (our George) died over the weekend.
Indescribably sad. We will release a full statement in the next few days. George's buoyant and genuine love and care were so nourishing and we're beyond grateful to have called him a friend.
Well there yea go … 🌊 🌊

According to @TheIFS the only people who will gain from Tory tax changes are those earning more than £155,000. If you earn less than that, you lose.
Good luck to anyone trying to defend that. https://twitter.com/pjtheeconomist/status/1573307710023647232

If your income is < £155k, you lose
If your income is > £155k you win
If your income > £1m you gain more than £40,000 https://twitter.com/PJTheEconomist/status/1573302375703609347

… like a falling stone #Pound
#Scotland are you watching 👀
The pound is falling. Fast.
On Estonian Resistance Day, we commemorate those who resisted occupying regimes and fought for freedom.
Today Ukrainians show huge bravery as #Russia uses the same playbook we know from Soviet occupation - atrocities, terror, mass deportations.
