🔴@Helen_Whately, Shadow Secretary of State for Work & Pensions, has claimed £2 MILLION expenses in 10 years.
£300,000 relates to her own travel and accommodation - yet she only lives 50 miles from London.
Her boss, @KemiBadenoch has 3 children, claims £2.7K per month to rent a 6 bed farmhouse & tried to claim expenses for a family holiday.
The country can't afford these @Conservatives.

This is how the UK Chancellor can increase the income tax personal allowance by £3,000.
Must end/curtail subsidies to banks.
Align tax rates on capital gains & dividends with those on wages
Inconvenience to a few, but millions lifted out of hardship.

UK Chancellor pledges cheaper marmalade and gherkins in pre-Budget package of 'everyday fixes'.
Fiddling at the edges.
Need redistribution of income and wealth.
End profiteering in housing, energy, water, essentials.
Increase tax personal allowance.

It's just fucking disgraceful that these Tory traitors are given a platform on national TV to bleat and whine about defence spending.
When they spent 14 years destroying Britain's armed forces and defence infrastructure.

Politicians should ‘look at the UK economy as a CEO would’, says Lloyds Bank boss.
From a bank that hasn't investigated HBOS frauds.
No thank you. Companies enrich shareholders. Countries have entirely different purpose, governance, accountability.

Dear America,
trump is trying to FORCE Americans to accept data centers because he stands to get filthy rich.
If you don't want data centers shoved down your throat, forced to accept those loud, energy and water sucking monstrosities in YOUR neighborhood, Vote Blue.
That's it.

🚨 ENGLAND'S RESERVOIRS COULD RUN DRY BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
A major investigation by @thetimes has uncovered secret Government warnings of a potential 'Day Zero' water crisis, with some reservoirs at risk of running completely dry.
THIS IS A FRESHWATER EMERGENCY.
Drought, pollution, leaking pipes and years of underinvestment are putting our rivers, water supplies and future at risk.
But this crisis is solvable. With the right leadership and investment, we can turn things around.
The Government must declare a national freshwater emergency and deliver a funded plan to secure our water future.
Because if we don't act now, the UK will run dry.

Two words: 25th Amendment.
Three more words: This Is Madness.

Trump did not post this. No such post is on his accounts. The screenshot came from a Facebook page, Branson Area Breaking News, that calls itself "satire or parody." news.meaww.com/fact-check-did…

Yesterday this fox was one of SIX hunted by the Fitzwilliam Hunt.
With the hunting community desperately clutching at straws trying to deny the fact that for over 20 years they've been using "trail" hunting as a smokescreen, hunts such as the Fitzwilliam are doing everything in their power to prove their own side wrong.
A recent news report quoted Worcestershire Hunt Master Adrian Ward as saying "We're in the open countryside...but we do put everything in place that we can." We wonder what he would say about six foxes being hunted during one cub hunting meet?
Hunts and their 'governing bodies' are not working together, they are a contradiction in terms, and still after twenty plus years cannot get their stories straight which only further exposes their lies.

A reminder of this animal abuser who violently beat a puppy to death.
Thomas James Eddinson, from Gainsborough, beat one-year-old Jack Russell Oreo to death in a sustained attack while caring for his partner’s dog.
A post-mortem revealed horrific injuries, including a ruptured liver, extensive internal bleeding, bruising across his body and damage to his brain and eye.
Afterwards, Eddinson sent his ex-partner a video taunting her about what he had done.
In March 2021, he admitted causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. He received an 18-week prison sentence, suspended for two years, 150 hours of unpaid work and a 10-year ban on keeping animals.
The court heard he had experienced foster care, mental health difficulties and dyslexia in mitigation.
Oreo lost his life in a brutal attack. Eddinson avoided imprisonment.

Water companies want to push up bills even further.
AND Thames Water wants an excruciatingly expensive £2.4 billion bailout.
No more water company failures at our expense. Let them go bust!
✍️Take 2 mins to email your MP and ask them to urge the Chancellor ahead of the budget: stop the bill hikes and bring Thames Water into special administration!

Trump is now talking about Nicki Minaj’s “one hell of a beautiful ass”. This is how the country has fallen.

Please retweet Mark Cuthbert bought over 50 pets online to use as bait for his hunting dogs to rip apart. #Ayr #Scotland He sent his partner to pick the pets up as people are more likely to trust a woman. Sellers thought the pets were going to loving homes. Cruel people don't always look cruel. JAILED FOR 10 MONTHS, 10 YEAR BAN, DETAILS👇 mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/sa…… Never sell or give your pets away on pet selling sites or social media. Cruel people can fake being kind.

Thames Water spent £2bn on fees in 18 months to stay private. Now it's asking its creditors for £2.4bn more. But it's customers who will pay the price via their water bills.
If the deal goes ahead the average Thames Water bill will have risen from £488 to £672 while Labour has been in government.
