It is remarkable that during an energy crisis, Liz Truss opposes cheap, homegrown power for Britain. This reckless decision will keep energy bills high and make our country less energy secure. ft.com/content/c40c33e2-0684…

This is so, so true. We seem to have learned nothing from the carpet-slippered creep of fascism into the mainstream in recent years. The Home Secretary not only *dreams* of deporting refugees to Rwanda, she boasts about it in public.

When illegal, inhumane treatment of a marginalised group is not even framed as a “necessary evil” by politicians anymore, but something to take joy from or to dream about, a line has been crossed. Period.

Conservative Councillors at Central Bedfordshire Council voted unanimously against 82p worth of #FreeSchoolMeals per child per day.. ..then immediately voted FOR a payrise for themselves saying "we're all affected by cost-of-living crisis". Never Vote Tory. #ToriesOut88 #GENow

The government has indicated it could cut benefits for the poorest in society to pay for tax cuts benefiting the rich. trib.al/PWpe1VO

Welfare claimants could be plunged further into a cost of living crisis as the government tries to dig itself out of a financial hole.

An 👀 watering budget that UK will have to pay for when the bills arrive from the borrowing. Staggering. Please, economics people, explain the sound theory where this works. As it stands, it seems a plan to grow offshore tax havens and not the UK. Tell me it is better than that

So that’s it. Who are the winners from this budget? Bankers, city fatcats, fossil fuel giants, the extremely wealthy. Who are the losers? Everyone else. And not one word about climate & nature protection, on which all wealth ultimately depends #Bankersbudget
