Paying less to teachers & nurses outside London “is no longer my policy” say Liz Truss but profiteering by oil companies still is. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/liz-truss-never-proposed-paying-public-sector-workers-less-outside-london-brandon-lewis_uk_62ea1761e4b0c55016153dd7
We need an @CommonsEFRA inquiry into this environmental shellfish slaughter and Government cover-up
Ministers and MPs leaned on government officials investigating the death of thousands of crabs and lobsters in north-east England to deny that dredging by a ports giant was a likely cause, openDemocracy can reveal.

Brexit: an update (with Anna Ford)
Will the BT CEO work even harder with his £850,000 pay increase to £3,5m than ten doctors?
If he gave key workers half the £700 million dividend (of £2billion pandemic profit) they’d get £9000 instead of a £1500 real pay cut. Watch:-

Imagine what we could have done with the money, to pay Belgium 55 times the average electricity price to avert a blackout, had we invested in renewables earlier. https://www.energylivenews.com/2022/07/26/uk-bought-electricity-from-belgium-at-record-prices-last-week-to-keep-the-lights-on/
From 2015 the Tories choked off renewable energy - knowing onshore wind is popular, nuclear expensive and fossil fuel insecure & catastrophic - making a problem into an energy crisis https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/may/10/challenge-conservatives-energy-priorities-cuts-renewables

To get a stronger economy, better paid jobs & tackle the cost of living crisis we need faster export growth but @BorisJohnson ‘s poorly negotiatedEU deal is holding businesses back.

Conservative leadership contest: the proposed tax cuts are big but aren't the answer to the cost of living crisis. Just 15% of gains from scrapping the NICs rise go to poorest half of households, who are most affected by rising energy bills, while 28% of gains go to richest 5% 🧵
70 studies show air pollution causes mental impairment - attention, memory, language and cognitive - and accelerates dementia.
Yet Govt PM2.5 target is now 2040 not 2030 and twice WHO limit!

Chickens after 2 years in congested space have no feathers & stop laying, but bought for £1 by Summit Good farm, after a few weeks, recover their feathers & lay again:)

"We need to make our Rwanda policy work" - @RishiSunak tells @AndrewMarr9 "we need control of our borders". Watch the full interview on @GlobalPlayer.
How have I only just seen this?
Your reminder, that the Govt has spent £120m of our money on this
…so far.
@GeraintDaviesMP @swpolice Thank you for having us and showing us around. Great experience
If we had the EU carbon border-tax in UK then Tata steel would be more profitable https://twitter.com/bcg/status/1549787456018518017?s=21&t=zU9pbEQP7mk2rcFr9xmT4A
UK Govt should invest in an equity share of Tata, alongside a carbon-border tax to reduce imports of carbon-intensive Chinese steel & increase sales of greener UK steel & to pay back the taxpayer https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62262290

@GeraintDaviesMP asks Johnson about student loans whilst being drowned out by the Tory benches.

And just look at Suella Braverman…
Our Attorney General no less
Telling us it was project fear
And though her lies have been exposed
And billions lost
Not only did she not apologise nor face consequences…
She ran for f*cking PM.

Brexit voters were lied to that we’d all be better off after a divorce from the EU - not pay £1517 a household, plus lost jobs & trade.
Johnson’s Brexit divorce bill per UK household jumps by £357 to £1517 - money desperately needed for heating & eating https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-divorce-bill-increase-b2128542.html

Johnson’s LAST LIE AT #PMQs - that students won’t pay back more than they borrowed & will get high paid jobs - not with 7% interest rates & 400,000 fewer at work!
Johnson refuses to help 3.7 million people on student loans facing 7% interest rates from September choosing instead to let his city friends make money out of the crisis #PMQs

This is the sort of attack that needs delivering every single day from the Labour front bench!!! https://twitter.com/Stuzipants/status/1549128059395112960
Watch this 👇 Labour MP for Swansea West Geraint Davies has just eviscerated Boris Johnson and laid waste to every single claim he’s made where he’s insisted he got the big calls right… absolutely ruthless and every word speaking truth to power… #NoConfidenceVote
1) Watch Geraint Davies nail it
2) Observe the behaviour, heckling and hand actions from the Tory benches
3) Grimace as Boris Johnson ignores the very real and serious question and talks utter shite yet again
Our politics is in the bin.

"Will he help 3.7m people on student loans since this government took power, who face 7% interest rates this September as well as inflation on heating and eating and rent?
"Or will he help his city friends making money out of this crisis?"
