Can we make it clear to everyone that the £8m a day Asylum costs do NOT go to Asylum Seekers but straight to rich Conservative Donor 'Hotel' owners. Like Bibby Stockholm it is a con to give huge amounts of money to Donors for almost nothing.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

#PostOfficeScandal #PostOfficeInquiry #MrBatesVsThePostOffice #StateSponsoredScandal #StateCoverUp A Farewell Ode to the NFSP In shadows deep, where justice hides, A Federation's silence, where truth abides. NFSP, a name once held in esteem, Now whispers of failure, a broken dream. They vowed to protect, to stand by their own, But when darkness fell, they left them alone. In the Horizon storm, where lives were torn, The Fed's voice was muted, forlorn. The cries of the innocent, unheard, unseen, As the NFSP turned away, cold and mean. Their promises empty, their actions unkind, Leaving broken hearts and shattered minds. The victims sought solace, a guiding hand, But found only betrayal, across the land. The Federation they trusted, their shield and might, Abandoned them to darkness, devoid of light. Oh, NFSP, where was your strength and grace? When lives were shattered, leaving no trace. The scars remain, a testament to pain, A reminder of the trust you did disdain. @NFSP_UK @PostOffice @jreynoldsMP @rushanaraali @PMsinCWU @CWUPostmaster @staticsean @voiceofthePM @CWUnews @AndyFurey_CWU @The_TUC @sandratizzard

Serving sub postmaster here with a message from the front line to the new Postal Affairs Minister when you’re appointed. You’ve a network to save and the only way that you will do that is by working with the people who are the network. The postmasters. Please listen to us. Please give us truly independent representation which the current board deny us. A few nominal ‘postmaster’ director puppets mean nothing to me. Focus groups and listening groups mean nothing to me because POL don’t listen and they only turn their focus on me to pretend they will change. They won’t change unless and until we are independently represented. Their whole culture is unchanged. They live by the bonus culture. That’s the culture that resulted in the ongoing Horizon scandal. There’s another scandal here and now and it’s the underpayment of the greatest social network in the land. It’s all at risk. We’re not just postmasters. We’re they eyes and ears of communities. We are the social safety net in communities. We are the ‘doers’ and the ‘fixers’ in communities. We are another emergency service. Were the ears of the community. We’re the advocates for the socially unrepresented. We give our life advice to the community. We give our lives to the community. Our job is a vocation. Like yours. But be warned and make sure that you hear the right things. The NFSP does not represent postmasters. It is wholly funded by POL and is an arm of the Post Office PR machine. It needs to be called out for what it is. Your government is about Change. Please do contact me to talk about it. I am the CWU subpostmasters branch secretary. We’re ready to give all postmasters independent representation. One small concession you can tell the board to make that will lead to one major change. My DMs are open Minister.

Brexit was won not just by those who voted but by those who didn’t. The Tories are now fighting a voter suppression campaign hoping that if millions don’t vote because they think everyone else will they can squeak back in. The polls mean nothing. It is all about voting on the day. Vote them out. Defeat their STOP THE VOTES strategy. Inflict the SUPERBEATING they deserve

The fortunes of war can be fickle. Sometimes they weigh in your favour - sometimes not. 80 years ago today an incident near the tiny mid-Kent village of Charing brutally illustrated this. Hitler's V1 doodlebug campaign was in its early weeks. Buzz bombs aimed at... (thread 1/10)

Reform UK plan tax cuts which they say will cost £70bn; however our analysis shows the actual cost will be at least £93bn. And their funding figures are out by £15bn+ All this means Reform UK have a total unfunded cost of at least £38bn - about two Liz Trusses.

when you see the VAT on school fees issue covered in the right wing media remember that 93pc of us use state schools. Seven percent use private schools. That includes most editors and self appointed opinion formers, and most ‘top’ Tories mirror.co.uk/news/politics/p…

It’s still completely lost on UK media that @RishiSunak has repeatedly refused to rule out joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR. That alone should see if thrown out of office For the shocking implications watch this👇
To rapturous applause Prime Minister @RishiSunak just threatened to join Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR - and even more shocking - not a single journalist present thought it worthy of question or challenge If that outrages you RT this widely

MAKE LYING WRONG AGAIN
We must find a way to stop politicians lying on matters of fact and evidence. Our democracy cannot survive in a sea of lies. What about 3 strikes and they are out? If MPs truly believe in democracy and don't want to be lied to themselves, how could they not support such an idea?

Angela Rayner has said she will publically release her last 15 years of tax records if Rishi Sunak, Jeremy Hunt and James Daly release theirs. RT if you want to see all their tax returns, and all the tax they didn't pay.

They aren’t just different countries, they are bitter and sometimes violent neighbours. Cross-border attacks have been one of the most pressing issues in the region in the past couple of years.
Policing Minister Chris Philp has just asked if Congo is a different country from Rwanda while on BBC's Question Time 👀

A pleasure to meet @katieddowney and Rebekah Foot #LostChancesForSubpostmasterChildren today to discuss how I can help their campaign to ensure Fujitsu does the right thing. Adult children of subpostmasters #HorizonScandal are victims too. Opportunities stolen; relationships damaged; mental health harmed. lostchances.co.uk

Suella Braverman is the criminal, she got rid of all the legal routes and then demonised them.

That's what independent unions are for. Had there been one doing it's job the PO would not be in the bottomless hole they now find themselves.
