Boris Johnson will never be fit to run the country: not if, but when another pandemic occurs, he would be the worst person to have in charge during such a crisis. It will be impossible for him to convince the public about public safety after "Partygate". #BorisJohnson#Partygate
Offshore tax havens are very complex for a reason: they allow you to evade consequences for being "careless". When government borrowing is at a record high & we urgently need infrastructure investment, offshore tax havens feel very wrong. #NadhimZahawi#taxhavens
We have had 14 years of a Tory government that has failed to invest in infrastructure because they only invested in the welfare of the rich. Some rich people do invest, but most are hoarding. Wealth tax is meant for investment, so why the hate? #Conservative#r4today#BBCBreakfast#GMB#kayburley
Rich people don’t see the severity of disasters they caused because others have successfully resolved it, & since they face no repercussions, it's as if the disaster never happened. If a poor person crashes the economy, they go to prison. #r4today#BBCBreakfast#GMB#kayburley
Tories are angry at the UK govt for not being able to afford the winter fuel payment but who made it unaffordable? UK has highest energy bills in Europe & yet energy companies will hike energy bills in Oct, while France will lower theirs! #r4today#BBCBreakfast#GMB#kayburley#winterfuelpayment
Without Brexit, UK economy would be £140bn larger, generating an additional £58bn in annual revenue, enough to cover winter fuel payments. Right-wing media blames public sector wage rises for UK's inability to afford winter fuel payments. #r4today#BBCBreakfast#GMB#kayburley#brexit
Oh good god. Imagine this level of smug when your quote just makes everyone remember how you raised taxes to record levels, removed our rights and ignored us… And got booted out of power because *everything* you ever did lacked detail and substance. Staggeringly dim.
It's ironic for Tories to say Labour hates freedom when Tories stripped Britons of EU freedom of movement. It's even more ironic for Tories to blame Labour for pub closures when Tories' end to EU freedom of movement causes the closures due to staff shortages. #r4today#BBCBreakfast#GMB#kayburley
