The "Rachel from accounts" thing is sexist, classist, misogyny, and anyone who uses it should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

Too many dinosaurs in this country who cannot abide women who succeed.

Conservative Deputy Chairman Matt Vickers MP should do better 👇 #PMQs

The Girl Guide announcement.

What can I say?

I’m imagining if it was my child - the conversations and explanations, the apologies, “I’m sorry, so sorry,” trying to comfort but feeling a failure because I couldn’t protect her from GC hate.

And the child and parents - a little bit more broken.

Loose financial regulations gave us the 2008 financial crash in which extreme free markets collapsed and had to be bailed out by governments acquiring more debt than they did under Covid. So what idiot would loosen regulations and risk a repeat?

So so close to £200,000!

Other parties are funded by the super rich, hedge funders with private healthcare, oil and gas and arms traders.

We're growing our movement with the people.

If you want to help take the fight to Reform - please do chip in!

But his retirement plans are now in “disarray” and “ruined” cos he’s going to have to find an additional £208.33 per month?

He has £2-4 million in savings/investments but claims he is not “cash-rich” and his house was his only “pension”

Seriously @Telegraph, where do you find these people?🤣🤣🙄

Which means he has savings and investments that GENERATE £125,000 income PER YEAR

Meaning his savings and investments must be in the £2-4 million region (depending on the return)

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

Why did the BBC think they should say that a woman in her 90s who has suffered serious injuries “was dressed in dark clothes”?

Do they think that is relevant? Did she in any way make this driver hit her?

Raiding the Warm Homes Plan to find the money for a one-off cut to energy bills is utterly perverse when the Plan exists precisely to insulate homes & thus keep bills lower in perpetuity- this simply isn’t serious #budget2025

Glad to hear end of the 2-child benefit cap at last - 18months late however.

Kemi Badenoch’s speech really grim, references to Benefit street shameful. So Tory , so Telegraph.

(Even my dog agrees, got up and left the room once she started speaking)

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

It's 2029, and a Reform government has sworn in its first batch of politically appointed judges. Suddenly, the Labour Party remembers why jury trials mattered.

The UK has more than enough money to fund our public services and rebuild our infrastructure. But it's hoarded by a tiny minority.

The 50 richest families now hold more wealth than 50% of the population combined.

A tax on the wealth of the top 1% would raise over £70 billion.

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.

Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn
