CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture.

It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.

The performing arts, sociology and anthropology are among the subjects the Conservatives would like to cut

Our movement is living rent free in the heads of Telegraph journalists at the moment.

Whilst we’re all having a good laugh, here’s another example of Jenrick’s good natured sense of humour, here he was painting over murals intended to make ‘lone’ children feel less scared whilst being held in an asylum centre.

Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.

FFS! They’re actually dribbling at the lips at what Trumps is getting away with in the US.

Did he come up with this his idea all by himself or was it one of those US financed fink twanks in Twufton Street?

Shaker @shakerpainter.bsky.social · 1d

Doesn’t even mention BREXIT! And what did the Tories do during the pandemic — profiteering, fast tracking their cronies, family members, business partners to the tune of billions! Why we’re all in this hole is down to the Tories and their billionaire backers. Eat, sleep, repeat if Reform ever get in

Shaker @shakerpainter.bsky.social · 1d

Perfect example of the divide between billionaires and the rest of us! Raking in millions of tax payer money, generating huge profits and delivering an utterly criminal level of human decency. Billionaires should be taxed back to millionaire status!
