@ProjectFearlessness
Because #RishiSunak is the latest in a long line of weak PMs who cannot afford to alienate any of his base voters - even at the risk of popular policies.
In short, #ToriesUnfitToGovern
This is a direct attack and removal of a fundamental human right, the right to strike. We are to be compelled to work even when the conditions of our work immiserate us.
This cannot be allowed to stand
Pathetic - yes, that's what #RishiSunak is for cancelling Greek talks over the Marbles

@ChrisMayLA6
I wish I could argue, but I can't. They're not even trying to hide it (eg, maybe we'll cut inheritance tax)
It's obvious, the #Tories are plundering everything they can before they're shown the door. And they'll leave the biggest disaster for the the next PM - and immediately attack him for it.
@ChrisMayLA6
The ECHR forces governments to do things the right way and not take immoral short cuts. Sensible policies still happen with time.
I always ask ECHR opponents what the UK was ever stopped, permanently, from doing. Aside from the issue of the day (which is ongoing), the only answer I ever got was about the hook-handed preacher of hate.
Well, he was successfully extradited to the US. The ECHR is not the problem. Immoral, easy answer politicians are
#ToriesUnfitToGovern
Just a reminder of a WhatsApp conversation from October 2020 showing #BorisJohnson denying the overwhelmed status of our #NHS and dismissing the THREE MILLION over 80s population with a metaphorical shrug.

@RichardJMurphy Note also what happened to the social care levy (1.25% on NI) added by Sunak & Johnson, removed by Truss & Kwarteng and now NI reduced further. Tories plan for social care is #wedontcare #ToriesUnfitToGovern #GTTO
@wood5y
Yes.
As the #ToryNastyParty continues to squeeze benefits/services and push lower wage workers into higher taxes, expect more homeless, more food banks and more illness
Tories are destroying the social safety net (as well as the #NHS ) on their way out the door.
#ToriesUnfitToGovern
Tory fiscal "responsibility":
- NI: insisted the rate must be raised just last year, before making a U-turn. Now cutting the rate
- Tax cuts: called a " virtual impossibility" two month ago, now a pre-election freebie
Growth: still zero
In tax: shhh, the income "windfall" is from millions of lower wage workers paying MORE at higher rates

Wow! Things got really bad between 1980-1990. I bet whoever was PM at that time is hated and their policies thoroughly rejected. Their name is probably a curse word.
I generally ignore opinion pieces, but this one nails the #ToryNastyParty perfectly with hard data on their devastating impact on Britain.
#ToriesUnfitToGovern
Has someone had a word? Realisation seems to be setting in - you cannot simply add the word ‘nonwithstanding’ and override all the relatives, agreements and settled law of this country, because an ex-minister wants it.

FFS. #ToriesUnfitToGovern
Another day of the #Tory conference gets under way & who know what lies, extremism & insults will flow from the podium(s) today... but we know what it all adds up to.
What is extraordinary is that the #Tories are still polling in positive figures at all... but perhaps that tells us what we need to know about the political problems in the UK (and the continuing influence of our toxic-rightist #media).
@statsguy
Maybe the focus of #HS2 talk should be on why it's so much more expensive that high speed rail in China or France.
My guess, it's the layers of Tory mates grafting off the public purse.

Very true … and while 13+ years of Tory austerity have been bad enough, imo the #NeoLiberals & #NeoFascists (viz Bravernan) in power now are fully aware that they are gonna be wiped out at the next GE & are deliberately wageing a ‘scorched earth’ policy to make life for an incoming #RedTory government under #KidStarver as nigh-on impossible as they can!
It’s obvious to anyone on the Left, however, that Starmer & his Shadow Cabinet of nondescripts & no-hopers haven’t between them got a radical neuron in their collective frontal cortices! In all likelihood they will fail abysmally & open the way for the Far Right to come to power!

Tories are working overtime to break the #NHS while they still hold power. Why else have strikes drag on?
#SaveOurNHS #ToriesUnfitToGovern
The Met is, quite rightly, shifting mental health work to the NHS. What resources have the gov given the #NHS for the additional workload?

@ChrisMayLA6
100% correct!
It's more than #30pLee who makes the Conservatives the #NastyParty, it's virtually *every* policy:
- Energy and Food Prices
- Impoverishing Pay for Doctors and Nurses
- Building #FossilsFuels, not #GreenEnergy
- Rwanda

For Scotland though, #SirKidStarver isn't the answer.

The UK tax system may need simplification, but letting Tories do it is like putting mice in charge of storing cheese.
Tories have repeatedly shown that they govern to benefit their donors, not the public.
#ToriesUnfitToGovern
Again, the UK public need to ask ... Why have for-profit healthcare companies built excess capacity in a 100% free, universal healthcare system?
It can ONLY be with foreknowledge that the Tories would underfund the #NHS and shift demand to private profiteers.
Health minister Maria Caulfield is not trying to reduce waiting lists. She is executing the plan to privatise the NHS.

Seems someone in the No 10 Comma Office realised it's a better headline to be working for more #NHS staff than fighting to deport refugees to Rwanda.
Still, it's just another bit of declaratory politics from the party that has no interest in saving the NHS. Too little. Too late. Too unbelievable.
