I see the "migrants taking all the new jobs" nonsense is back, in the Mail, Telegraph and Times. Reminder that this is BS, and IPSO ruled repeatedly that this is not what the data says. I expect corrections from all of them (Times has already agreed to correct) www.ipso.co.uk/rulings/1183...

Screencap of Elon Musk replying to a tweet: 

'Donald Trump: "We told Zelensky, you can do whatever you want to Russia, but don't hit the refineries because that's a world problem. And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel. He better damn well stop".'

Universal Credit doesn't know the price of a pint of milk. Or a weekly food shop. Or a heating bill. Leaving millions without enough to survive and forced to turn to food banks. 🫸 The UK gov has the chance to change this. We're calling for Universal Credit to be set based on actual living costs.

Private water companies are trying to convince you that taking our water into public ownership is too expensive But we can bring water into public hands for LESS than they will siphon out of our bills over the next 5 years Public ownership now!
Graphic that says "Water privatisation is a scam. Public ownership now. £14 billion the cost of bringing water into public ownership, according to Moody's in 2019 VS £22 billion amount banks and shareholders will take out of our water bill in the next 5 years"
