Austerity is a False Economy that has Brought the Britain’s Roof Crumbling Down

Collapsing school buildings has exposed how the Tories failed

It's the most obvious example of the reckless & self-defeating approach taken by the Tories

Since 2010 Tories have cut infrastructure spending as a share of GDP by a third

Will you help us stop the silencing of peaceful protestors?
Climate change is one of the biggest existential threats we face and citizens are exercising their right to peacefully protest against the Government inaction that is contributing towards it.

Yet climate change protesters are receiving increasingly harsh treatment from the police, Government and judicial system

It seems the Magic Money Tree is only available to help the #Tories’ pals operate #PPE #scams. When it comes to keeping #children safe, not so much.
It’s almost as if Jeremy Hunt was lying when he said the Govt would spend whatever it takes, knowing his comments would garner positive headlines, but having no intentions of actually providing any #money.

We have a world class NHS model. The NHS is not a business model. It is a Not For Profit Welfare Model for the whole of UK whether rich or poor. It is funded through our National Insurance Contributions every month. Our Employers pay their share for employing us too. This collective money goes to the NHS to provide the services.

#RSPB v the #Tories: six #environmental promises - lies or otherwise?

Do the charity’s accusations that the government has reneged on a range of environmental pledges stand up to scrutiny?

Gove, 2019, said: “And what more critical duty can government have than to protect our nation and so far as we can our planet from those forces that will deprive future generations of their birth right and leave them a world dirtier, more degraded and more divided?”
Indeed.

"We’re able to do this because previously it was a disproportionate and poorly targeted old EU ruling that blocked these homes.

"Thankfully we can now reverse that, and alongside that we are investing hundreds of millions of pounds to continue protecting and enhancing our precious natural environment."

Who honestly believes this *rap from Sunak?

I'm pretty sure the last thing the government wants is to stop the small boats crossings. It suits their purposes perfectly for the boats to keep coming and stay in the news agenda.

That way, when all the Tory voters notice that the country is turning to shit after 13 years of Tory rule, they can just point to the small boats crossings and say "Look! Brown people! It must be their fault!"

"Immigration minister Robert Jenrick endured a humiliating interview on LBC this morning, after his claims about the Labour Party were fact checked.

Jenrick clashed with presenter Andrew Castle, after he repeatedly refused to name a lawyer he claimed is working with the Labour Party to stop migrants being deported"

Urgently stop the #MetPolice using facial recognition surveillance

This Orwellian technology is oppressing people in China & Russia.

The Met would be the largest police force in the democratic world to roll out this dangerously authoritarian surveillance

The Met’s stats show facial recognition to be over 80% inaccurate

Who owns it now?
When the Tories privatised our national infrastructure and services they pretended that government is too inefficient to run these things properly, but now they're being run by foreign governments!
As they were flogging off our vital national infrastructure and services on the cheap, the Tories insisted that government is too inefficient to run these things properly.

If anybody in the UK sees this image crop up in any paid-for advertising, please report it to the Advertising Standards Agency. It is absolute #Greenwashing that banks and energy companies wouldn't get away with under the new rules, but apparently we're A-OK with our zombie government flat-out lying.

Sadly, the ASA doesn't regulate unpaid adverts, even gov ones, so all we can do is call out the hypocrisy and boot them out next year

@PlanetMillie

yes, that's very clearly one aspect of their preparation, but what this suggests to me is their (perhaps correct) assessment of what the right wing press will be doing in the run up to the election - as I've said here before, an optimistic view of #Starmer's strategy is too offer as little for the media to grip on to as possible.... but this then requires us both to trust him & accept that when he lies it is for a positive good (even as we complain about #Torylies); ts difficult
