Dying because you have to go to work is political. Dying because you are not protected at work is political. Being poor because you cannot work is political. Talk of having to ration healthcare in a crisis is political. Deflecting blame onto workers in a crisis is political.

The population of the UK has lost so much trust and confidence in the Prime Minister that he is now being kept off TV for the most important updates and announcements.

Brilliant from Tony Benn: "Now. the word socialism is spat out on the media as if it was a sort of disease. But...it's about trying to construct a society round production for need and not just for profit. Around meeting people's needs. That's what it's about..."

These two women spoke so powerfully on #bbcqt last night. It was emotional listening to them - a reminder that the real experts, be it on knife crime or youth services, come from our communities & that’s where we should start in looking for solutions:

Nothing better typifies the current state of things than funding being made available for free framed pictures of the King - to be placed in crumbling schools & the public buildings of councils that are going bankrupt. Their priorities are not our priorities.

Why on earth are some even entertaining an easing of the lockdown? We must demand widening it to a shut down of all non-essential work. The conditions for an easing do not exist yet. Mass testing, contact tracing, physical distancing and eventual vaccination are the priorities.

Don’t forget, Iain Duncan Smith is the man behind almost every cruelty visited on the poor & disabled in this country over the last decade. The fact that he’s rewarded with a knighthood shows the moral bankruptcy of this political system. Stomach churning.

Fury as Tory welfare slasher Iain Duncan Smith is handed a knighthood

There are people in this country who can’t afford to eat because of their policies & rotten ideology. But you know, mince pies or pigs in blankets? 😳
