I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds @joswinson an irritating and entirely disingenuous politician. Her attack lines make a *lot more sense when you review who funds her... independence.ws/who-funds-jo-s… #NeoliberalDemocrats #KPMG
@joswinson Let's take Melissa Geiger of #KPMG who donates to @joswinson's office

Melissa is a Partner and Head of International Tax and Tax Policy for KPMG in the UK home.kpmg/uk/en/home/con…
@joswinson @atulkshah @premnsikka @rbrooks45 @RichardJMurphy @PeoplesAudit Then there's @joswinson donor - Michelle Quest, also of #KPMG - a corp tax kingpin of the global 'tax planning' [read #taxavoidance] industry. These people clearly have a *lot to lose if a Labour Govt crack down on London's pinstripe accounting mafia...
@joswinson @atulkshah @premnsikka @rbrooks45 @RichardJMurphy @PeoplesAudit @nw_nicholas @D_Raval @The45Storm @Renegade_Inc @jechristensen56 @nickshaxson Of course there's always room in the @LibDems donors tent for a banker or two, Alan Davison - a Lehman Brothers broker, and his wife Liz Davison also bankroll @JoSwinson theyworkforyou.com/mp/11971/jo_sw…
So who does @joswinson represent exactly? Ordinary @LibDems members? Or the global tax dodging elite & their enablers #KPMG who are tearing society apart?
@joswinson @LibDems Wonder what @duncanhames, Exec Director of 'charity' @TransparencyUK makes of his wife @joswinson taking ££thousands in donations, from #KPMG tax lawyers, robbing the UK & poor developing countries of tax revenues?! Is this #lobbying or #corruption Duncan? theyworkforyou.com/mp/11971/jo_sw…

Western Government's lax attitudes to public health & safety, as a secondary consideration to market integrity is being brutally exposed by effectiveness of response in Asia #COVIDー19 #CoronavirusOutbreak #Korea
Look at the trend of #Coronavirus spread in S Korea (everyone with symptoms gets #Covid19 testing) vs UK where only the v sick, footballers, CEOs & MPs get tested.

I've had enough of Senior #BBC Management & journalists gaslighting the British public & refusing to apologise for the BBC's appalling #GeneralElection2019ً coverage. Complaint letter to Director Tony Hall here: docs.google.com/document/d/1T5… #BBCbias
@bbclaurak @Renegade_Inc @nw_nicholas @medialens @BBCNewsPR @TheMendozaWoman @LabourLeft @SouthHackneyLab @ta_mills @D_Raval A key point here is the #BBC are completely out of touch with their audience, partly because BBC complaints & monitoring is palmed off to outsourcing crooks #CAPITA. Send your GE2019 #BBCbias complaints direct to BBC management instead👇docs.google.com/document/d/1T5…
@bbclaurak @Renegade_Inc @nw_nicholas @medialens @BBCNewsPR @TheMendozaWoman @LabourLeft @SouthHackneyLab @ta_mills @D_Raval Here is Tony Benn's 5 tests for those in power. #BBC top brass answer public complaints with nothing but contempt, because they don't represent our interests, and are in no way accountable to us. #BBCbias cc @jimwaterson

Theres been lots of talk recently on the role of Hedge Funds profiting from shorting the £ with #NoDeal Brexit & channelling funds to PM @BorisJohnson bylinetimes.com/2019/09/11/bre…
@BorisJohnson While obviously of concern, the focus on no-deal £ short selling misses the bigger picture of financial deregulation, & the #Brexit shock being seen an opportunity by the #CityofLondon financial elite to slash "red tape" & lower taxes express.co.uk/news/politics/…
@BorisJohnson In response to Johnson's "let's spend £350m extra a week on the #NHS" claim, Dominic Cummings suggested Vote Leave would not have won without it news.sky.com/story/boris-jo… #Brexit

The #BBC's @Hoskea10 digs into #LOBOloan bank debt at Sheffield City Council (from 27mins) bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… #Sheffield had to pay a £12.3m "breakage loan" to the Royal Bank of Scotland #RBS to escape a £20m loan.
Clive Betts, Chair of @CommonsCLG and a Sheffield MP said: "that the bank #RBS actually gets a double benefit, once for fiddling the #LIBOR interest rate, a second time when their council #LOBOloan interest rates go up" bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… #localgov #fraud
#Newham resident @rachel_shares said: "this country has to stand up to the financial institutions that made hundreds of millions of pounds out of them over the last decade. Who has the most power in this situation, #Barclays and #RBS, or Newham Council?" bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

I've absolutely had it with this 24/7 #antisemitism news cycle, which is being weaponised by elements of the Labour party and the mainstream press to undermine the Labour party and its leadership... #TomWatson
If you haven't heard @MikeSegalov on anti-semitism yet, his interviews for the #BBC and Momentum are well worth a listen
As Segalov makes clear, its right to say there are legitimate concerns regarding anti-semitism both across society & within Labour. A fringe element within Labour & most political parties = anti semitic. Also fair to say #antisemitism is being weaponised

1. The following is a thread on Brexit, #bluepassports and 'fake news'
2. The whole black/ #bluepassport thing = so farcical. Did my best to avoid the subject, until PM's spin doctor @RobbieGibb started tweeting about ‘fake news’ harming democracy
3. It’s not just that @RobbieGibb is @TheresaMay’s spin doctor. It’s he’s an ex-#BBC (public interest) Producer, for @daily_politics who claims to serve democratic interests...
