Two cardboard boxes are cheaper than shoes and will last a child all week if they avoid playing football. #HowToriesThink
A bin bag full of leaves is cheaper than a mattress and will last all week if you don't move while sleeping. #HowToriesThink
Poor people could always wash in puddles. #HowToriesThink
Children whose parents can't afford a kite, should watch leaves fall from trees and pretend. #HowToriesThink
Poor people could live in a tent and pretend they're camping. #HowToriesThink
If it came to the crunch and there was only enough food for one, the Tory would eat and let his family starve. #HowToriesThink
Tories don't sleep at night; they worry about their investment portfolio while hanging from the rafters using little spurs which grow from their heels. 🦇 #HowToriesThink
Tories claimed pandemic schools must be kept open for the sake of children, but their own report said 300,000 more children would be shifted into poverty by the £20/week cut to Universal Credit in April 2021. #HowToriesThink They did it anyway. childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/wp-content/upl…
To deflect from vicious cost rises, Tories regurgitate the lie that they seek to level the playing field but hold us in such disdain they just copy from Wikipedia & publish that... #HowToriesThink They don't, they literally copy policy from Wikipedia... independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Thinking Tories will stop taking Russian millionaires' money misunderstands Tories, millionaires and money. #HowToriesThink
Relying on Tories to do the honourable thing & #SackBorisJohnson rather than continually hedge their bets based on which way the wind is blowing was always a non-starter. Their career is more important than morality. #HowToriesThink
We are the Magic Money Tree. Tories have always known this, it's time the rest of us realised it too... #HowToriesThink
There is not a danger that the Tories might drift into fascism, they are doing it deliberately, steering that course on purpose because they believe the times demand it. #HowToriesThink theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
We have a lot to learn from Tories - they always play the long game (looking centuries ahead!). #HowToriesThink

Example: seed the BBC newsroom with Tories, jettison all pretence at balance. Result: the Left joins demands we #DefundTheBBC.
What Tories really believe is that ‘human stock’ is sullied by ‘weakness,’ represented by failure to succeed on their narrow terms (financially independent, employer not employed, owner not owned). They'd advocate eugenics & euthanasia if they thought they could get away with it.
If you find a Tory choking, feed 'em sprouts. Only joking... Stand on their neck.
Poor families can eat out by visiting bins behind takeaways and licking packaging wrappers. #HowToriesThink
Homeless people would be happier if they just pretended they were having a night out. #HowToriesThink
If you can't afford a 50' flat screen TV or subscriptions, stare at the sky in a puddle and pretend. #HowToriesThink
I wonder what Currie's expression was as she added that emoticon... #HowToriesThink Image

Thread on the invasion of Ukraine.

To be clear: my view is that Russia should never have invaded Ukraine & should leave immediately. However, I also believe that the invasion was inevitable as a result of western aggression & that western propaganda will prolong conflict. 1/41
Throughout this tragic war, Vladimir Putin has been portrayed by our media as nothing more than a psychotic megalomaniac hell-bent on aggressive action, his concerns about NATO expansion being dismissed as the ravings of a madman. 2/41
This juvenile propaganda guarantees a continuation of hostilities & does nothing for the people of Ukraine.

A more thorough grasp of history is required to understand how it is that a new Cold War, replete with nuclear threat, once again throws its shadow across Europe. 3/41

Alok Sharma choking up at #Cop26 is peak hypocrisy.

These are just some of the times he voted against measures to prevent climate catastrophe when he was Tory Business Secretary. 1/20 #CopOut26

The Guardian's #PandoraPapers 'revelations' aren't revelations at all, they're part of how tax avoidance is enabled, i.e. creating an appearance of outrage to assuage genuine outrage, & tacitly suggest there'll be consequences. See thread for periodic airing of the same story...
Let’s focus on a fraction of the last 10 years of ‘reporting’ in The Guardian alone, which peppers its latest coverage of this long-known practice with adjectives like ‘exposes’ & ‘secret’ & ‘revelation’ – its none of that. They’ve known all along this is happening, as do we…
2011 – We’ll begin with a useful explanation of what a tax ‘haven’ actually is (the clue is in the word ‘haven’): theguardian.com/business/2011/…

We are a police state, with poverty as deliberate policy, we defend apartheid & arm genocidal regimes, we ignore international law, we break treaties, we host global corruption, our covid-19 response failed, we promote racist hostility: we are a failed state. #ToryBritain
The reason the world is in such a mess is because morally bereft states like Britain conspire with others to accumulate all the wealth & power. The brazen confidence of this evil empire means we don't even try to hide mechanisms like permanent seats on the UN Security Council.
All attempts to break this hegemony, to live outside this international model, are destroyed in infancy by armed conflict, economic armageddon & illegal coups, with alternative philosophies demonised so effectively they are despised by the very people they seek to emancipate.

So much of our culture is predatory. Boys & girls are bombarded daily by thousands of advertising images objectifying women's bodies on buses, bus stops, walls & newspapers. Online, porn depicts men (literally & routinely) foot pinning a woman's face, fetishising force & pain.
I teach at secondary school level & frequently overhear & deal with young boys (even the 'nice' ones) making rape jokes, disrespecting female peers, sexually pressurising & shaming their classmates. It's rife. It's also hardly surprising. They reflect cultural values around them.
Have a look at popular newspapers online editions today & you will see the way women are depicted smothering every page. Not just the images, look at the words...

Yesterday, I did just that with the UK's 2nd most popular newspaper, The Daily Mail (online edition).
