Using @PMQs to mock a man that’s worth a million of you was a truly hideous thing to do, but it exposed your limited abilities to a wider audience, so it’s not all bad.
You have the charisma of an air fried fish fart, by the way.
I doubt your intern will show you this, but it still needs saying.
You expect US to take a £200 loan while we pay YOU up to £3,500 a year to heat your home?
How is that okay?

You see, Rishi, you just wrote off £4.3 billion worth of Covid fraud.
28 million households could’ve had that £4.3 billion towards their energy bills.
But you think instructing us to take out a £200 loan is the answer? Are you for real?

Your privilege doesn’t allow you to understand the difficulty in trying to balance keeping the house warm and feeding the family. Don’t pretend you understand.
How many of your (at least) 4 homes has a key meter, Chancellor?
This Christmas in Tory Britain 4.3 million children live in poverty.
That's nearly one third of all children, or 9 children in a class of 30.
49% of children living in lone-parent families are in poverty.
This was *before* the pandemic.
A little thread: 1/13
This Christmas in Tory Britain work does not provide a guaranteed route out of poverty.
75% of children growing up in poverty live in a household where at least one person works.
The cost of living crisis is biting harder than ever, Mr Johnson.

This Christmas in Tory Britain 485,000 children (in working households) have been pushed into poverty as a direct result of the government’s in-work benefit cuts.
The number of children growing up in poverty in working households has risen by 800,000 since 2010.
As many people are aware, there has been a lengthy campaign of abuse, harassment, bullying and smearing towards a number of left-leaning Twitter accounts.
Tolerance is a good virtue, but people can think of this as weakness.
You know who you are.

We’ve had good socialist friends bullied off Twitter by this group.
Some of the abuse has been as hideous as anything I have ever witnessed, and I’ve been on here throughout the Corbyn years.
We’ve lost good friends, who really should’ve known better.

A campaign was also launched to contact ‘mutuals’, demanding they unfollow a group of us. Thank you to the dozens of you that have privately got in touch.
The guilt-by-association thing was a big feature between 2015-19, and has also been the case for the last 9 months.
This is someone who decided to post David Baddiel’s ‘Jews Don’t Count’ book to me, under plain cover, anonymously. It took the police 2 months to track down the sender. Weird.
The police put my house on a fast response list because of him. Thanks James. 2/7
He told the police and his friends we still had communication when he sent the book.
This is a lie. It was a pathetic attempt at intimidation.
Starmer makes Labour the largest political party throughout Europe.
Membership fees and union money see Starmer’s Labour cash rich.
Starmer reversed the once-dire finances of the Labour Party in no time at all. 1/14
Along comes the 2017 election, and if it wasn’t for those pesky lefties intentionally sabotaging Labour’s chances, Starmer could’ve been Labour’s next Prime Minister.
Starmer owned Glasto though.
In November 2017 Starmer was EIGHT points ahead of the Tories!
2/14
The 180 lefty MPs weren’t happy. There was a chance of Starmer becoming PM, so the smears went into overdrive.
Some claimed Starmer was a racist, no proof was offered, merely opinion sold as fact by an anti-Starmer media.
A little thread: If you were around a few years ago you will remember how the establishment came for Jeremy Corbyn.
You’ll remember who, what, where, and why.
The same is happening again to Unite General Secretary candidate, Howard @BeckettUnite
And here’s why... 1/9
Beckett is an old school socialist. He was and still is a friend and supporter of @jeremycorbyn - they share many political ideologies, as do most of you reading this now.
Beckett has approached this contest as unashamedly socialist - this makes him an establishment target. 2/9
Most people know Unite are one of the Labour Party’s chief donors.
Labour massively benefited from a good relationship between Jeremy and outgoing secretary @LenMcCluskey - I even got a free ice cream out of it.
If Beckett wins, Starmer is in turmoil, and he knows it. 3/9
