It’s truly amazing and unique that the Tories have been more generous than Labour. Sunak’s package for the #CostOfLivingCrisis is bigger and wider than Labour’s proposal. For every Labour leader in my memory, Foot, Kinnock, Smith, Blair, Brown, Miliband and Corbyn

2/ the opposite was true. Labour’s financial proposals have been fairer, wider and more generous than Tory proposals. For the first time under Starmer, Labour is behind the Tories on this. For the first time, Labour cannot legitimately say “you haven’t done enough,
3/ we would have done more and better.” Claiming credit for the idea of a windfall tax by Labour pales beneath the breadth of the Tory package. Starmer’s trying to out Tory the Tories strategy has been a failure from the beginning. The ‘real’ Tories despite all their

In dealing with the highest level of inflation since 1982, many comments on unions being stronger to protect their members before the Tories took their rights away. There were other big differences (see Thread). Any analysis of the current crisis has to include all of these.
1/ Housing: most renters were in council homes (effectively rent control). Right to buy introduced by the Tories effectively destroyed council housing and boosted the private rental sector. There is no control on rents.

2/ Benefits were adjusted by the RPI measure of inflation not the current CPI one. CPI excludes housing cots and is therefore almost always lower. For instance in April '22, CPI was 9% but RPI was 11%. The Tories made the switch from RPI to CPI. Source: researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN06…

In 2017, abusive comments made by a Labour MP 13 years BEFORE he became an MP in 17 were a continuous rolling story on the TV news channels as he was seen a "Corbyn supporter". Labour suspended him quickly. Compare that to the media and Labour NON reaction to the Coyle's racism.
2/ Details on the O'Mara abusive social media posts and the reaction to them

3/ Details of Coyle\s racist outburst, still to be seen on the BBC or Sky

Top tip for Labour folk: people in glass houses shouldn’t throw bricks

A little thread on Labour’s tolerance of Islamophobes since Starmer became leader

1) Remember that report on #Islamophobia in Labour?
2) Donations from an islamophobe
3) Remember the Batley and aspen by-election? When Labour Muslims urge Keir Starmer to take ‘urgent action’ over party official’s ‘vile Islamophobia’?

1/ The mainstream media are letting the Tories off with their #Budget21 coverage. Their accepting the Tory narrative and not doing adequate fact checking.
So, this is an ongoing Thread with fact checking on the Budget
(items in no particular order)
2/ The outlook isn’t “optimistic” the way Sunak claims - The UK is forecast to suffer the worst economic damage from Covid-19 of any G7 country.
3/ Borrowing - this stuff about balancing the books is nonsense, borrowing as practically equalled GDP, ie the money the whole economy makes since 1700!

1/ With the #COP26 conference, there'll be many good words and statements of intent from political leaders on the #ClimateCrisis The thing is there's what they do and what they say.
This is an ongoing Thread logging the hypocrisy of the UK leaders. Establishment media won't be!
2/ Prince Charles - standing in for the Queen, will be a centre of attention. His own *conservation* charity accepted money from the world's biggest oil company, the Saudi company, Aramco.
3/ Prince Charles (cont.) - the Prince's own lifestyle is hardly a model for being climate friendly. @RepublicStaff have posted billboards in Glasgow to spotlight his record.
