Let us tell you a story about a billionaire chancellor, who selflessly served the 1% while nobly leaving millions to suffer in poverty & despair 🧵
Rishi the plucky youngster went to one of the most expensive private schools in the country, Winchester College.

He and his wife recently donated £100,000 to this bastion of (in)equality 💰
After that, Sunak the Underdog studied at the little-known University of Oxford, reading the favourite ruling-class degree of Politics, Philosophy & Economics 🤓
Then this working-class hero was off to Stanford in the USA.

Here, he met his wife-to-be, Akshata Murthy, daughter of a billionaire.

Murty was recently revealed to be a non-dom, not paying British taxes on her international income. It's an everywoman story.
This was just the beginning for our intrepid protagonist.

Next up he went to work for the People's Bank over at @GoldmanSachs!

Later, he became partner at a hedge fund, adding to his obscene-yet-proletarian wealth.
Having amassed a fortune, Rishi then decided to have a go at running the country: it's what he was born to do!

Our brave, rich man got himself parachuted in as a Tory MP in Richmond, Yorkshire 🪂
After backing Brexit, Rishi rose through the ranks quickly to become Chancellor!

In this role he:
❌ cut universal credit and plunged millions into poverty
❌ was widely criticised for his climate failures
❌ consistently undermined public health over covid
After a lifetime of enriching himself and wrecking the lives of others, Sunak now wants to take his experience nationwide.

Why socialists should remain inside the Labour Party.

A thread 🧵
Labour's current leadership is doing all it can to marginalise the left.

That's why they removed the whip from @jeremycorbyn and have suspended members on spurious grounds.

Their faction want us gone because it is us that is stopping them turning the Party rightwards.
We can't let them win.

Changing the Labour Party into a vehicle for transformative social change was never a five year project. It was always going to take longer than that.

Jeremy's tenure as leader was only a step on our journey to win power and change the country.

It has been estimated that 60% of midwives are due to leave their profession next year.

@midwivesmarch are organising a protest outside parliament this Sunday to call for government investment into maternity services.

THIS IS A CRISIS 👇🏽
👶🏽 2021 has seen maternity services become critically unsafe for staff and users.

👶🏿 For every 30 newly qualified midwives, 29 are leaving.

👶🏼 Midwifery skills are being lost and the profession is being eroded.
👶🏾 Maternal death rates in the UK are disproportionate across ethnic groups- highlighting that we have a maternity system that better serves white women than women from Black and Asian ethnic communities.

It's been reported that some former party staff could drop their lawsuits against Labour if Jeremy Corbyn is expelled from Labour membership.

The Labour Right want to push the left out of the party. But Jeremy is staying in Labour and so is our movement. 1/6
We have to elect Grassroots Voice candidates to Labour's NEC who will defend Jeremy and our movement's place in the party and fight for the popular socialist policies we need to elect a Labour government in 2024 and the policies we need to change society for the better. 2/6
Here's what you can do to help:

1. If you've resigned from Labour, rejoin now so you can vote in the NEC elections, help us defend Jeremy and defend the left and build a party that can win power in 2024 and fight for the future our country needs. 3/6 join.labour.org.uk

Congratulations to @Keir_Starmer and @AngelaRayner on their election as leader and deputy. We look forward to working with you both to elect a Labour government that will carry out the kind of transformational policies our country needs. 1/8
We also want to thank @RLong_Bailey for running a principled, left wing campaign full of big ideas, building on the programme she has worked on for the last four years. 2/8
In four and a half years, Jeremy Corbyn and the movement around him has changed our party and country for the better, giving a voice to the hopes of millions who felt unrepresented in politics.  3/8

1/ THREAD - Who's behind the Brexit Party?

There's been a rise in support for the Brexit Party - it's proponents consider it to be an anti-establishment, bottom-up movement - steered in large part by the working class.

The evidence, however, indicates the opposite.

2/ FUNDING

Latest figures from the Electoral Commission show just after the Brexit party launched, it received £1m from right-wing millionaires and Tory donors - all of whom have off-shore interests.

(Cont.)
3/ FUNDING

Richard Smith, a millionaire business-owner, donated £100,000. Smith is noted to have funded the relocation of right-wing group, TaxPayers' Alliance.

Tax Payers Alliance are known for pushing deregulation and calling for tax cuts for the wealthy.
