Labour taxing businesses and increasing their costs to the hilt. But don’t worry! Let Matt shine a light on your favourite small business. FFS! #rdguk 🤡🥀

No reply from John Ennis (Labour) for 1119 days. No reply from Jan Gavin (Labour) in months. No reply from Olivia Bailey (Labour) since April. No response from Mark Keeping (Labour) But yeah, Labour calling out the Greens for not replying. #rdguk 🤡🥀

Replies off, obviously, because who wants to be told that this is a direct consequence of the policies they championed?
I am deeply concerned that Poundland jobs are at risk here in constituency of #PaisleyRenfrewshireNorth in #Braehead with many constituents impacted. Poundland has filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators, putting 11,000 jobs at risk across more than 600 stores and distribution centres across the UK. I welcome PM Andy Burham's support for Poundland workers & like him, I question why the company's owners chose not to accept a viable solvent offer which @UsdawUnion say could have prevented this outcome. This situation was entirely predictable by @Poundland according to the Shop Workers Trade Union who have been monitoring the situation closely for some time. I have reached out to parliamentary colleagues to explore what options are available to assist and I hope to meet with USDAW trade union who represent Poundland workers to discuss the local issues in more detail.

Where is the outrage from the media and the City? Why is Burnham not being hounded out of office with ‘lettuce’ comparisons?

Still says she's a Labour Councillor on her Facebook page. Is this allowed @CllrLizTerry ?
“Cllr” Ellie Emberson? I thought she was voted out at the last local elections? #rdguk 🤡🥀

Tom Kerridge bemoaning Labour again. He really was naive enough to believe they'd be any good. 🤡🥀

Oh good, yet more bus lanes. Like those hardly used ones on the A33 or the disastrous one on London Road. Labour are clueless. #rdguk 🤡🥀

The vibrant areas full of the bestest most vibrant people who set Reading aside from other successful towns and cities like to do their bit for the environment and not travel to the tip. Dump it where you like. #rdguk 🤡🥀

Angela Rayner is to appoint an “Islamophobia” adviser. They'll enforce her “Islamophobia” definition, which Labour allowed extremists to influence. Ministers claimed the evidence was deleted, but I proved this was a lie. It's still kept secret. Rayner must end the cover up.

Another "vas amissum" (missed bin) collection under Labour. This time, food waste. After nearly 17 years of Labour they still can't get bin collections right. #rdguk 🤡🥀

Another missed bin collection by our Labour run council. This time food waste. Should have been collected yesterday. Still there now. Nothing ever changes under Labour. #rdguk 🤡🥀
