I bought 1273 vegetables yesterday. Okay it was a bag of frozen peas but I’m using #Tories mathematics.

3/5... dereliction of duty. PLEASE search #ForgottenLtd before making any more proclamations. We are ordinary, law-abiding, tax-payers working in a range of businesses/services from hairdressers to plumbers, architects to musicians. Many of us were forced into...

Can @Andrew_Adonis confirm what constitutes 'mostly' i.e. what percentage of the 2 million limited company directors he is calling 'tax dodgers', these people operate within the law of the land and employ circa 16 million people. It is a disgusting slur and you should apologise.

The ‘benefit’ to anyone lucky enough to to be making £30k per year is £9.17 a week. In return you get no sick pay, no holiday pay etc etc.

You are wrong on this Andrew. See @The_IoD Policy Unit explanations of small company directors taking base salary and using dividends to allow for ups and downs of trade.

Limited Company Directors across the UK are working hard this morning to furlough employees. Without fair and equal support for those directors, many of their employees won't have a job to come back to. Sign bit.ly/2XQcH6f Visit bit.ly/3bnHGKT #ForgottenLtd

Yep. Looks like it, right? Particularly when government contractors, including ltd PSCs are able to claim for up to £2500 monthly, apparently not by furloughing.

Think you need workers for that @RishiSunak. You know, them #newstarterfurlough types for that. You’ll be needing us then if we haven’t all starved to death. #jobrejectionscheme

Your divisive and flawed ‘support’ package will never be forgotten by Ltd Co Directors, especially at the next election. 2million votes!

For the 14th day in a row, the unanswered question (because nobody is asking) is ... Who actually is in charge of the UK's Pandemic Response right now ? Or is everybody avoiding having this chaos associated permanently with their name ?

It's becoming clear that the countries with the lowest death & infection rates adopted one of two approaches. They either introduced a swift & strict lockdown (eg Greece) or they launched a massive test & trace operation (eg South Korea). Boris Johnson went for neither option.

"Wait for a public inquiry", they keep telling us. Whereupon all this will be ancient history. There is only one effective and relevant time to hold the government to account: now.

I left my job after securing a new position to commence 1/04/20. As a parent I had to make sure I was doing the right thing for myself and my family. Now I have nothing coming in as I’m not ‘entitled’ to any financial help. @RishiSunak #newstarterjustice #jobrejectionscheme

Branson is a union buster. He’s paid no personal income tax to exchequer since moving to the Virgin Islands 14yrs ago. He sued the NHS. Virgin Healthcare paid 0 corporation tax while being handed £2bn worth of NHS & local authority deals. He deserves 0 sympathy. He’s a parasite.

Let me get this straight: the government, in the form of the Department of Health & Social Care, has created 128 fake 'NHS worker' accounts to propagate support for the government. Is this right or have I misunderstood?
Regarding those 128 fake #NHS Staff accounts posting for 'Herd Mentality' and support of the Govt that were set up by @DHSCgovuk or their marketing agency ... Posts were sent using Hootsuite, a mass-posting tool. Account registered to 1 person with 4 assigned contributors.

"NHS staff told they're not allowed to tweet about 'political issues' " Compare with my thread earlier ...
NHS staff told they're not allowed to tweet about 'political issues' like not having PPE indy100.com/article/nhs-ppe-…

Oh, this .. this is such a perfect tweet.
Pro Tip When a government department is accused of online trolling and automated unaccountable information operations, probably not the best thing to reply with online trolling and automated unaccountable information operations. #WhitehallAnalytica

For those out of the loop, start here : teapaw.org/jdpoc/status/125118588…
.@WestHertsNHS Can you confirm that '@nhs_susan' here is a creation of the DHSC Communications Team, and not in fact, one of your hardworking staff at the Starfish Ward ? Can you ask your staff member what she thinks of her image being used for automated #Tories Propaganda ?

Addendum : (again, sorry) The accounts have now mostly gone, not suspended by Twitter but deleted by the account holder(s) in one simultaneous mass cull a few days ago ... At the click of a button. Which itself, goes to prove the singular control of all the accounts.
