Esther McVey and her husband MP Philip Davies both claimed £1,625 a month each in rent for Flats less than a mile apart this cost you over £250,000 in total. Then Philip Davies bet £8,000 on losing his own election, which he claimed. Surely that should be illegal?

When a community asset like a pub, community centre or music venue is put up for sale, it should be sold to the community for a fair price instead of being sold-off to developers. Agree? Call for a Community Right to Buy 👇 party.coop/campaign/local-ow…

Lord Michael Ashcroft remained a non-dom while he was in the House of Lords and living in the UK, he paid his taxes in Belize, except he didn't because it is a Tax Haven. He dodged up to £150m in tax, and then used millions of pounds of that to fund the Conservatives A disgrace

Everything they are doing to the NHS they did to British Rail. Underfunded it, exhausted the service, got the public angry, and then said privatisation is the solution.

#Breathtaking Tory dodgy PPE deals for Tory donors and associates 🔹Govt paid 80% more per unit of PPE on average through their VIP Lane 🔹More than a quarter of the VIP LANE PPE supplied was not fit for purpose 🔹£3,700 MILLION just on VIP PPE. 🔹Dodgy Testing deals cost billions more😡
"It costs money to buy PPE & rather than act on the recommendations of [the pandemic] exercise, the govt clearly decided NHS staff were not worth spending that money on. We were left unprotected." Thank you, @PMGallagher1 & @theipaper. #BREATHTAKING inews.co.uk/news/health/rach…

#Breathtaking Michael Gove & PPE contracts to 🔹Fashion firm Meller Designs with no PPE experience got bumper profits as a supplier, up from £144,000 in one year to a sudden £13 million 🔹Tory donor David Meller - Contracts worth £164 million were awarded without competition 🔹£9m of the PPE was UNUSABLE 🔹After a referral from Michael Gove. Meller had backed Gove's failed leadership bid in 2016 🔹Today it's been found Gove has failed to declare hospitality from David Meller I'm working with @GoodLawProject on the VIP Files bringing new information about these appalling deals

ITV drama series V soon will show what it was like inside NHS in the first lockdown. BREATHTAKING will do for the Tories. It's as powerful as #MrBatesVsThePostOffice I'm going to the first showing with Dr Rachel Clarke whose diaries the show is based on. Follow @doctor_oxford 💙
Proud to share the key art image for @ITV's BREATHTAKING. @JoFroggatt captures so hauntingly the exhaustion, grit & shellshocked face that so many NHS staff wore. Transmission dates to be announced next week. #NHS 💙
