The #OBR report contains some very ugly charts. These for example show just how brutal the terms of trade shock is for households.

Hello UK! I’m tired but excited to get ready for my London stage debut in Allegiance, which is based on my real life story and experience in U.S. internment camps during World War II. #NeverForget

"Hunt's tax rises are the only way to fix the economy."

Mike Pence is an example of toxic Christianity. We should have freedom of religion, yes, but we must also ensure freedom *from* religion. Your religious freedoms don’t give you the right to deny freedoms or civic participation to others. Period.

I just dipped into Twitter to read the fantastic news that the Snowdonia National Park Authority has voted to use the original Welsh names Yr Wyddfa #YrWyddfa and #Eryri rather than the imposed English #Snowdon and #Snowdonia. It's a massive win for reclaiming our #Welsh cultural heritage. I honestly can't believe the amount of hatred, abuse and racism in the Twitter comments from English people. I've no idea why they are so angry that another country wants to use its own language. #Cymraeg 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

In reality, while all G7 countries have been hit by these, only the UK economy remains smaller than before the pandemic.

🤔 Did you notice how, once it was exposed as hollow, talk of a 'fiscal black hole' disappeared?

😔 This country can't take another round of austerity

💪🏽 We need to tax the super rich and the polluters and pay public service workers to match inflation
