Begs the question why is anyone, especially anyone in govt, still using that toxic platform?😡
Next time someone asks what's the matter with Musk's Twitter, show them this:
An account in India, amplifying a billionaire from South Africa being cheered by an Irish passport holder (using an alias) to encourage civil unrest in the UK.

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.
That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

A work by British artist Banksy – created just after Kyiv region was de-occupied and later nearly stolen in Hostomel – is now kept in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
Next to it is an 11th-century graffiti caricature from the Dormition Cathedral.

This was a botched Budget by a Chancellor who’s diagnosed the disease but won’t administer the cure.
Despite promises to cut the cost of living and grow the economy, the Government still refuses to fix our trade relationship with Europe and repair the £90bn Brexit black hole.

Today's Budget should have been a turning point for the UK economy. Instead the Government avoided the single biggest thing we could do to turbocharge economic growth - fixing our broken relationship with Europe and closing the estimated £90 billion Brexit black hole.

👀 So while all eyes were on the budget, Ministers just slipped out their North Sea Future Plan. While it’s good to see them stick to manifesto pledge not to grant new licenses, it’s a shame to see approval of “tiebacks” to existing fields - unnecessary concession that undermines climate messages
