The state of the world at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if the #ToryDictatorship got back in on Thursday.
Please, if you're a voter in the UK, please VOTE.

Save NHS dentistry
I’m Tom Thayer, a hospital consultant. I treat patients with horrifying mouth injuries after trying to pull their own teeth out
Everyone who needs an NHS dentist should be able to get an appointment.
Underfunded, there are now fewer #NHS #dentists available.
A recent survey found 9 out of 10 practices are no longer taking on new NHS patients

Pledge to vote tactically
‘I will vote tactically at the coming general election’
Tactical voting can get the Tories out – that’s why we’re building up support ready for the 2024 general election.
Take the tactical vote pledge and we’ll keep you updated as we build the biggest tactical voting campaign in British history.

Any time! I used it often when tweeting about the #ToryDictatorship
New political funding rules sneak in
The Tory govt passed a statutory instrument that increases amount of money an individual can donate to a party without declaring who donated it, from £7,500 to £11,180
The same statutory law increased election spending cap by 80%, from £19.5m to £35m - the amount party HQs can spend.

UK Survey - House of Lords
Share your thoughts on how you feel about the unelected House of Lords.
This is a quick, multi choice survey. Less they 30 seconds to complete.
Former PM David Cameron’s appointment as Foreign Secretary has triggered fresh calls to abolish the House of Lords
There is no requirement for cabinet ministers to be a MP
It is rare senior offices of state are held by unelected politicians
#Lobbyist Cameron has been handed a seat in the Lords for life to take up the role
This joins a string of outrages about the urgent need to ditch the Lords
@luckytran
Yep, and people will still vote for the #ToryDictatorship
@therightarticle
Like the last decade, right?
Why are they even bothering printing this crap?
#ToryDictatorship
This king’s speech will deliver final blows from a #Tory party facing oblivion
Little that is announced will even touch the edges of what troubles everyone most: cost of living, rising NHS waiting lists, climate crisis, declining public services, deepening hardship, regional inequality
Watch out for announcements that ignore all that matters, or make things worse
Next year #UK will tax state pensions rather than increase taxes on the wealthy
Pensioners will not only have a tax bill, they will have to put money aside to pay it, & will have to complete a self assessment tax return, with all the associated risk of serious penalties attached to that process.
This will result in £50 billion of extra tax paid
@dangillmor
I've called it a #ToryDictatorship for years (TBF, mostly when I was on the hellsite, but I can certainly start using it here).
Tory Party Embraces Trumpism
The party that made a virtue of embracing modern diverse Britain & championing the right to gay marriage, now pursues divisive & conspiratorial politics that deliberately mimics worst aspects of US radical right
With Suella Braverman, insisting that #Tories has previously been “far too squeamish about being smeared as #racist”
Neither BBC News nor any other British broadcast media gave any coverage of the HUGE Rejoin EU demonstration in London yesterday. This is a combination of state editorial control (BBC bosses are Tory party donors), media mogul control (more Tory party donors) and news being an advertising business, not a public service.
Ironically we have to leave it to France state news channel to report on it.
Fascism in the UK. Today.
