New study: each "1°C increase in global temperature leads to a 12% decline in world GDP." Society loses more than $1,000 for every ton of CO2 emitted. Climate inaction is bankrupting us. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

❤️‍🩹 REPORT: The UK is the sick man of Europe. The IPPR Commission on Health & Prosperity has spent the last three years diagnosing the problem & developing the medicine. Today we launch the most ambitious blueprint for the nation's health since Beveridge. ippr.org/articles/our-g…

The pursuit of 'Fortress Europe' anti-immigration policies really stinks when you consider that many European nations owe a large part of their wealth to colonialism and the exploitation of those poorer nations that people are now fleeing in search of a better life. Max12:1

📢 ALL CHANGE: We've had a little re-brand now that we're not reporting pay ratios any more. We are now focusing on research and news stories relating to #inequality as well as related issues such as #poverty, the #ClimateCrisis, and political dysfunction. Thank you all ❤️✊.

Superyacht and private jet tax could raise £2bn a year. Richest 0.1 per cent in Britain emit 22 times more pollution from transport than low earners, and 12 times more than average. Polluter must pay. Also need wealth taxes, higher VAT on luxury goods. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Sadly, the "out-of-touch" approach to politics seems to have survived beyond the #Tories. When so many people are struggling day to day, it's staggering that our politicians don't get how this enrages people. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Inflation may not have risen, but millions of people are still struggling to afford the cost of living as the price of groceries, energy bills and rent are still much higher than they were a few years ago. 1/3

Feargal Sharkey Rubbish Sir Ed. Nationalisation without compensation and the firing of directors (and possible clawback) is the only thing they fear. They can dance around Ofwat and regulation all day long - as they've shown.

We now live in a country where John Major is to the left of both main parties. 😢
