If you earned £100,000 per year (and spent none of it), it would still take you *10 million years* to earn the £1 trillion that Musk is soon going to be worth. That's the difference between being "well off" and being super-rich — and that's why we need a #SuperWealthTax

Brexit Racism Russian bribes Christofascist Trump links Clacton house purchase Multiple jobs Tice’s tax The Epstein files The ruinous policies The inept councils The wild corruption… For love of god. When will Farage be held to account? Once he’s been red-carpeted into No.10 and it’s far too late?

So we're all just letting Farage get away with the £5 million "gift" huh.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Great #dyslexiafriendly #ya read for struggling readers about a boy who fights Death when his mum is sick, but at what cost? #BookReview: #TheDayDeathDied by Tanya Landman & Cinthya Alvarez @tanyalandman.bsky.social @cinthyaalvarez.bsky.social @barringtonstoke.bsky.social buff.ly/fQBXEXU

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

As we mark the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, we honour those who endured unimaginable suffering. Our city’s streets must tell the full story of our history so that we can all learn from it.

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Excellent thread.

The threat to our society is not from asylum seekers in small boats. It’s from politicians and media cynically whipping up fear and prejudice, labelling them all as criminals, inciting hatred against people for where and what they’ve fled from. It must stop. For all our sakes. It’s deeply sinister.

To the cartoonist who drew this, well done.

Jesus Christ. When was the last time you heard anyone say something like this?

NEW: Andrew Norfolk broke the grooming gang story, 15 years ago. His exclusive interview on today’s News Agents is deeply powerful, not least for his anger about those political figures now exploiting it and the victims for their own purposes. Listen 👇 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...
