Giver and taker firms have donated £47m to political parties over 25 years. 💰 These same companies went on to score £60 BILLION in public contracts since 2015. This is everything people hate about politics. Ban firms from getting contracts with Governments they pay to elect.

MPs from different parties joined us on Tuesday as part of our drop-in session for the amendment to the 'Representation of the People Bill' proposed by @neilduncanjordan.bsky.social around 'breaking the link' between donors and contractors. Party donors should not receive government contracts.

What project underpins the various European right-wing groupings?

Forum 2029 continues in just over 2 weeks – we'll be taking a deep dive into the UK's new right wing forces 🔎 📆 Weds 3rd June, 18:30 📍Oxford House, Bethnal Green 📣 @liandersson.bsky.social / Alan Finlayson / Anki Deo (@hopenothate.org.uk) Sign-up: actionnetwork.org/events/forum...

Really excited about this new project, which we've been building for a year or so. After last week's results, we'll need all firepower we can get!

Finally, we have data to show vast majority of landlords earn supernormal returns: even with high interest rates, 63% outperform a 60:40 equity-gilt portfolio & 71% beat the broader real estate sector. Proud to have co-authored this with @autonomy-institute.bsky.social autonomy.work/portfolio/th...

The debate about rent controls is too often about negative impacts (which need to be taken seriously). But can landlords actually afford to bear more financial risk than they are bearing now? New research suggests yes - important reading for policymakers.

Our new report – The Property Premium – is out today, with @jrf-uk.bsky.social 🎙️ Key finding: being a private landlord has been the best investment option available to individuals in England over the past decade. Read the full report here: autonomy.work/portfolio/th...

This has started! Full house. Apologies for anyone trying to tune in to the livestream, there's been a technical issue. The session will be recorded, so you'll be able to find it on YouTube very soon.

"I’d urge the government to be open-minded to the benefits of a four-day week and empower councils to be innovative when it comes to workforce flexibility, freeing up cash that could be spent on services" – @mayaellismp.bsky.social on our latest 4DW report 👇 www.bigissue.com/news/employm...

My exclusive today in @bigissue.com

Important new analysis from the Autonomy team and Rob Calvert Jump here. The leading four-day week council (South Cambridgeshire) indicates exactly what kinds of savings a 4DW could bring if scaled up across the country: £1 billion.

🚨NEW REPORT: 'A four-day week for local government' Shorter working hours could save a typical council ~£500 per employee per year – and up to £1 billion per year across the UK if implemented nationally Exclusive in @bigissue.com 👇 www.bigissue.com/news/employm...
