Always a sign of a job well done when you start to hear the framings and language you dreamed up, repeated back to you!!

We recently worked with @cmmonwealth.bsky.social to frame a story about the state of the UK in a way that gives people an alternative to the explanations on offer from the far right. The result? A campaign that links people's everyday frustrations to a specific cause: Privatisation

Local journalism is hollowing out. So we have built an automated data wire to feed it. WageSight. 20 stories/mo, regular media engagement with journalists responses: no funding, just code + persistence. 🎥 See what landed:

Maybe Nigel Farage has a point? There is an elite that dominates the discourse about what is politically possible in the UK. www.linkedin.com/pulse/public...

The BBC, political journalism, commentariat and think tank world remain gatekept by the public school educated middle classes. New LinkedIn newsletter. www.linkedin.com/pulse/public...

How do we make news stickier in the AI era? 📰🤖 At WageSight we’re testing a salary checker widget alongside local pay stories — turning attention into engagement + sponsorship revenue. 👇 Demo and link below 57.128.224.76:8080

We've launched a data driven news service: WageSight It harvests stats about wages & employment across the UK & distributes newswire style stories to local media outlets. We can now tell a hyper-local news story about employment in 200+ towns & cities in the UK. www.linkedin.com/pulse/using-...

The costs of getting to net zero are substantially less than first thought. Undermining the argument of those who claim getting to net zero is unaffordable. Bonus: here's an illustration of what actually drove the cost of living crisis in 2022 (Clue - it wasn't the costs of net zero)

Great to see a mention of some analysis by WageSight our @campaignsalience.bsky.social employment and pay app in today's Northern Agenda edition by @robparsonsna.bsky.social newsletters.e.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/2n-3WT9WgtOj...

The monthly salary of someone in the top 1% of earners stood at £18,326 in April 2025. Up more than £4k since the start of the pandemic. By contrast, someone on the median UK wage stood at £2,428, up £642 per month. 1/

Ultra Wealthy Brits support a wealth tax, it's as simple as that.

A neat breakdown of the cash that could be raised if a wealth tax was applied to some of the people listed on the Sunday Times Rich List. Nice work by the new campaign group @sharethewealthuk.bsky.social sharethewealth.org.uk

The cost of living crisis seems to have faded from view. Yet UK inflation stands at 3.5%. And food price inflation continues to outpace the overall inflation rate. We devised a quick animation that plugs into official ONS inflation data, to put the ongoing cost of living crisis into perspective.

The primary objective of the comms work we do is: to make trouble for the powerful. Last weekend we worked with the Daily Express on a story about "Reform curious" constituencies most at risk of flooding due to climate change. Floods can hit all of us, regardless of our political values 1/

Reform are well known climate change deniers. So it's timely we were able to support @roundourwayuk.bsky.social and @globalwitness.org new research this morning, showing 8 out of 10 of the most flood prone constituencies in the UK are on track to be Reform seats. www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

IES and abrdn Financial Fairness Trust launched the final report for the Commission on the Future of Employment Support in Westminster today and Alison McGovern delivered the keynote speech.

Interesting round up of the changing debate around fiscal issues in the UK. www.neweconomybrief.net/the-digest/a...

This is a staggering finding @employmentstudies.bsky.social We need change. Starting with our political and media culture that remains locked in a time warp of performative cruelty to those who are out of work. www.theguardian.com/politics/202....

Prescient.

Reshoring & protectionism could run into a similar fallacy as free trade & globalization. Then the idea was as long as the pie grows everyone is better off. Now it’s as long as the *national* pie grows everyone is better off. What if this isn’t the case? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Most U.S. states have price gouging laws reflecting experiences with natural disasters. Emergencies can lead to temporary monopolies & sharp price increases w/o supply adjustments. @wiwobrz.bsky.social My take on Harris’ anti-price gouging initiative for German readers. www.wiwo.de/my/politik/k...

Ex-Bank of England Governor, Andy Haldane, is bang on the money here. The problem with Labour's political comms approach thus far is that they can only bring themselves to promise misery. 1/ news.sky.com/story/chance...

This feels... panicky? No-one expected the Daily Telegraph to take a Labour Party victory well, did they? That said, Labour's line that they "inherited a terrible hand" is already sounding tired. They're going to need a less earnest political message. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What a summer! We won 170 news stories for clients in July and August alone! From consumer-facing tabloid hits in the Sun and the Mail, to elite agenda setting outlets like the FT. We start conversations, we rattle cages, we put issues on the agendas of the powerful. www.campaignsalience.co.uk
