“Imagine you had to design a society without knowing your own place in it... Would you design one where a tiny elite accumulates unimaginable wealth while a third of children grow up in poverty?”

"Around 1/10 of Britain’s land has been privatised since 1979. Now if councils want to buy land back they are charged extortionate prices shaped by speculation and scarcity, making it harder for them to afford to build social homes," said Hollie Wright. inews.co.uk/news/politics/la…

With a single change, this government will lift hundreds of thousands of kids out of poverty. Scrapping the two-child limit will lift was the best thing to come out of the last budget - and we should never go back.
The Chancellor has defended her decision to scrap the two-child limit on benefits, telling @GMB all children deserve a "fulfilling life" regardless of "however many brothers and sisters" they have 👏

California wants to tax billionaires with a 5% wealth tax and the CEO of Nvidia, who would have to pay $8 billion on his $163 billion fortune, says it like it is:
that's perfectly fine! 🧵

🐱 Happy Fat Cat Day!
We’re less than a week into January & FTSE CEOs have already earned what the average worker will in the year.
And if a 113:1 pay disparity feels outrageous, remember: the richest 10% pay less of their income in taxes (39%) than the poorest 10% (48%) too.

🗓️ One year since @BhamCityCouncil attempted to take £8k a year from its bin workers
🪧 One year of strikes
🐀 One year of rats & rubbish in the streets of Birmingham
🤯 One year of chaos & incompetence from council leaders & commissioners
⏰ Time for Birmingham Council to get in a room & Birmingham working again.

The media wants you to be angry about people on benefits potentially receiving more than the average full-time worker. (They don't anyway, because the calculations were based on something like a family of 6 with 4 severely disabled kids claiming every benefit available including ones that can't be claimed simultaneously). In reality, this is the real problem and it's proof that trickle down simply does not work. At least not for ordinary citizens.

HPC data shows the FTSE 100 CEO just over two days to earn the median UK worker’s full time annual salary. Average CEO pay is £4.4m — 113× the median worker’s salary of £39,039.
With long-term wage stagnation, how can this possibly be justified?

The billionaire age is a burning house.
The rest of us are trapped inside - and rebuilding anyway.
In this new piece in @mailandguardian, @JennyRicks looks at record billionaire wealth, the collapse of global rules, and why people power is the only way forward now. She also outlines the People's Declaration from the People's Summit late last year. mg.co.za/thought-leader/opin…

Let's ban the super-rich making super-huge donations; parliamentarians should be accountable to the electorate, not elites. I just signed an @equalitytrust petition to stop them: actionnetwork.org/petitions/… Please consider signing and sharing too

Why we need to tax the super rich more.
Their wealth is growing MUCH faster than everyone else's.
And they're using it to outbid you for real resources: housing, assets, healthcare, education and everything else of real value.
