Ofc my experiment here isn't perfect, but it underlines important point: broad voter permission structure is there for Net Zero, even the difficult bits. It's not a blank cheque. But we aren't the US. It's the job of politics to protect and bolster this consensus, and it can.

Rare for a BBC headline to need *two* footnotes. 1) The record they're refering to goes back just two decades (when ONS made adjustment to national earnings statistics). Go back just a couple more & pay growth was much faster than today. 2) Real wages aren't rising at all.

My university has a partnership with BAE Systems, one of Europe's largest arms manufacturers. Right now BAE is producing weapons with which to genocide Palestinians. Please sign this letter to let BAE and Lancaster University know this isn't acceptable. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

The distance between each bombed WCK & the other shows beyond any doubt how the IDF took their time to deliberately & surgically eliminate the entire crew. The 2nd car was bombed after it rescued the survivors of the 1st, & the 3rd after it rescued the survivors from the 2nd!

I hear there's a debate about a certain superpower's government-subsidized overcapacity that far outstrips domestic demand and that is flooding global markets and stoking conflict. Glad the issue is finally on the table.

Telegraph journalist Sophia Money-Coutts, of the Coutts dynasty, says young people have it too good. Paul Nowak isn't having it.

The full ten minutes of Faiza Shaheen on #newsnight. Faiza gave this interview only an hour after being told her candidacy had been blocked for liking a tweet. The people of Chingford and Woodford Green have been done a terrible disservice.

Unusually frank statement of a fundamental premise of mainstream political economy: here is no actual problem with public debt, but we have to invent one "to get people to face up to the hard decisions" npr.org/2024/06/14/nx-…

We hope this research is useful to groups involved in advertising, local authorities, and govt depts looking at options. Happy to discuss & present our findings. Huge thanks to Jake Ainscough the Jury members & poll participants, our Advisory Group, & everyone who helped.

🚨NEW: In our first contributor essay, advait unpacks the obsession with 'mobilising private capital.’ "Policymakers refuse to recognise that their bias toward austerity makes their goal of mobilising private capital much harder to achieve.’ ⬇️ break-down.org/post/downward-…

Lancaster University says it is committed to creating ‘positive change’ in the world yet through its partnership with BAE Systems it is complicit in genocide. When our students protest the hypocrisy of this, management takes punitive measures. Shameful. scan.lancastersu.co.uk/2024/06/27/int…
