Just. So. Cool. Had to drop everything to read this when I saw the title and am already loving madeline lane-mckinley 's piece on anti-work time and serialised tv. Will be reading the rest of the cluster immediately.

📊 Our latest #UKPoverty report launched this morning. 🔍 14.4 million people were living in poverty in 2021/22 – and our analysis shows that millions of people would need thousands of pounds just to escape poverty. (1/5)

I loved speaking to Julia about her research for this episode. Thinking about how dance can contribute to challenging concepts of value and productivity in late-capitalist work culture - right up my alley, and hopefully yours! 🎧 Give us a listen on Spotify

Such an important piece of research highlighting, among other significant issues with UC, the relationship between the UK welfare system and the societal devaluation of women's unpaid care work. A must-read.

Tonight, Starmer accused Sunak of being “the most liberal prime minister we’ve ever had on immigration", showing British politics was already well on its way to Farage-ification well before Nigel went to Clacton.

Call out those who scapegoat & spread suspicion of Muslims, migrants, refugees & asylum seekers, & legitimise, mainstream & embolden the far right, their racism, grievances & narratives. Seeing only the extreme & exceptionalising it is an obstacle to understanding&stopping this.
