For anyone campaigning on the UC & PIP Bill (or just trying to work out what's happening with it), I've pulled together a quick visualisation of the amendments which MPs *might* have a chance to vote on this Wednesday. public.flourish.studio/visualisation/…

Martin Wolf of the FT acknowledges that Thatcherism is a failure, and must be replaced. The Prime Minister insists that the economic system is fundamentally sound. Something will have to give in the UK elite. ft.com/content/8a4995…

What underlies most of this isnt a problem of competence or lack of, it's that nations are now governed by market confidence, not elected politicians. We live in an era where no government of the west can create serious new taxation without being evicted from office and can't

Fantastic example of how casual prejudice towards the white working class of Britain is acceptable in a way it simply wouldn't be for other groups. Imagine a famous head teacher said this but swap the ethnicity of the people they are talking about; you get a career ending quote.

We promised to call time on scandals like P&O and with this amendment to our Employment Rights Bill we are removing any doubt. These new changes will stop employees being replaced by others doing essentially the same job under worse conditions. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

It is absolutely daft. Sectarian Muslim voters are going to be covered by the new Corbyn party not the greens. This will be to the massive detriment of left politics as a whole as social democracy can't survive an explicitly racialised and tribal sub polity, we have enough

I do indeed live in a city!

New YouGov polling shows 75% are in favour of a 2% tax on wealth above £10 million.

I come from a city!

We have to bring in this wealth tax in order to shatter the green party pretence that we can maintain the state as it is without raising tax on everyone.

Exactly, and given it won't plug the current funding hole even if it works exceptionally well, we need to demonstrate that the middle class illusion that we can have a state paid for by Other People is a useful political contrivance devised by real socialism's enemies.

The idea that we can raise 1.2bn from taxing private jets is just patently absurd isn't it? There are around 90,000 private jet flights in the UK every year. This would mean a tax revenue of around 13,000 per flight. Apparently the figure comes from Oxfam. They're not sending
