To tackle poverty, we must alter the economic system that produces it. We need to change how wealth is produced, who it is produced for and give all scots a genuine stake in it - . More in @povertyalliance Anti Poverty Review

Food for thought and grist to the Finance Pillar of the campaign.

It's a question of priorities.
Public money IS there to invest in a sustainable future and crowd in private capital.

When right wing and reactionary policy folks prevaricate and dwell around 'puzzles' and 'no 'easy solutions' to the crises of these times they are backed by wealth and power- who don't want to change.

It is now obvious that Netanyahu's objective is his own political survival by means of extending the Gaza massacre ad infinitum. Any gvt that refuses to see this, and thus demand a UN Peace Keeping & Humanitarian Relief Operation in Gaza, is complicit. theguardian.com/world/2023/dec…

This is so true & relevant for me in 2023 👇🏼This time last year I made a new year resolution to be courageous, stand up & call out toxic behaviour. In the process I’ve met some amazing new friends & lost a few fake ones along the way. I’ve bloody loved it! Don’t accept toxicity.

The largest intact Roman mosaic floor discovered in Turkey, dating back to the sixth century, is a remarkable find. The mosaic, found in Antakya, covers an impressive 1200 square meters and features unique geometric shapes and non-repeating figures, likely designed for a public…

It’s true Britain’s North Sea resources were squandered. It’s absolutely not the case that oil was extracted ‘all tax free’ though. Oil revenues peaked at nearing 10% of British tax earnings in the mid 1980s. They paid for Thatcher’s dole queues and tax cuts for the rich.

COP out: Wrapping up a useless climate summit that should fool nobody

The problem is capitalism and the solution is looking a lot more like revolution

“There is… unquestionable public interest in who really owns land and property” & “as much of that information as possible should be public by default”

Great to hear Michael Gove say this in new consultation on revealing who owns land held in trusts: gov.uk/government/con…

Very saddened to hear of the death of Alistair Mackie. He led the workers cooperative at the Scottish Daily News and took on the crook Robert Maxwell. A genuine working class intellectual and socialist I learned so much from him - he was a man of vision, principle and integrity

Looting on the way out. The Tories have no solutions, just wrecking and grabbing more for their rich base as the ship sinks.

As happened with Johnson, some parts of the English media/plutocracy will not be satisfied until Farage gets political power. There was relentless promotion of Johnson despite obvious unsuitability and now same thing is happening.

Tepid tinkering round edges. Won't be enough. Simple issue is that we are not building enough houses because of land scarcity and land prices. To curb land banking and moderate prices, should be considered. Alongside more state subsidy for social housing.

Mainstream politicians and commentators must start talking about wealth and the plutocrats. They define, make and run our fossil fuelled and consumption based economy. To address climate catastrophe plutocrats must be made accountable to us, Governments and the planet.

Lord Mandelson has this image of Machievellian genius. However, Irish state papers show Lord Mandelson, in 'strange and detached mood', embarrassing folks, making gaffes and creating 'awkward silences'- then getting bailed out by Prince Andrew!
