At the moment, sunrise is almost central archway in St Michael's tower on Glastonbury Tor. It casts a lovely shadow on the opposite wall.
The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

We need a Ministry of Taxation and an Office for Tax Responsibility https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/04/25/we-need-a-ministry-of-taxation-and-an-office-for-tax-responsibility/. We need proper government emphasis on the role of tax in society, with a ministry dedicated to tax and proper scrutiny of how the system worked. The result would be that the UK would, for the first time, have an accountable tax system.

Until one hour ago, staff at the British Museum were not on strike because they were not members of the PCS union.

In the last hour, most of them have now joined, and they have walked out.

Everybody, and I mean everybody, needs to admit that #JeremyCorbynWasRight about the Tories' plan to sell off the NHS. Just fucking admit it. It's the least you can do. You're all fucked now, anyway. Hope you're happy. No, Starmer's not going to save you.

Let this be a lesson for people in every country; the far-right is a much bigger threat to our fundamental democratic values than any other group, and can become a serious danger more quickly and easily than anyone expects.

The far-right's playbook remains exactly the same after 70 years.

It always begins with demonisation of vulnerable groups (refugees, ethnic minorities, LGBT+, working class, women) and it always ends with an attempt to destroy democracy, based on lies...

What’s everyone up to today? My husband’s an ICU consultant and is working in ICU, so I’m taking the kids to soft play and keeping my fingers crossed that we receive lots of orders for NHS ‘support coffee’. NHS staff are under so much pressure right now 💙🤞🌟

ALL NHS workers deserve & need a pay rise. NHS workers earn less than they did in 2010. There are 133,000 NHS vacancies due to poor pay & poor working conditions. The lack of staff is making it unsafe for patients.
RT if you agree that NHS staff need a pay rise.

Happy Christmas to every striking nurse, rail worker, ambulance driver, baggage handler, postal worker, highway worker and civil servant fighting for pay and conditions. Countless millions of us back you against this godawful government of ignorant crooks and vandals.
