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?...
Pam CGood thread from Natacha Kennedy.
The cost of special educational needs could sink local authorities – but there’s no need for that https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/07/25/the-cost-of-special-educational-needs-could-sink-local-authorities-but-theres-no-need-for-that/ The cost of meeting the needs of children with special educational needs and disabilities is growing and is apparently not in government budgets from 2026 onwards because it has been assumed that local councils in England will meet them from thereon. But many of them will go bust, so big is the cost. So, we need to tax wealth.

As antifascists, we need to develop a means of intergenerational continuity and draw on other traditions of resistance to expand both our means and our ambitions."

Jeff AtwoodI love how these casually genderswapped images illustrate how weird things are, and hint at how we could do better
Max KennerlyLOL this is not how you deal with "data scraping," this is how you deal with a catastrophic loss of system capacity.
You limit data scraping by blocking things a human user couldn't do, like access a thousand posts a minute. This is aimed directly at reducing normal activity across the whole system.
"The movement has exhibited remarkable resilience...Despite the shadow of repression, the movement is thriving."
