Mark RubinUK University Strikes:
"Universities have built a business model that relies on people who care, continuing to do things for free, whilst also paying them 25% less than they did in 2009 and constantly attacking their pensions."

Martin Farrent@ChrisMayLA6 Similar, variously dire phenomena are seen all over the western world. It's also troubling that the existence of a large precariat keeps people just one or two rungs higher in a state of constant fear, leading to timidity at work and often to irrational voting decisions. They know they don't have the means to temper a fall. But they also kid themselves into a soothing sense of superiority. Hence, many think their interests are fundamentally different from those of the precariat.

Richard MurphyTrade unions are right to pursue their pay claims now https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/01/18/trade-unions-are-right-to-pursue-their-pay-claims-now/ With inflation beginning to fall unions are right to get their compensatory pay claims in now. If they go later the government and media will berate them even though falling inflation does not mean falling prices. Only deflation means that.
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?...
