How you live your life is the politics you have.

For the first time, Dispatches can reveal the secret millions the Royals are earning. For years they've kept the details of some of their wealth a secret but now we can reveal who is paying them and for what. Watch on @Channel4 on Saturday 2nd November at 8.10pm.

I'm seen some hysterical takes on this: "£20k could make the difference between a £2m farm being profitable or loss making". [£20k over ten years = IHT on £2m] Nope. If it's making less than £20k profit/year, it ain't worth £2m.

Awesome stuff from Louise Gluck

This is now ridiculous. UK news shows have been repeatedly citing the OBR’s figures on growth but no one has pointed out to viewers the same report lays bare the Catastrophic cost of Brexit! We face poor growth & a record tax burden. If you think UK news shows need to step up RT

Abusive bosses don't drive performance. They undermine it. 471 studies, 149k people, 36 countries: in aggressive workplaces, we do poorer work, collaborate less, and shirk more. Incivility breaks confidence and breeds resentment. The best way to get results is to show respect.

Internet laurel leaf to @juliansheasport who says “At last, the Telegraph finds some compassion for people in small boats.”

City Lights will publish "GAZA: The Poem Said Its Piece, Pocket Poets Series No 64," by Nasser Rabah in April 2025. bit.ly/3XRcVaH Translated from the Arabic by Ammiel Alcalay, Emna Zghal & Khalid Al-Hilli Foreword by @MosabAbuToha

Watch out for the deluge of right wing commentary that tax is at record highs etc etc . These charts are a welcome corrective

Today's Lancet climate and health report presents 56 indicators of health and climate change across FIVE domains. (Download the report for free from the Lancet website). Here is a thread of some of the key findings. #Lancetclimate24 (1)

The thing about "the UK’s tax burden is now at a record high", is that this is also true for almost all countries 📈

The North York Moors today - fire after fire as they set grouse moors alight, as if the climate crisis simply doesn’t exist.

@soniasodha Well, not really: those are changes that will to all intents and purposes be undetectable…

A painful chart - growth forecasts revised down from 2026 onwards 😖

Another @JustStop_Oil stunt, preventing ordinary people from getting to work.

@Graeber_social Funnily enough I had a go at this in fictional form: in the utopian world of Visco (habitatpress.com/visco/), set in an approximate present, they divvy up the work very much as David suggests. You might enjoy reading it!

@DaveThroup We need international help 🚨

Hi @elonmusk we know you are extremely busy, but something Crazy is Happening València Spain and we could use your help. #Dana is killing people and destroying everything. We need eyes and hands here to fix this please. Here’s a thread for you to get an idea 👀👇🏼 #dana #valencia

“Sex trade apologists claim that ‘sex work is work.’ Some of them say: “We just need a proper regulatory framework to make it safe,” while others insist: “All regulatory restrictions are harmful. Prostitution is not the problem; society is the problem. You are the problem! If we get rid of the regulations and stereotypes, it will become just like any other job. We, the survivors of prostitution who struggle against the sex trade, know the truth: prostitution is not a job. The core harms of the sex trade are not caused by the stereotypes, nor by the ‘working conditions’. Prostitution has three inherent characteristics that make its framing as ‘work’ fallacious.” Link to article in the next tweet.
