Wildly, this appears to be broadly true. There's a very small tail of extreme high earners, but there's a crisis of wage compression killing productivity and ambition. Not sure how you sell "lower/freeze min wage, abolish tax cliffs for higher earners" to an electorate, though.

The UK has a far flatter income distribution than the Communist Soviet Union. The UK take home minimum wage for working a full time job (40-hours) is now £22,555. At £100k salary, the take home is £68,558. That is a net income ratio of 3.04:1 We are now at the point where the wage compression and taxes in the UK means that the difference between minimum wage and a top 5% salary is a net income difference of only ~3x. In the USSR using the same comparison, this figure never fell below 5:1 It's actually even worse in reality because the person earning £100k in the UK often has student loans. Britain is nominally capitalist but functionally communist. China is nominally communist but functionally capitalist. Funny how that works.

@biz_socks It requires tackling the crime and homelessness which seems politically impossible in LA

Oh my @British_Airways - once again at Gran Canaria airport your staff seem incapable of ensuring there actually is a Club Europe queue and a Euro Traveller queue.

No, it started because a court somehow concluded that lunch ladies should be paid the same as bin men. The council wanted to cut the pay of the bin men.

@rhysrmann There was an article in the Times last week where they explained how the National Theatre is increasingly relying on rich American donors to keep it afloat because of cuts to arts funding and increase in expenses

£26,417 per year. 37 hours per week. £13.73 per hour. In central London. 10% BELOW London’s minimum living wage. Just let Russia hack in already. This is povvo wage.

We have 9 people working at the firm. I remember when I didn’t think I could pay my mortgage and looked at job postings for in-house gigs. Crazy.

Muslim hate crimes twice as likely to be prosecuted as those against Jews - this disparity needs to be explained as a matter of urgency thetimes.com/article/169b92…

One of my clients had a relative murdered at the music festival on October 7. He flew to Israel for the funeral and took work calls from a bomb shelter whilst Hamas fired missiles at Israel. It would’ve never occurred to him to behave in this way

@yuanyi_z The sad thing about life peers if they’re all Barons. Seeing Duke of X or Marquess of Y in Hansard just looks cooler

The hereditary peers provided a very useful foil for the House of Lords's life peers. Once the dukes and earls are gone, people are going to wonder what the likes of Ann Limb and Matthew Doyle have done to deserve seats in the upper house.

This is complete bullshit Zohran Mamdani is the Mayor of New York City, including for its roughly 1 million Jewish residents. Reports that his wife liked posts suggesting October 7 was a “mass rape hoax” and promoting “from the river to the sea” are deeply disturbing. This isn’t some distant figure. She is someone who sleeps in his bed every night and whom he routinely praises in speeches. I spent time with survivors of October 7 and heard firsthand the stories of murder, sexual assault, torture, and starvation. There was nothing fictional about those atrocities.
New York Post@nypost

Mayor Zohran Mamdani claimed his wife Rama Duwaji isn’t a public figure after facing uproar for her liking social media posts celebrating Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack. trib.al/b6uVcUj

I was using ChatGPT for legal advice and it decided to completely hallucinate some preposterous nonsense about how growing wheat to use on my own farm somehow constitutes interstate commerce

I am loathe to defend Dubai Enjoyers™️ but it's interesting how evacuating Afghans, and accommodating them at great cost, is "the right thing to do" but evacuating brits who just want to pay less tax is not.
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK

🚨 WATCH: Ed Davey says British tax exiles in Dubai should now be made to pay tax in the UK "As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our Armed Forces just like the rest of us do"
