Thanks to @highpaycentre.bsky.social for showing how deep inequality runs. Is a CEO worth 1500 of the rest of us?
We've (naturally) run the numbers for unpaid carers too; Melrose's CEO package is over 13,600x what carers live on. Our priorities are upside down. Let’s change them.

The highest paid FTSE 100 CEO in 2025 took just over two hours to earn the same as the typical UK worker will all year.
This level of inequality is both morally unacceptable and damaging to society.
Can we really justify a top boss earning 1509 times the typical worker?

A wonderful piece on grassroots, local focused women-led solidarity action in Liverpool. Very inspiring. Worth a read @hannahwebster.bsky.social especially the march with the bin workers.
At the tail end of the 1960s, the Merseyside Women’s Liberation Movement was founded in a modest flat in the Liverpool 8 area. Its subsequent rich history offers a vital corrective to male-dominated accounts of regionalism.

Let's not perpetuate this language. Let's call it what it is. Hateful. Rooted in bigotry and the gateway drug that allowed austerity to destroy lives.
Many newspapers and politicians have been calling yesterday's fiscal statement a 'Budget for Benefits Street'. Here's three reasons why that is not accurate 🧵

More wise words from @carefull.bsky.social, this time on Paul Scholes' announcement that he's sidelining paid work to care for his autistic son. This is a dilemma that affects so many carers in our economy; article link in the comments
This week Paul Scholes shared his experiences of caring for his son alongside his professional role and it resonated with us. In our economy - that devalues and isolates care - the challenges he faced are shared by millions, but not everyone has the resources he has to fall back on.

Did you see our new report launched yesterday? Check out our thread below.
Whether you’re up for the school run, taking Mum to a doctors appointment or helping a neighbour with their shopping, we all want to care and be cared for.
But in the economy we have millions who care are struggling to survive, left to worry about how to care for someone and look after themselves..

My reflections on this positive event, it feels there's a real opportunity for us to shift the narrative on care. We're so keen to create a hopeful future full of abundance for all of us, it's good to see others feel the same.
Before I run off to eat lunch a few reflections on the @claremontcomms.bsky.social event today exploring how we create a society that values care. It's positive to see focus on the need to shift how we talk about care - in all it's forms to one that is universal. 🧵
