Rachel Reeves held her ground, rejected Treasury orthodoxy, and forced through a significant change to the fiscal rules on investment. She gets no credit for this, but she damn well deserves some

Why is money made from wealth taxed less than money made from work?

Reeves should align Capital Gains Tax with Income Tax — it’s fair, and it could raise £14bn a year.

A simple fix to a rigged system.

The crisis for UK steel is exposing another – perhaps even bigger – crisis for the UK

Our news media seems incapable of even the most basic factchecking

YES energy for UK steelmakers is costly
NO it's not due to net-zero
YES it is due to GAS

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community:

The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.

I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

One public opinion mistake people make is assuming 'being tough on pensioner benefits' appeals to young people. It doesn't it appeals to young (and old) policy wonks. Most young people say i worry about my gran - and they're the most likely to say triple lock should be more generous.

It is hard for public institutions to change gear and communication policies. But consider this: UK and German public institutions that post information on twitter but not on bluesky are providing free benefits and competitive advantages to a platform that aims to put the far right in power.
