📢 THANK YOU for your support this year ♥️ Below is a reminder of the gross #inequality that ruins the UK every day. Figures are based on the High Pay Centre’s findings that, in 2024/25, the AVERAGE FTSE 100 CEO gouged a “salary” of £4,580,000. Divide by 365 and you get a daily pay out of £12,548 🤮🤮🤮

A vertical bar graph showing FTSE 100 CEOs grabbing £150,576 almost 4 times the average annual wage (£39,039) over the 12 Days of Christmas.

Tax and benefit measures announced this Parliament so far benefit children the most.

This is due to the abolition of the two-child limit, the expansion of Free School Meals to children in families receiving UC in England, and the above-inflation increases to the UC standard allowance.

Same on radio 4. I now view the hourly bulletins as joke news, turn it down and smdh about how insidious it all is. Like we aren't supposed to notice how downgraded bbc news content has become. Fiona Bruce popped up in a trailer the other day and I skipped faster than the speed of light.

I know I rant about this all the time but the rabid - and omnipresence - anti immigrant line on BBC 6 music news is so jarring

Feels like a text book example of how an Overton window is shifted
