CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Nigel Farage (Dulwich), Danny Kruger (Eton), Richard Tice (Uppingham) and Isabel Oakeshott (Gordonstoun) aren't 'standing up to the elite'. They are the elite.

Nick Robinson on the BBC asked why are the Green Party invisible?

Perhaps it is because he and the BBC almost never invite them on their shows.

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

“Going backwards on Brexit” means what exactly?
Nearly 10yrs on from an absurdly simplistic referendum, lumbered with a Brexit shitshow and Trump creating merry hell, we must improve our relationship(and trade)with the EU. Urgently.
Not being honest about that is the most backward thing imaginable.
Asked whether Trump's trade war means the UK will now consider re-entering a customs union with the EU, Keir Starmer's spokesman replies that "we're not going backwards when it comes to Brexit"

Why is Chris Philp allowed to interrupt and talk over other guests on #politicslondon? He does it every time unchecked.

I'm pretty confident you'll have heard from lots of viewers that you are embarrassingly biased #bbclaurak. When will YOU address that?

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.

They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

I'm disgusted that the #BBC are criticising Zelensky and expecting him to effectively grovel to Trump. Actually, #BBC, it's a bad day for Trump and Vance because they've left us all in no doubt that they are disgraceful bullies. Zelensky was right to challenge their bullying.

Academies have driven up standards because resources & funding has been allocated to them to justify them politically. It’s more than possible to have a fantastic education in a well resourced/funded LA schools without academy trust execs and overpaid heads skimming millions off the top. #bbclaurak

It's very clear that the editorial policy of @bbclaurak.bsky.social is to always have a Conservative on the panel. It's happening too often to not be deliberate. And it's not balanced. #bbclaurak

Why is @news.sky.com live-streaming 10 full minutes of what amounts to a far right propaganda CPAC event?
