The man-child is no Mandela or Mother Teresa. Nobel Prize would be devalued if given to Trump.

5.2m children, 36% of UK children, live in poverty.
Ending the two-child benefit cap would lift 500,000 out of poverty, cost £2.5bn.
Taxing capital gains at the same rate as wages raises £14bn.
Govts that gave £895bn QE to speculators, can also end poverty.

We don't need think tanks, or right wing politicians to tell us what the NHS needs.
1) invest in the NHS to repair years of underfunding.
2) cancel/pay off crippling PFI
3) end privatisation and outsourcing to stop money going to greedy CEOs
4) pay NHS staff a fair wage to fix the staffing crisis

As one scholar put it, “Where can the field stand if scholars from within and around it are unwilling to call the behaviour out?”

My friends, 2025 is going to be rocky. But one thing I know for sure is that some incredible people put a huge amount of care, craft, love and rage into writing books that will soon be published that are going to help us make sense of this broken and beautiful world.
