Monbiot nails it: "this is direct appeasement ... these people who go on and on about sovereignty, say they are the defenders of sovereignty, when it actually comes to the crunch they will sell anyone down the river."
“there are Neville Chamberlain’s in every generation”

George Monbiot’s takedown of Matt Goodwin and the Reform party is a thing of beauty 👏 #bbcqt

Yesterday, we published new research by @simonpittaway.bsky.social on the puzzle of why (unlike the US) measures of wealth inequality have hardly risen in the UK for 40 years.

What does it tell us about the nature of wealth inequality in the UK today?🧵
