Don’t use ‘boilerplate’ reasons to justify big exec pay rises, UK firms warned.
Exec pay has no link to performance. Remuneration cttees, non-execs serve their paymasters.
Need worker/consumer elected directors on boards, let them also vote on exec pay to secure equitable distribution of income.

The poorest 20% Britons pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%.
The bottom 50% of the population owns less than 5% of wealth, bottom 20% has 0.5%.
Can't reduce child/household poverty and relieve suffering without equitable distribution of income/wealth.

To tackle child poverty the government must deal with parental poverty
Labour's child poverty strategy offers some welcome measures, but it won't address the factors keeping families trapped in poverty

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins
Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.
