There are 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK.
Meanwhile, there are more British billionaires than ever before.
I think we should tax the rich to lift children out of poverty. Why is that such a radical idea?

Mickey 17 is a big middle finger to space-obsessed strongmen

the Barclays outage in the UK should be a wake up call to the 20 million people still using legacy banks. They run on infrastructure that isn’t fit for purpose. It’s like still using British Gas for your electricity when there are so many modern alternatives that are more reliable and cheaper
