The biggest impact on my life from cycling isn’t health, fitness or saving the planet.

The "Europe - Countries Quiz", where you have to match country names with regions on a map, has been played 27011 times in the last 30 days. Mainly a German 🇩🇪 audience.

Map shows the quiz results. 🟢 best knowledge. 🔴 worst.

My take on the #30daymapchallenge

Neoliberals pushing to cut/freeze state pension.

Evidence: UK state pension is the worst among G7 nations, last on replacement rates, joint-last on state pension spending.

Britons receive pension for fewer years than most.

Temu’s EU operations doubled pre-tax profits to $120m (£90m), employed just 8 people, $18m corporation tax,

It is smoke and mirrors of profit shifting, offshore tax havens.

UK High street can't compete.

Govt must review customs duty exemptions, require multinationals to show where they pay taxes.

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

I've been deeply concerned about some of the misinformation around asylum seekers in Perth. The graphics below address some of the myths that are presented when issues are raised. We must have the debate rooted in facts and basic decency.

UK Govt must change course.

Increase purchasing power of the bottom 50%.

Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. WRONG

At the very least abolish VAT on domestic fuel, reduce std rate of VAT, lift personal allowance by £1,000.

Shift the cost to the rich.
Why the reshuffle alone won’t change the government’s fortunes
"For better electoral fortunes, the government needs to junk neoliberal policies, never-ending austerity; directly invest in infrastructure and redistribute income and wealth."

Is a maximum pay cap the answer to inequality in the UK?
youtu.be/GKevsgaMxAQ?...

CEO pay in the UK is out of control. The median FTSE 100 boss now takes home £4.5 million a year – while millions struggle to live on the minimum wage. If we can set a minimum wage, why not a maximum pay cap?
