Poverty kills. Cancer death rates are 60% higher for people living in deprived UK areas compared with those in more affluent areas. 28,400 extra deaths due to deprivation, people seek comfort in smoking. Poor healthcare, late diagnosis, 'must work pressure' punishes the poor.

Around 7.9m UK people have no savings. More than 21m have less than £1,500 in reserve. Bottom 20% of the population has 0.5% of the wealth. This can't provide springboard for economic growth Must redistribute and boost purchasing power of the masses. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/labo...

This motherfucker has the audacity to recite Dr. Martin Luther King's "Let Freedom Ring" when trump's policies will probably erase that from American history books. What a thoroughly disgusting event. As awful as we thought it might be.

As expected Thames Water says it will raise base pay of bosses if Ofwat limits bonuses. Limiting bonus is just a useless govt impression management exercise. Need to put customer-elected directors on water company boards. Let customers vote on exec pay. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I'm finding the switchover from Threads (which is still my main a/c) a tad difficult, the like/repost etc. buttons are all in the wrong place! I'm trying to remember if this is what Twitter looked like.

A gentle reminder that you should always resist the temptation to tag a creative person into a negative review of their work. It doesn't matter what your intentions are, it's kind of an asshole maneuver. You are free to say whatever you like, of course. Making it their problem, however, is not kind.
