The year in data security has been a mess of data grabs, consolidation across agencies, and expanding surveillance. We’ve also seen steady erosion of cybersecurity and data protections in the government, leaving all our information vulnerable to misuse and theft.

Here's a better idea: FORGET bonuses, focus on fixing leaks and making bills fair.

Lost Evri delivery? It's not just corporate incompetence - it's because of worker exploitation

Evri drivers earn as little as £7 an hour, while Evri rakes in nearly £120m in profit.

When drivers aren’t paid for failed deliveries, they’re pushed to cut corners and it’s customers who pay the price.

We are spending $1 trillion every year on the military. That's more than the next NINE nations combined.

Meanwhile, millions lack health care & we have the highest childhood and senior poverty rate of almost any major country.

Congress needs to get its priorities straight.

‘Permanent winter’: a day in the life of a hospital dealing with flu and strikes
‘Permanent winter’: a day in the life of a hospital dealing with flu and strikes
The Guardian gained rare access to Royal Stoke university hospital to see how staff free up beds for patients in a gridlocked system * Acas offers to help break deadlock in resident doctors’ strike Thirteen ambulances are lined up at the rear of the Emergency Department (ED) of the Royal Stoke university hospital, Staffordshire, as Ann-Marie Morris, the hospital trust’s deputy medical director, walks towards the entrance, squinting in the low afternoon sun. Behind the closed door of each vehicle is a sick patient, some of whom have been waiting for four hours or more, backed up in the car park, just to get in the door. The reason they are stuck out here is that there are no beds in the ED – and there is not much corridor space, either. In the tight foyer, a cluster of ambulance staff and a senior nurse in hi-vis are huddled around a computer station. Behind them, a corridor stretches into the ward, where at least six or seven beds are lined up head to toe along one side, each occupied by a patient. Leading off to the left are three more beds and three more strained, watchful patients. Another patient and another bed is to the right. Continue reading...
