There is no neutral reason to own this much media. Billionaires do not buy news outlets out of civic duty. They buy them to shape what gets seen, softened or buried. When stories on 60 minutes that are critical of trump vanish, stop pretending it’s coincidence. Power protects power. #Resist

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

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.

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.
