Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

His opportunism is bad enough.

But never forget that this is the same Nigel Farage who allegedly made hissing noises and whispered "Hitler was right" to a Jewish contemporary at school.

Things he has NEVER apologised for.

Four hours after the hero's name was released

BBC News still calling him 'member of the public'

His name is Ahmed el Ahmed
He's a Muslim
How many Jewish lives did his heroism save?

This looks like a fantastic present for any lover of landscape and archaeology! Something to look forward to in the New Year!
Something exciting is happening- In support of keeping the Chilterns Heritage & Archaeology Partnership afloat (DEFRA monies only go so far), I have been encouraged to launch a lecture series.

(and yes, I asked Sir Baz sometime ago about basing this on his book, so I haven't just nicked the title😅)

60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity.

Top 10% earn more than the other 90%.

They control govts, means of production; inflict civil strife, deaths; thwart possibilities of democracy.

Tax the rich.
Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds
Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%

Flu and COVID-19 are illnesses that may have similarities - their spread can be prevented in similar ways: avoiding crowds and places with poor ventilation, wearing appropriately an effective face-covering, staying home when sick, and getting vaccinated. @nytimes.com

I for one will definitely be ignoring pesky health professionals & turning instead to newspaper columnists who backed Brexit, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump & Liz Truss for all my expert health advice during this very serious flu outbreak.

In 2026, the UK state pension age will rise to 67 from 66, fully implemented by 2028.

Rich retire whenever they want. The poor die at work, receive low pension, have shorter life.

Low wages = low private pension. Neoliberals want to cut state pension, inflict more misery on millions.
State pension age to increase to new threshold for millions of people
An increase in the age is on the horizon after it was announced more than a decade ago.

GB News grilled me apparently?

Only problem with this is I've never been on their nonsense channel.

They lie - obsessively.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence.

In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found Trump once did the very thing ...
