#R4Today presenters noticeably more argumentative and confrontational with Government ministers than in years gone by. I wonder what’s happened to them in the last 6 months or so….?

The richest 50 billionaires in the UK make £2m profit every single day, each.
On this they pay an average of 11% tax.
The average person pays 37%.
It is time to stop saying we can't tax them, and start taxing them.

Morning folks. Please take a look at this letter, which includes my signature on behalf of Erskine Veterans Charity, to the Chancellor. I bet lots of you didn’t know that charities, delivering public sector #socialcare contracts, are already operating in the red. New #NIc could break us ❤️🩹

80+ Scottish social care leaders sign letter urging Rachel Reeves to change course on National Insurance.

I understand the concerns re stereotyping. However, if you base your business options appraisal of African countries on the lyrics of the #BandAid song , and not mineral wealth, infrastructure workforce statistics, education etc reports - the you’re not cut out for business #bbcqt

Have to say I thought #BobGeldof just made a coherent and passionate defence of #DoTheyKnowItsChristmas, and why the furore around #BandAid40 is a good thing. Service delivery teams/ experts have always been more sensitive to the emotive approach to #fundraising, too 😬
