🚨 Breaking:

The UK could lose up to £5.2bn if it scraps the Digital Services Tax on Big Tech – enough to pay for training 128,000 new NHS nurses.

Polling shows 67% back enforcing laws on Big Tech, even if it strains relations with Trump.

As far as I can tell, and as you would expect, NIESR do not mention a "50bn black hole" anywhere in their report or commentary. Who is the BBC quoting here? No indication of where the phrase has come from, or what it refers to. Nor is there a link to the interview. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The UK govt softened tax reforms on the superrich because of a widely reported “exodus” of millionaires fleeing the UK.

Our new study w/ @patmillsuk.bsky.social & @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social shows that the "exodus" was a complete fiction.

Speaking at yesterday's Mass of Inauguration, Pope Leo XIV called on us to respond with love and fraternity in response to the social and economic problems of our time.

Spoke to BBC Radio London for @cafod.bsky.social on how world leaders can honour #PopeFrancis - not with words, but with action on the issues that were closest to his heart: debt justice, fair tax, wealth redistribution, climate action and building an economy that serves people and planet

@CAFOD #Jubilee2025 panel at IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings today explored solutions to the debt crisis that is trapping hundreds of millions in poverty. @Martin_M_Guzman spoke to the key problem of IMF bailouts being used to pay private lenders rather than invest in development

Pope Francis saw and spoke to a world in which the economy no longer serves ordinary people, inequality is soaring, and our natural world is in crisis. I spoke to @skynewsrss.bsky.social for @cafod.bsky.social on the legacy of a Pope who criticised an “economy that kills”
