Brexit costs government £40bn a year in lost tax revenue
That is more than enough to pay all public-sector workers enough to keep up with inflation
Brexit has broken Britain

Somewhere on Mars a machine will collect together some dead, barren rocks
Meanwhile here on earth, life flourishes in abundance but is being exterminated by human activity
How can people get excited about the first but ignore the second?
This blows my mind

Obviously I was never going to delighted by either Argentina or France winning the World Cup
But this championship in the middle of winter has been a bizarre spectacle in spite of the wonderful football on display

‘Economists have been puzzling over the reasons for the UK’s shrinking workforce’
Perhaps they should try working in a job where you get treated with no respect, have more and more work piled on you every year, and have your real pay cut

😡 Without Brexit 'GDP would now be £120bn higher and tax revenues up some £50bn. Far from the £350m a week more for the NHS, we have £1bn a week less'
😭 #BrexitLies are destroying Britain

Tories’ pitiful strategy to ‘attack workers; attack Labour’ is a miserable failure
Look at the number of direct replies to this ludicrous tweet
We know that we need our nurses and other public service workers
We know they deserve a decent wage
We stand with them
RT @nadhimzahawi: Keir Starmer either cannot or will not stand up to his union mates causing strike chaos across the country.
It’s Labour’s nightmare before Christmas delivered with their pal Mick “Gr…

Striking illustration of of widespread nature of industrial action
Britain isn't working under the Tories

Please do better next time it snows, @GlosCC
RT @GreenPartyMolly: Councils have assiduously cleared roads for cars while pavements remain like skating rinks
My choice is to walk in the road and risk getting run over or walk on pavement and risk a broken bone
Another example of how those of us who limit carbon omissions are totally unsupported

Great little video drawing attention to a hidden emergency
Ideological Brexiteers in this government are tearing up laws that protect our environment
Lobby your MP to stop it happening

My phone tells me it feels like -12 outside this morning
For the first time I’m actually wearing a hat and gloves in bed
But still my milkman has put my delivery on the doorstep

More ignorant drivel from the minister arguing against decent pay for nurses
Since their work does not get sold in market it does not contribute to inflation
Go back to school and study some basic economics
And then pay the nurses a living wage

The rise and fall of peer review, by @a_m_mastroianni
Great paper about how peer review doesn’t work and wastes academic time
Much could be added about metrics guiding research money and time, cliques, and gaming the system rather than seeking knowledge

The government think that beating up on nurses will make them popular
Even the Express is on the nurses' side
Govt have severely misjudged public opinion on strikes and damaged us all in the process

Great interview with @daniel_freund on @BBCPM about the shameful European Parliament scandal
He made it clear that if reforms Greens have called for for decades had been implemented this sort of corruption would not be possible
Time for the other political groups to catch up

Britain’s workers reach their limits
On picket lines you don’t find “militancy”; most of people are tired and exasperated
They do not want a revolution but confidence that they can feed their families, put on the central heating and take the odd holiday
