I posted something about our gloomy economic situation and somebody suggested I add a CW, i.e. content warning

Can I seek wider guidance about this?

Is it considered bad etiquette on Mastodon to post political opinions?

Or OK to post them if you add… https://mastodonapp.uk/@Molly/109367073438173212

So fed up with endless reputation that ‘the money just isn’t there’ to pay for public services

Yes it is

In the pockets of the super-rich

Time for a #WealthTax

This is what a 'submerging economy' looks like

A downward spiral of cuts and failure

Other countries are investing in the green transition

But the Tories are protecting old industries and those who live by manipulating finance

"Social care should be free at the point of use for all adults" says @AdrianRamsay

@TheGreenParty would increase taxes for those on higher incomes to pay for an NHS-style social care system

@Jeremy_Hunt tells @MishalHusain the holes in Johnson's Brexit deal will be fixed: "I have great confidence that over the years ahead we will find, outside the single market, we are able to remove the vast majority of the trade barriers that exist between us and the EU."

Hey @jimmy_wales @timberners_lee

Any chance you guys who created the web and Wikipedia to serve us all could organise a user buyout of Twitter?

Once the stock falls to junk status?

Shouldn’t be too long the way things are going

The Dinosaurs of the Late Age of Capitalism are generously creating fascinating case-studies for those of us who teaching in the business school

First we had the mini-budget as example of government failure

Now the collapse of Twitter as example of disastrous mismanagement
RT @MikeSington: The Verge: Critical engineering teams at Twitter just resigned. “You cannot run Twitter without this team”, one engineer said.

Twitter is such a powerful institution, it’s astonishing that the odious Musk can destroy it so rapidly

Like many others, I’m dipping my toe in the water at Mastodon: why don’t you try it if you haven’t so far?

And please give me a follow: my handle is in my Twitter profile

Yesterday, Chancellor announced £30bn worth of cuts to our services that are already on their knees

@TheGreenParty would introduce a wealth tax to fund public services

Most British people would willingly pay more tax to pay for better public services

European Parliament to summon Elon Musk

I’m looking forward to this

He might not come

But then the EU might ban Twitter from Europe

Uprating benefits in line with inflation is the bare minimum

But it’s not enough for those on Universal Credit

@TheGreenParty would increase the benefit for everybody by an additional £40 a week

RT @faisalislam: Hunt sticks with Sunak promise as Chancellor - benefits and tax credits up by 10.1%, in line with September inflation costing £11bn

Re: innovation and entrepreneurship, Hunt prays in aid the contribution of Newton, Darwin, Turing, Berners-Lee etc

I wonder how many of those would have voted for Brexit

Outside Horizon and with investors looking elsewhere, Brexit ties entrepreneurs hands

💚It was good to hear Chancellor use the words ‘energy efficiency’—at last!

🤬National ambition to reduce energy demand—but cash only promised from 2025

🙄And mythical technofixes of CCS and nuclear soaking up government investment

Renewables so much cheaper

And here’s what Austerity 2.0 means for public-sector workers

Significant real-terms cuts to pay for those working in services that already have massive rates of vacancies

Piling crisis upon Tory crisis for our public services
