As it sped past Mars in March, Europa Clipper conducted a critical radar test that had been impossible to do on Earth. It went without a hitch, generating a detailed radargram of the Martian surface, which bodes well for exploring Jupiter's icy moon Europa go.nasa.gov/4lXAtp7

Why are the wealthy so well off? The accumulation of wealth has been driving inequality for decades. In the first of two articles we explain the injustice of our wealth taxation

Why do the rich keep getting richer?

Because we tax work more heavily than wealth.

This explainer lays out how the UK tax system quietly helps the wealthy stay wealthy – and why that needs to change.

Prof Richard Murphy reports

Today would have been my wonderful mum’s birthday. So many times I should have called but stupidly allowed work to stop me. Now I would give anything to hear her voice again. If you are lucky enough to still have your mum call her today and tell her how much you love her ❤️

Now she’s leading a campaign to ban them from beaches, and she won’t stop until real change happens.

I can’t speak enough of my outrage at this violent aggression fuelled by racism and mainstream political prejudices. It also breaks my heart.

What have we become? Where is compassion? These bigots do not represent the majority of UK people....but how do we counter their hateful attitudes?

Exclusive: Inside the Diss hotel – a refugee’s view of the anti-refugee crowd outside Families fleeing danger thought they'd found safety, until protesters gathered outside their hotel, chanting for their removal

"Some of the younger children... were not as afraid. But the tearful, frightened eyes of a ten-year-old girl clinging to her father’s chest told a different story.

Astute observation.
