- Pound in freefall
- Housing market collapse

Charities hit out at Farage for spreading ‘unevidenced fears’ about asylum seekers "He sows division in our communities, and like last summer race riots, it puts the lives of people seeking sanctuary in danger"

Snake oil sows division purely to further his own interests, we know he’ll stoke up rioting to further his ambitions too.

Tens of thousands of cornflowers in a field in Wicken. Research shows that the sight of them will help you recover from sources of stress more quickly & boost dopamine release in your brain, lifting your mood…in case you need it just now:

ELIZABETH WARREN: What Zohran is saying is 'I want people to be able to afford to live in NYC'

FABER: But raising taxes in order to do it?

WARREN: Oh my goodness! Oh dear! Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?

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?

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.
