Brian Eno in the New Statesman

Thank you for this 🙏

Woman, seeking political news about women. Anyone else out there?

blackfriars is of course beautiful, but the design & placement of the platform signage must have been decided whilst someone was on acid.

This week at work has been a joy

"We should get rid of that idea that there are a few people at the top of the wealth pyramid who are the ones who make us wealthy - they aren't." PMUK's Brian Eno

Brian Eno: anyone who'd leave the UK because they have to pay a bit more tax arent the least community minded

Lord Bethell: "but they are the wealth creators"

"They're not the wealth creators. The wealth creators are the people who make things.. who keep society running"

Well said Brian!

Notable that Labour's losses to the right (11%) are dwarfed by their losses within bloc (27%) and Don't Knows / WNVs (21%). Collectively 4.5 times as large. The argument that ONLY losses to the right matter in the constituencies Labour have to defend seems increasingly tenuous to me.

New polling from @patmillsuk.bsky.social shows that millionaires recognise that extreme wealth is making life harder for everyone else 👎

Take a look at our new blog that unpacks 3 ways that extreme wealth threatens everybody: justmoney.org.uk/blog/davos-2...

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires call for higher taxes on super-rich Mark Ruffalo, Brian Eno and Abigail Disney sign letter timed for WEF in Davos saying wealthy are buying political influence

Extreme Wealth Line

extremewealthline.com and if that's your bag then there's even more here 👇

There's some wonderful writing from @febalata.bsky.social in this edition of Renewal, on how extreme wealth undermines democracy, blocks attempts at justice, and on how the fight against it has got to be a core priority of modern progressive politics.

nothing more luxurious than eating a Flake that cost you five pounds to obtain via your kids.

(successive) govts treating Speaker’s rebukes as just a cost of doing business is a genuine problem - exec attitude to Parliament is broken.

Idk,but the world’s too networked for a small circle to decide that now, which I think is a net good (but difficult) thing.

My ego forces me to stand by this statement

Yes Harriet!

This is intolerable

"This context means that in a very real sense, it is trade union members, and not Labour Party members, who will decide the outcome of the next leadership contest."

Seven Select Committee Chairs have written jointly to the Prime Minister calling for an explicit ban on cryptocurrency donations in the forthcoming Elections Bill.

This is not an argument about digital assets. It is an argument about democratic integrity.

Dining across the divide: ‘He agreed with me on a wealth tax, which I thought was unusual for a Reform voter’ They bonded over football and felt the same about taxing billionaires. How did they fare on immigration?

that final five minutes alone *more than* warrants the license fee

so tomorrow will see the greatest hour of telly ever

It’s unwise for Labour to attack the Green party and its wealth tax proposal | Letters Letters: Readers respond to the Fabian Society’s leader, Joe Dromey, describing the Green party as a threat to be countered alongside Reform

Some welcome rebuttal here from @richardburgon.bsky.social

It’s hard to imagine that same interview taking quite the same line if it were held today. We’re clearly in the market for solutions to mitigate the harms of extreme wealth, not cheap sneers. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
