Pleased to see this open letter from Together in response to the House of Bishops deciding, again, not to decide. It is time for same-sex marriage to be legal in the Church of England and the bishops have decided the next elections will be fought on that issue. togethercofe.org.uk/open-letter-...
I am attached to the BBC, despite its faults, since it is almost the only media not owned by billionaires. I think we should cling on to our public broadcaster and not leave the field totally in the hands of oligarchs.
Hello to new followers (no idea quite how you're finding me, but... hello!). This is the kind of thing I do. And my best work, every week, is in my newsletter, which you can subscribe to here: diagramclub.substack.com Anyway, thank you for following.

I can think of 101 reasons we need a #WealthTaxNow yet I can't think of even one disadvantage.
Bylines Network@bylinesnetwork.co.uk · last yr.“Oxfam’s latest inequality report showed that the total wealth of UK billionaires increased by £35mn per day in 2024. Increasing taxes on the super-rich through a modest wealth tax could generate an estimated £24bn a year.”
And this is why I'm doing my current job. THIS.
Rachel Coldicutt@rachelcoldicutt.bsky.social · last yr.Notwithstanding what I think may be a couple of transcription errors, this speech by Darren Jones on use of technology in Treasury is a very good speech. He sounds like he knows what he's talking about and that he understands why he's saying what he's saying www.gov.uk/government/s...
For Palestinians being killed and the future of human rights, we must keep calling out our Government’s complicity in this genocide. The UK has now issued more new arms licences than it pitifully suspended last year. Israel's violation of international law is our violation of international law.
As the Daily Mail reports today, beavers protect farmland from flooding. But the Telegraph reports wild beaver release as ‘a new front against farmers.’ Once again attacking natural solutions. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02...

Annaliese Dodds has made a principled decision to step down from her role following Starmer's move to cut foreign aid to fund defence spending. Like her, I believe withdrawing from humanitarian commitments is both cruel, counterproductive, and short-sighted.

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit
The rich keep getting richer. It's time to put people and planet before profit. #TaxTheRich
Scottish Greens@scottishgreens.org · 2y agoWe live in a country where the richest 1% control 70% of the wealth. ➡️Endless growth won't bring down your bills; we need to redistribute wealth to the working class. 🟢Scottish Greens would introduce a wealth tax, delivering £70bn for our public services.
Incredible.

He’ll now be working from the UK full time” #PMQs #PoliticsLive
