There are those that think that Farage is somehow better than Labour's Rayner. What deluded people they are.
Jim Pickard@pickardje.bsky.social · last yr.“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
I’d firmly describe myself as 🏴 #indycurious so looking forward to going to this event in Cardiff on Friday to talk currency and economics with the excellent @markjhooper.bsky.social @tegidroberts.bsky.social and @leannewood.bsky.social : scotonomics.org/event/the-ec...
The Economics of Independence for Scotland and Wales – Monetary Sovereignty - Scotonomics
An economic event in Wales to discuss the economics of independence focusing on the importance of wales having its own currency.

A new poll has revealed that over half of Welsh people believe Plaid Cymru is the best party to stand up for Wales ✍️Emily Price wp.me/p8Mk4U-13PG

When a government inherits policies from the previous government and some time has passed ( where they could have fixed them) they then become their policies.
The Canary@thecanaryuk.bsky.social · last yr.The DWP gave nearly £250 million to private companies in June alone Over £40 million of this mind-blowing amount was spent on notorious DWP health and Work Capability assessments - where these private companies routinely abuse disabled people www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Does this mean the gitwizard wants to annex the Cotswolds?

Nobody is suggesting that an independent country switches its currency on day one. However name me a single former British colony that used sterling long term.
Labour voters in Wales wishing to see an independent Wales need to understand that for Welsh Labour politicians fealty to party comes before loyalty to the Wales and our people. Leading to two-faced arguments for voting Labour. Want an #indyWales? Vote Plaid! #annibyniaeth youtu.be/aXKn-rQVO9Q?...

Interview request! If you work in the gig economy, or are falsely self-employed, I want to talk to you about how this kind of work affects you and your relationships with other workers - for an upcoming book on competitive individualism. Get in touch if that's you!
Boris Johnson and his pal Nigel Farage. One through ten.
Kate Bevan@katebevan.com · last yr.ok, somebody needs to rank the top 10 Great British Grifts of, say, the past 20 years.
“Which universities have been selected?” “Both of them.”
Research Professional News@resprofnews.bsky.social · last yr.UK’s £54m Global Talent Fund offered to pre-selected institutions. Move ahead of fund’s announcement raises concern about UKRI money “becoming politicised”. www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-p...
"When I received word I’d been selected, a light went on inside me. The money would be a huge boost, of course, but also, I felt seen. I felt valued... It turns out that €325 a week [in UBI] can not only help with groceries and doctors’ bills, it also makes you feel like you’re worth something." 🎯
How Ireland’s landmark €325-a-week arts scheme changed my life – I’ve never taken it for granted
People who make art are human beings who need the same things as you: shelter, food and water. But they also need to be valued enough to invest in

Babel’s Professor Richard Lovell is a truly odious bastard.
What nonsense. This development will be jointly owned by a French state owned energy company and an Irish state owned energy company. Why not a Welsh state owned energy company. Devolve the Crown Estate and we could have one.
David Deans@deansofcardiff.bsky.social · last yr.Was interesting to hear Jo Stevens on Radio Wales Breakfast earlier saying that the announcement of two firms that will develop new floating wind farms was a "vindication" of the position not to devolve the Crown Estate
A better argument is that the Robeson Channel between Canada and Greenland (Denmark) is only 19 miles across.
The Beaverton@thebeaverton.com · last yr.Minister of International Trade says Canada should apply for EU membership: "Canada is only 19km from France."
Cost of rail per mile is >£20m per mile so £440 buys you 22 miles if you’re lucky. But it will be spent on Maintanence I expect.
