This sounds nice, but it's a great way to undermine the welfare state. The strongest welfare states in the world (the Nordics) tax everyone, including nurses. And they give everyone universal healthcare, childcare, pensions, education in return. When the middle class has skin in the game, they defend the system. When welfare is 'just for the poor', it becomes a poor program: stigmatized, underfunded, easy to gut. That's why billionaires keep pushing this idea. The real scandal isn't that this nurse pays $12k. It's that Jeff Bezos pays $0.
Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”
Getting retirees into gaming and off of Fox could save the brains of a whole generation.

New 🚨 House of Lords is now on UKgovscan. 15 years of attendance allowances, 5000+ declared interests and cross referenced with Companies House to find peers whose employers and investments hold government contracts Browse here: ukgovscan.com/lords

Socialist MP Tony Benn died 12 years ago today. Benn spent his life fighting for democracy and socialism. At a time when his Labour Party was lurching rightward, he stood steadfast in the way of neoliberalism and militarism. Hear his words about war on the Middle East.
Just thinking that conversion to decimalisation, an act of rationalism and progress, would be unthinkable today given the insane, unhinged culture war that would erupt. And that alone tells you how much things have regressed.
On this day in 1971 the United Kingdom and Ireland adopted the decimal system.
We live in a world where this dude is begging for 30m to cure cancer while Charles Leclerc alone has a salary of 40m
🚨: Mariano Barbacid, who discovered the cure for pancreatic cancer needs 30M€ to start the clinical trial in humans against pancreatic cancer. It has already managed to eliminate the disease in mice. x.com/CocoMediaExili…
“Money! Nothing so evil as money ever grew to be current among men. It lays cities low, drives men from their homes, trains & warps honest souls til they set themselves to works of shame; it teaches folk to practise villanies, and to know every godless deed”- Sophocles, Antigone
🚨BREAKING: Javier Milei erupts at the World Economic Forum: "We must return to drawing inspiration from Greek philosophy, embrace Roman law, and go back to Christian values!"
What stage of capitalism is it when the White House is rigging betting markets on how long its press briefings denying war crimes will last
Today's White House Press Briefing had a 98% chance of running over 65 minutes - until Karoline Leavitt abruptly ended it with seconds to spare. Traders on the NO side made 50x in seconds.
Watch it, drink it in 🥃
SPOILER - no, there is none. And such terrifying consequences for the whole world if this is normalised. Come on @Keir_Starmer - uphold international law. We literally depend on it. theguardian.com/world/2026/jan…
Another example of the perpetual victim complex of right wing politics is this genre of mournful eulogising about a world that their politics destroyed.
Important words from Jeremy Clarkson about the decline in rural services and the loss of so many village pubs. This is causing loneliness and a loss of community spirit.
My warning as the new head of Unison: never again will we prop up politicians hostile to unions theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The OBR was created in 2010, and it’s no coincidence that the UK has been stuck in an economic doom loop since then Governments repeatedly design budgets to game the OBR’s highly uncertain projections of highly problematic fiscal rules. This is part of the doom loop
Thr most seemingly intractable problem we have is a failure to understand how bad austerity was.
The austerity overseen by Gauke as a Treasury minister was a catastrophic, self-inflicted economic disaster that we are still having to live through.
When Keir Starmer ran to be Labour leader in 2020, he pledged to “defend migrants’ rights” and to have “an immigration system based on compassion and dignity”. How far he has fallen: not just in the polls but morally too. My new column for @theipaper. Link below
I feel like a stuck record, but: - climate change isn’t some big distant threat but an immediate experience - all future politics and economic questions will be fundamentally shaped by this fact - nearly all current politics and economic thinking has failed to grasp any of this
