Iain is correct. We still live in the shadow of the financial crisis and collapse in growth that followed. Median earnings today are at least £10k below where they would have been if continued on previous 50 year trend. From that has followed a lot of our political dysfunction.

What is wrong with you Britain🤷🏻‍♀️ Week after week hundreds of us go out and litter pick but we are simply mopping up whilst the tap is still on. It’s time for a national strategy on litter and fly tipping. For now another week another litter pick done ⁦@cleanupbritain⁩

So sad to hear that the legend #JohnnieWalker has passed today. Only one playlist for tonight. Walk strong into your future Johnnie and we'll keep our heads high. 🙏

👇 Superb from @TorstenBell - demonstrating again that possibly the biggest challenge this Government faces is a biased right wing press.

I want to tell you a story about an old man, with a silly name and ridiculous hair, who was born in New York, became a media personality and then a right wing politician. 🧵

A sad day as Johnnie Walker hosts his final radio show. Millions of us will miss his warmth, love of music, the stars who sounded like mates… and you were our incorrigible, irreverent mate, who had all the best rock’n’roll stories. Sail on safely, Pirate JW. 📻 #JohnnieWalker

Really sad to hear that @PJTheEconomist is leaving the IFS - he (and the organisation) have been the authoritative and honest voice on all things finance and economics for a v long time. Good luck and thank you Paul and I'm sure the IFS will continue to thrive. 🙏

Rather childishly (and unoriginal I know) but I couldn't help but rearrange the display at Waterstones Cardiff yesterday to express my continued loathing of this incompetent oath. With thanks to @RoryStewartUK , @jessphillips , @IanDunt , @TorstenBell @susie_dent and @mermhart

👇 A must listen for anyone interested in all things US election (oh, and the survival of American democracy and international relations / peace at the same time).

👇 Excellent read.

Those who break the law will feel the full force of the law.

Put simply: If you engage in violent protests, you will face the full force of the law.

Is there a better political commentator than Larry. I don't think so.

I’m a doctor originally from Afghanistan who is now proudly serving people of all backgrounds in NHS. Despite the fear of violence against my faith & background, I won't be intimated. UK is my home & I will continue to help anyone who needs it. We shouldn't give in to racism.

I’m looking forward to starting my Monday morning clinic 💙 I refuse to be afraid to look after my patients because of the colour of my skin or my faith. We cannot let hate win #NHSGP #TeamGP

Every single word of this from 👇Paul Mason. 🙏

I'm all up for this. An absolute legend and one that doesn't / didn't get the full recognition he deserves. 🙏

Fascinating. I hope he's given the licence to act on these ideas. For the "profound crisis" in prisons - which are "days away from running out of prison cells" - see last week's @instituteforgov report:
