"Kyiv will not and must not give up" demands @SimonTisdall - a man who's already reached comfortable old-age - who would have 100s of 1000s more young men die in an "unwinnable war" whilst he celebrates Christmas with all the trimmings! @AMurcouris #SMO theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


It seems counterintuitive to focus on increasing pay and professional standards for carers when there is a huge funding gap. But, of course, this may be the only way to force a funding solution in our cowardly political culture! @pollytoynbee #MPs #carers theguardian.com/society/2024/n…


Grotesque levels of inequality have been justified by relentless state and media vilification of left-wing policies, leading to voters in Europe and North America entertaining various right-wing alternatives. @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP #MPs theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


With birth rates falling throughout the developed world and with mass immigration seen as a problematic solution to the challenge of ageing populations, it's time for Intergenerational Fairness; just like we Baby-Boomers had! @inter_gen @pollytoynbee #MPs instagram.com/p/DCRg3_OsXBw/…


If Britain is to survive its myriad of crises, then some will have to pay more; but these are the wrong people. @Keir_Starmer has chosen to penalise young aspiration instead of old windfall-wealth. Common personal tax is the answer. @inter_gen @UKLabour theguardian.com/education/2024…


The individual decision to have or not to have children is varied and personal, but there is a strong socio-economic correlation between low birth rates and large affluent elderly populations. @inter_gen @hannahfearn @pollytoynbee #MPs #birthrate #news bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…


At this terrible time in Valencia, may I respectfully suggest to the Spanish and UK government the creation of a Defence & National Emergencies Department, as explained in my blog article: A Manifesto for Britain 2024. #climatecrisis #Spain #news #MPs #UK theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…


There is so much to commend in @RachelReevesMP first budget but still more tax revenues are needed; and they can only come from equalising the personal income tax system in the UK [CPIT in my blog] and from progressive property taxes replacing Council Tax. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


Since the 1980s, I have witnessed the UK government prioritising older generations over younger generations in every area of economic and social policy. What did we think would happen? @pollytoynbee @hannahfearn #birthrate #UK #economy #society #news #MPs bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…


"Working People" are those who are dependent for the substantial majority of their income upon employment (or working-age benefits) or the income/profit from a small-business/self-employment which is reasonably equivalent to earned income. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…


As I explained in 'How to Solve Britain's Health & Social Care Crisis' [see my blogpage] a National Care Service can be paid for through equalising personal taxes and achieving a lower burden on young people and not a higher one. @wesstreeting @UKLabour theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


"Working People" are those who are not pensioners or early retired but who are dependent for the mass of their income on employment or working-age benefits or the income/profit from a small business which reasonably equates to a manager's salary #MPs #news theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/o…


Retirement at 71 is the wrong response to the challenge of our ageing, often NHS life-extended population. What is needed is for millions of affluent UK pensioners to pay the same taxes as working people and receive only means tested benefits. @inter_gen theguardian.com/money/2024/feb…


With councils like Hampshire CC now spending 83% of their budget on social care, local government (as defined in the Local Government Act of 1888) is another victim of Britain's self-harm! @CentreProPolicy @pollytoynbee @DanielHewittITV @hannahfearn #news theguardian.com/society/2024/o…


Yet another national crisis to add to all the others! At what level of national self-harm do we admit to the incalculable damage done by our obsolete, unrepresentative - yet endlessly self-congratulatory - political system? @premnsikka @pollytoynbee #MPs theguardian.com/society/articl…


I have followed the work of @williamnhutton for 40 years, and I think this is the best article he has ever written! I can only hope its contents will be reflected by @RachelReevesMP in her First Budget, in October 2024. @pollytoynbee @guardian #MPs #news theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


For goodness sake, these floated Budget proposals don't address the fundamental problem: unearned income is treated so much better than earned income! @RachelReevesMP, please read if.org.uk/2023/03/07/a-c… @pollytoynbee @inter_gen #Budget24 #MPs #news #taxes theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/o…
