@garyseconomics 👏 on @Channel4 programme. We now need to go and do the same exercise with the top 10% who are servicing /legitimising /enabling the million and billionaires you met with. This is what @MarcosGHernando & I did for @policypress.bsky.social

Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury
Wrote for IPSEA on inequalities in access to SEND support & legal advice — please share.
As SEND comes under growing political pressure, we mustn’t lose sight of families already least well served by the system.
Trusted, accessible support matters. ipsea.org.uk/blog/breaking-b…
SEND legal rights shouldn’t depend on income, language or background, yet they do.
Inequalities shape access — & may deepen with reform.

With @MakeVotesMatter @UnlockDemocracy @electoralreform
When people without power aren’t heard, democracy becomes performance.
Legacy media amplifies the views of high earners and political insiders, then presents them as “ordinary” or “common sense”.
Those most affected by inequality are talked about, not listened to.

“Don’t be so patronising about what ordinary people can do!”
@AyoCaesar in conversation with co-founder of Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, @RogerHallamCS21.

🙏 to @novaramedia, @BylinesNetwork & @A_Sarkar for widening who gets heard. My latest piece for @KSBylines builds on @policypress Uncomfortably Off: when high earners dominate the story Britain tells about itself, democracy is quietly hollowed out.
