Liz Truss

Liz Truss attacks British workers to deflect from Tory failings on the economy

Prem Sikka
Today

‘The UK has serious problems of skills and low productivity, but they require policies. The idiotic worker-bashing comments by Liz Truss make headlines but offer no analysis of the problems or durable solutions.’

disability

Too many disabled people lack the social care support they need to thrive. A National Care Service must change that

Ben Cooper
Today

‘For all the progress our country has made, largely under Labour governments, there are still too many disabled people of all ages who are locked out of everyday life’

With the climate crisis at our door, the Tories are fiddling while the earth burns

Amelia Womack
15 August, 2022 (4 days ago)

Heatwaves, drought and floods should be triggering radical action on the climate. The next Tory leader looks like they’ll only make things worse.

Putin

There can be no negotiated end to the war that sees Putin annexing more Ukrainian land

Mike Buckley
11 August, 2022 (2 weeks ago)

“Giving Putin more Ukrainian land now would not only radically undermine Ukrainian sovereignty but also unravel the post-World War II international system more generally. If Russia is allowed to forcibly annex neighbouring territory, what is to stop other countries from doing the same?”

Diane Abbott MP: Why you should support the Grassroots 5 in Labour’s NEC election

Diane Abbott

Bad bosses can’t beat the law

Thompsons Solicitors
26 July, 2022 (4 weeks ago)

Whether it’s agency staff, bypassing collective bargaining rights, or fire and rehire, workers can use the law to fight back.

What Rishi Sunak’s defence of his private school education reveals about the myth of meritocracy

Basit Mahmood
26 July, 2022 (4 weeks ago)

Hard work and merit don’t operate in a vacuum, as Sunak would like us to believe.

Class

Isn’t it time for further legislation to tackle social class inequality and classism?

Basit Mahmood
22 July, 2022 (4 weeks ago)

According to the Social Mobility Commission, even when those from working-class backgrounds have the same education attainment, role and experience as their more privileged colleagues, those from poorer backgrounds are still paid an average of £2,242 (7%) less.
