The public response to my tweet about the death of the Queen was extraordinary. People really do want better information. @EAPCvzw invited me to ponder via their blog. Here's the post: eapcnet.wordpress.com/2022/10/25/hid…
A prime minister worth £730m and a chancellor worth £14m are about to tell people on the minimum wage why austerity is good for them.
