When I have fears, as Keats had fears, of the moment I'll case to be. I console myself with vanished years, Remembered laughter, remembered tears, and the peace of the changing sea.'
The fabulous Noël Coward, humanist and playwright, died #onthisday in 1973. Known for his razor-sharp wit and plays like 'The Vortex', 'Private Lives', 'Blithe Spirit', and 'Hay Fever', he defined an era of British theatre. Today, we remember him with some our favourite quotes. 🧵
The world energy shock is coming — it will deepen inequality in ways we've seen before. Our new
@newstatesman1913.bsky.social piece argues that without urgent government action, the Strait of Hormuz crisis will ripple through our economies and rip apart our societies. Here's why. 1/
Over 1,000 lives have already been lost since the US and Israel’s attack on #Iran. Alongside immense human suffering, the war is already having huge economic consequences that extend far beyond the region.
A 🧵 on the impacts, and what could happen to countries in debt if the situation continues
Are you better off than last year? 💸Billionaires certainly are.
Forbes just dropped its 2026 list & the numbers are wild.
The avg. billionaire added $500M to their wealth in 2025, taking them to $5.8Billion.
For the avg. UK worker to match that 1-year gain it'd take..

Last week we shared some research showing Swedes missed their wealth tax.
Well, it looks like the Danes do too...
A few billionaires, corporations & opaque networks now dominate UK political funding.
Unless the new Elections Bill is strengthened, our democracy will remain at risk of corruption by the super rich.

Rising food & energy prices are still driving inflation - interest rates are the wrong tool for addressing either.
My op-ed for @lbc.co.uk 👇
📰 Op-ed on today’s inflation figures.
This fall is very welcome but let's be clear - prices are still going up and up every single month.
Why? Because the govt & Bank of England are using blunt tools and ignoring the real drivers of it.

Proof that transparency and public scrutiny really can raise standards across the system 💪
The Governor of the Banque de France cites how topping the ranks of our green central banking scorecard one was of his institution’s key achievements 👇
When a central bank governor cites our work as an achievement, it shows public scrutiny works. 🙌 Our analysis is taken seriously, but there's more to do.
With leadership changes at major central banks, including at the ECB, accountability matters more than ever.

a graphic saying '63% say they have cut back on essentials because of the cost of living crisis', with some trollies illustrating the proportion.
Almost two thirds of people in the UK have cut back on essentials due to the cost of living. The crisis isn’t over — it’s getting worse.
Today we're launching the Cost of Living Action campaign, calling on the Government to end this crisis and ensure it never happens again.

Proud to have played a small part in this incredible movement years ago & amazing to see it going from strength to strength!
Peter Mandelson was not an outlier - government ministers keeping on caving to lobbying by big banks to put their interests ahead of ours.
We need to break the link with big finance.
"It is very worrying that banks feel able to use their influence to try and dictate elected government policy."
Peter Mandelson was not an outlier - Government ministers continue to put the interests of banks above ours.

After all the threats that banks, including JPMorgan, made to Rachel Reeves when she was reportedly considering a windfall tax on their record profits, here lies proof that often such threats are empty.
Reeves should take a leaf out of Darling's book, and stand firm in the face of bank lobbying.
Big polluters are fuelling the climate crisis.
The fair tax treaty being negotiated at the UN could help make these polluters pay up for their damages, as well as change the rules to tax the super rich and end international tax dodging.

#Poverty and the #ClimateCrisis won’t be solved by doubling down on economic growth.
This #ReclaimTheEconomyWeek, I argue in TIME for moving beyond the growth orthodoxy still defended at #Davos and towards new development models that put people and planet first.

The Power of Big Finance in action.
"Pragmatic policies will remain out of reach as long as we cling to the belief that economic growth equals human progress."
Excellent piece from the UN's Olivier de Schutter on the pitfalls of relying on GDP growth to fix all the world's crises.
