Jeff Bezos could give every single Amazon employee $105,000 and still be as rich as he was before the pandemic. Tax the rich.

In Danish, a KVAJEBAJER is a drink you buy for everyone when you’ve made a mistake or an embarrassing blunder. It literally means ‘failure beer’—or as it’s often explained, an ‘I-screwed-up beer’.

There some really credulous reporting going on in UK media today about the #BrexitDeal text.
The New York Times has a good analysis of the “forever Brexit” that this deal really means, and is ignoring the UK government spin: nytimes.com/2020/12/25/world…

Twitter is consistently hilarious at times of national emergency but the reality is these decisions will have a huge impact on people's mental health and on people in vulnerable situations. I hope everyone will be ok

Hey. Someone you love is afraid to bail on holiday plans because you might be upset with them, but cancelling this year might save their/your/other people’s lives. So they screencapped & texted you this tweet. Thanks for forgiving them so people can stay alive. They’ll Zoom ya.

Really shocking stuff from @alfie_stirling & @NEF - even if £20/week temporary uplift to universal credit & working tax credits is extended, their analysis shows the number of people in hardship *still rising by 1.7M* in the space of 6 months.
Ministers please take note & act👇
*NEW* @NEF analysis lays bare the crisis of living standards facing the UK this winter.
Modelling shows *2.5 million* more people are set to fall into financial hardship by Apr, compared with Sep.
