These enormous profits are the unearned windfalls of war. And every excess pound that the energy giants rake in is at the expense of British families.
Labour would be doing the fair thing and bring in a proper windfall tax on oil + gas giants to help freeze council tax this year
BP reports stronger than expected profits after high energy prices lead to calls for firms to pay more tax bbc.in/3NrmLfJ

Today, Tibetans and supporters around the globe mark Gedhun Choekyi Nyima’s 34 birthday. We haven't seen Tibet's #PanchenLama for over 25 years, since he was kidnapped by Chinese authorities in 1995.

Great write-up of recent research on employer responsibility during the cost of living crisis from @AdiGaskell in @Forbes.
@asliatayy & @TrinleyWalker found staff wellbeing is a priority for many employers but support is often ad-hoc & short-term.

“Corporate governance is ultimately a question of who the economy is for and whose voice matters.”
Short piece by me on the case for democratising the company.

Of the many many interviews I have done in my life I don’t think I have ever been as moved as by @MahmutRahima our latest @RestIsPolitics guest on LEADING. Exiled in 🇬🇧 since 2000 she is a leading light in the STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE campaign against 🇨🇳 I learned so much about 1/4
Another great piece from Sarah O’Connor contrasting the approach to welfare support between Germany & the UK. While here sanctions are ratcheting up, a far more progressive approach is being pursued in Germany - focussed on health & productivity.

Important report by @asliatayy & @TrinleyWalker that shows while staff wellbeing has been a priority for many employers during the cost of living
crisis, support has often been responsive, ad-hoc and short-term.
If you're an employer or policy-maker, it's worth a read.
New report 📢💥🧵
It explores the role of employers in supporting workers’ financial wellbeing and shows only 2 in 5 British businesses have introduced support to help staff with the cost of living crisis as many see operating costs rise. (1/10)

What steps are you taking to support staff through the cost of living crisis?
We would be really keen to hear practical examples your organisation is trying out to help staff managing living costs.

The knee-jerk desire to reach for tax-breaks for the over 50s rather than think hard about improving job-quality for (so-called) 'older workers', is revealing/depressing.
Good piece on Labour's plans to overhaul and devolve Job Centres so they provide better training opportunities, attuned to local employer need. Also cites @WorkFoundation research which found that people claiming UC face significant barriers to training and career development.
Exc - Labour plans overhaul of jobseeking with more devolved power, a major rethink of jobcentres and benefits for skills training. Details here - theguardian.com/money/2023/j…

Nurses' pay has fallen by 5% since 2010. The pay offer will lead to a predicted further fall of 5%. The PM describes this as "appropriate and fair"!! nuffieldtrust.org.uk/resourc…

A new coal mine undermines climate, green jobs & diplomacy. So why do it?
Perhaps cos, to push new oil & gas, the government needs the question of endpoint emissions to stay unclear
Me @NewStatesman on why this could be just the start of the disaster:
