I spoke with @innovateuk executive chair Tom Adeyoola about the organisation becoming part of an enlarged Business Department.
For him the decision makes perfect sense, aligning the UK's research and innovation work with commercialisation. Read the full piece on UKTN.

🚨 NEW: 65% of Brits support the Green Party's policy of capping CEO pay at ten times the pay of the lowest paid employee

The Green Party's proposal for a wealth tax on 1% of assets above £10m and 2% on assets above £1bn comes top of our list of tax reforms that Britons would support, with 75% giving it their backing

Curious that takedowns of @ZackPolanski always describe his policies as dangerous but never seem to offer any reason.
Oppose a wealth tax if you want but to say it’s ruinous then spend more time on personal shots is just condescending to the reader.

Nathan Gill. Nathan Gill. Nathan Gill. Nathan Gill. Nathan Gill. Nathan Gill. A politician of any kind who takes bribes from Russia, but especially a friend and colleague of the man we keep being told will be next PM, should be as well known to this generation as Philby was to mine. Thanks to a media blackout to help Nige Nathan can walk down any street in the land unrecognised and unbothered by journalists. What weird times we live in

The truth: we need migration.
The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.
Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.
Reject it. Draw the line.
