65% of children starting school now, will work in jobs that currently don't exist. How will we educate this generation? By embedding an entrepreneurial mindset - Prof. Ross Tuffer.

Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 and a Freddo was 10p. Meaning that one hour of work got you 50 Freddos.
Fast forward to 2025, minimum wage is £12.21 and a Freddo is 35p. Now one hour of work will only get you 34 of them.
That's a 142% rise in pay but a 250% rise in frog shaped chocolate bars.
If wages had kept up with the price Freddos, the minimum wage would be £17.50 an hour.
The economy’s in shambles and yes I’m measuring it in chocolate frogs. But this post is about more than that. Too many people are working full time and struggling to survive because absolutely everything is increasing faster than wages.
Something needs to change.
Powerful moment in Falkirk as women anti racists form solidarity wall to protect refugees in the Cladhan hotel and face the far right. The racists, including fascists from Patriotic Alternative, show their true colours with mostly men shouting use and making more sexual threats.

ok, lads, we’ve put up flags, terrified refugees, attacked the police … but wages are still crap, services are still shit, rents are too high, health service is crumbling, trains unaffordable, food prices astronomical, and high streets all dead.
…should we try the flags again?
