The "best inequality economist in the world" has built his entire public profile on his insistence that wealth inequality is exploding when it's demonstrably not.
And he keeps getting away with it.
England's World Cup last-16 tie with Mexico is set to be moved to 19:00 BST on Sunday.
Fifa is understood to be bringing forward the game at Azteca, Mexico City, which had been scheduled to kick off at 01:00 BST on Monday (18:00 local time on Sunday).
Forecasts suggest there could be thunderstorms and heavy rain around this time, although Fifa has not yet provided any explanation.
This is the City Barge pub in Chiswick right now. What do you notice? It’s 3pm and they’re open. It’s a sunny day. Yes, that’s right; they have had to remove all of the tables and chairs outside. They have had to destroy their own business. Why? Because Rick Rowe, a Green Party councillor on Hounslow council, who lives very, very, very close to this pub and complains about it almost daily, has banned all three pubs here on strand on the Green Chiswick, from having outside tables. I can only assume he hates pubs, hates business and hates the British way of life. This would usually be buzzing with people enjoying their afternoon. However, they’re the wrong sort of people for Rick.

Interesting FT piece with some more detail on Andy Burnham's AI strategy, including a reassessment of driverless cars in London
Slightly strange use of the word "headlong" to describe a multi-year process to adopt something that's already commonplace in the US and China
"Just move everything out of London" is the end-stage philosophy of people with no ideas. There's so much low-hanging fruit in Britain. So many real things to actually do rather than pointlessly wasting time and money relocating departments to perform the same services but worse.
