The top 10% have strong political influence, but what do we know about their attitudes to inequality? #UncomfortablyOff @policypress draws on this @FEPS_Europe 2020 report in collaboration with @arenaide @CompassOffice @funalternativas @TASCblog

It’s been a brilliant but exhausting visit to the UK promoting our book on high-income earners. One of the highlights was definitely meeting @RichardBurgon who was in a 2019 QT having to insist £80k does place you in the top 5% – why is it so surprising to those who qualify?

The richest 1% are getting ever richer while everyone else is seeing their pay fall and public services crumble.

A real privilege to meet with @gerrymitchell2 and @MarcosGHernando to discuss their new book on how we build an alliance of the 99% to tackle economic inequality.

SUCCESS! Shell’s ads have been officially banned after our #greenwashing complaint🔥

Shell & big oil "will not be permitted to advertise that they are ‘green’ while they build new pipelines, refineries and rigs – but this doesn’t go far enough."

[Gerry Mitchell @GerryMitchell2]

What have we done to create a society where the rich feel poor? How do we bring a collective narrative back? Can high earners critique capitalist common sense? Uncomfortable questions? #UncomfortablyOff🧐🙏 @ariskomporozos @StewartLansley @Challenges @IASo @MarcosGHernando

[Victoria Pittman @Victoria_VJP]

Lovely day and location for a book launch, thanks again @MarcosGHernando and @GerryMitchell2
