NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia https://t.co/gtHvhNsnuT

Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people.

A bit early for Christmas, isn't it @asda ? 100 days to go before the big day, and we're closer to midsummer than midwinter.

I do try to avoid the tendency for ‘humble-bragging’ on academic Twitter, but I did just get promoted to Prof and I am very happy about it! Big thanks to all the fabulous people I work with, and who have supported me.

@sturdyAlex @Cyfathrebwr If only we had the same "extraordinary" high standards for being a member of cabinet...

Even members of Sage are publicly criticising Johnson's cowardice for delaying a public inquiry into Covid until 2022.

Narrow 323 vote win for deserving candidate Kim Leadbeater in #BatleyAndSpen

8,264 for Galloway.

What now for Labour, as they juggle a policy vacuum and a leader who is excellent at PMQs but has struggled to communicate what Labour stands for?

Dominic Raab's number has been freely available online for 10 years ... And yet still no-one gives him a ring when they're going to watch the football.

It's depressing, but the reason why Johnson is unlikely to sack Hancock is the same reason he's not sacked the others for bribery, bullying and being shit.

He likes to be surrounded by incompetents indebted to him whose awfulness distracts from his own.
