On World Poetry Day, here’s a reminder of the power of poetry and its potential to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language. But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

Brexit is causing a severe medicines shortage
The UK is grappling with its worst medicine shortage in four years, and the evidence points squarely at Brexit as a central cause. In 2024 alone, drug companies reported 1,938 supply disruptions to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) – a sharp rise from 1,634 in 2023. The worst-hit medications include essential treatments […]

Barclays CEO pay up from £4.3m to £10.5m. Real average pay of UK workers unchanged since 2008. Govts tell workers pay rises are inflationary, but that doesn't apply to exec pay, dividends, exec pay, share buybacks. Their profiteering is our inflation and poverty. It is class war.

Glory for a moment in the fevered desperation of the Tory press to have someone do worse than their very own, very special, out-of-control firehose, Liz Truss, spraying them all forever with her mess. No. Not this time, you silly twats. The wait for a replacement goes on… (Private Eye)
HOW JOURNALISM
WORKS
First two weeks of January:
Yields on government bonds rise dramatically. Headlines include
"Reeves facing £6bn blow from rising gilt yields", "Reeves must cut taxes or risk driving the economy off a cliff' (both Telegraph); "Labour's borrowing costs surge 'worse than Liz Truss chaos'" (Mail); and "Reeves battles market sell-off as bond yields rise" (Times).

15 January: Gilt yields fall dramatically after better than expected economic news, erasing almost all increase of previous week.
Almost no headlines mention this in any of the above newspapers.
