I wrote a short piece about the fallacy of 'affordable' housing when rents have risen immensely, focusing on the impact of this on millions of families (and why the governments' current plans won't fix it) 👇

Unions over here need to get to grips with the knock on effects of Trump's tariffs - it could get quite messy with more job losses than realised.

Austerity never goes away. We should see austerity not as something that comes and goes but as something that society enters through periods of intensification.

New thinking around the economy will continue to struggle and not get to where it is needed, when it continues to centre individuals more bothered about their own platform than anything else.

We cannot it leave it to the government and the private sector to determine how we transition industries - we know it won't be a workers' transition if we leave it to them.

For any firm, undersanding their own supply chain is vital to spot potential disruptions that may arise. Yet a data driven approach to analysing supply chains is barely acknowledged or understood properly by trade unions. So, how can thinking in a network perspective help us?🧵

Interesting. Worth noting: the EU tariffs are tailored to encourage Chinese producers to relocate plants to the EU. The more domestic production, the lower their tariffs. The UK approach will seemingly depend on persuasion and, one presumes, some hefty subsidies (as with Japanese firms in the 80s)

Ratcliffe happily pumps money into his shiny new toy but will let hundreds of workers jobs be thrown to the screapheap in Grangemouth. There needs to be a workers' transition of industry (and football clubs) sooner rather than later.

Good overview by Conway here. We need to seriously discuss how do we transition the industry in the UK when, 1) we don't really have the expertise 2) we don't have the raw materials or supply chains It is barely spoken about, if at all, in any talk of a just transition.
