Yup. Our pension is 38% of the EU average. In fact that’s why the triple lock was introduced to put it in line with other countries.
Funny how none of the “journalists” mention this..
@RichardMurphy explains the UK pension.

Who are we defending in the UK: who should pay?
As politicians call for more defence spending, whose rights are we defending, and who should pick up the bill?

Gary Stevenson is an important voice in explaining the whats, whys and wherefores of inequality - and it’s a shame he doesn’t get the difference between the government and a household. Richard Murphy puts him right … #inequality #mmt #richardmurphy #garystevenson

#RichardMurphy questions the neutrality of #medicine.

We like to believe medicine exists solely to heal. History tells a different story. From slavery to women’s dissent, from homosexuality to neurodivergence, medical authority has repeatedly been used t...

#RichardMurphy provides a good comparison from #history - not sure how Trump comes down from power, but certain that he will... Systems can't survive this much chaos.

But that hasn't stopped #EdMiliband spaffing £22BILLION on it!

Like #RichardMurphy said...imagine what that could do if it had been spent on insulating homes, or sorting out social care, or employing more #NHS nurses, or funding local councils and local services?

Seeing through the confabulations of our current system to one way of seeing things differently - that would radically change the way our world works

I’ve spent 50 years studying profit as an accountant, economist, and political economist. And here’s the truth: almost no one understands what profit really is, least of all mainstream economists. In this video, I explain why.

#RichardMurphy changes opinion #UBI #UniversalBasicIncome:

🙋 Think again, Edinburgh!
-> www.spokes.org.uk/2025/07/prin...

🤔 Even the Council's own report says it could be "more aspirational"

👍 New #RichardMurphy plans show how Council could reduce vehicle dominance and cater for 🚶👩‍🦼🚲🚌🚋 as in the #TransportHierarchy and other European cities
Intro to Spokes article... Princes Street: think again, Edinburgh! Princes Street, Scotland’s internationally renowned premier street, is unique, but has suffered in recent years. The opportunity to transform it, now under Council consideration, must not be squandered. New drawings by Richard Murphy architects suggest an imaginative way forward, catering for tram, bus, cycling and large numbers of pedestrians, whilst reducing vehicle dominance. This is the type of approach that the Council should be developing, rather than its current proposals – which its own report admits could be ‘more aspirational’ ! Section of Princes Street from Richard Murphy drawings, showing wider pedestrian space and onroad cycle lane separated from traffic except at bus bays Spokes table comparing different Princes STreet options Historic photos! 1996: Labour transport convener Cllr David Begg opens Princes Street bike lanes (removed by a later council). it was also Cllr Begg who banned private cars from Princes Street - no one would reverse that now! 2011: Princes Street was entirely free of all vehicles for the whole of December. The Evening News reported that shopping had thrived!
