The question is: which Britain’s need to accept it? Nurses at food banks or those earning over £100,00? Could we not, (for once) see this the ideal moment for addressing our wealth inequality problem and shift the burden up? theguardian.com/business/2023/…

Got my Xmas tree up, tucking into a mince pie and snuggling up on a rug by the fire (well radiator) for this lovely winter tale from the always amazing Karine Polwart - pull up a cushion and join me!

Impressively this is the strangest sentence I have read all strange year: “the decision by the environment secretary, Michael Gove to remain in the cabinet helped steady the pound” theguardian.com/business/2018/…
