This very good corrective to the lack of critical thinking and engagement from government on why and how to work with Europe from @liambyrnemp and why matters to trade across the world for UK 👇

Always a pleasure and honour to spend time with @AFLCIO . Their insights into the dynamics of US trade and industrial strategy, as ever, second to none.

#News Lens: @liambyrnemp & @GustavoRiveraNY : 'UK & New York, as two of the world's biggest financial markets, have a...opportunity to act to facilitate...fair debt restructurings & protect taxpayers’ money from being used to bail out...private lenders'

Excellent piece from Kenan Malik about the necessity - and challenge - of rebuilding the countervailing power of labour to build a ‘good work’ economy - or what I call in #TheInequalityOfWealth , ‘civic capitalism’ 👇

National sovereignty is little defence against the global hunt for profits | Kenan Malik

Capitalism seems to enable companies to see staff as expendable units, not humans
