New report reveals a shocking fact about the UK’s role in the climate crisis

A new report that largely analysed the US’ role in global plastic pollution has revealed a shocking fact about the UK. According to the report, the UK is the world’s second biggest generator of plastic waste per capita. The country only trailed behind the US for the amount of plastic waste generated per person and came first among EU countries. Amid the climate crisis, plastic pollution is a stressor the natural world really doesn’t need. It takes millions of lives each year of marine animals, as plastic waste often ends up in oceans. Meanwhile, plastic contributes to global warming – by generating “heat-trapping gases at every stage of…

Jeremy Corbyn’s suspension is a massive distraction from what’s actually in the EHRC report

Jeremy Corbyn’s suspension from the Labour Party was rightly greeted with shock and an outpouring of solidarity. But Corbyn’s suspension also served as a massive distraction from critically evaluating the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) report. On 29 October, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) published its long-awaited report into antisemitism in the Labour Party. The BBC reported that: The human rights watchdog found Labour responsible for “unlawful” harassment and discrimination during Mr Corbyn’s four-and-a-half years as leader. And Keir Starmer said that it was “a day of shame”. However, the real “day of shame” was Starmer’s response to the report, and his sacking of Corbyn. As…

New report confirms HMRC doesn’t know the true cost of furlough fraud

New report confirms HMRC doesn’t know the true cost of furlough fraud

Originally HMRC predicted that the cost of fraud and error to the CJRS would be between 1% to 2%. However, according to HMRC’s planning assumption, the total cost could range from 5% to 10%. In real terms, that’s between £2.0bn to £3.9bn.  While the NAO report explains that HMRC’s initial estimates were based on assumption rather than evidence, it is a concern that this large figure has been estimated on a number based on out-of-date samples. HMRC’s predictions were made based on payments made up to mid-September, meaning that the current cost is unknown. A third of employees were asked to work while furloughed  NAO has confirmed that HMRC’s…
