- The Office of National Statistics has released it’s first survey of wealth distribution in Britain. It should be a revealing read, and I will be browsing it on the train this week. You can read it here.
- Lots of campaigners asked politicians to get the train to Copenhagen. The train costs £480 and a plane ticket costs £18, which, George Monbiot rightly says, “forces most people to do the wrong thing, even if they want to do the right one.”
- I was pleased to see Peter Mandelson receive the ‘foot in mouth’ award from the Plain English Campaign, for this stumbling excuse over the MPs expenses: “Perhaps we need not more people looking round more corners but the same people looking round more corners more thoroughly to avoid the small things detracting from the big things the Prime Minister is getting right.”
