The keynote speaker flew business class from Washington. The catered lunch is exceptional. The conference proceedings will produce, in due course, a forty-seven page report recommending as the 1994 report did, as the 2003 report did, as the 2011 report did, more aid. Africa, meanwhile, remains poor.

  11. @2legged It is absolutely no surprise to me at all that #Labour, under both Starmer & #Burnham, has no plans for #redistribution of #income & #wealth, #reduction in income & wealth #inequality or increased #taxation of the #rich, whereas they DO have plans, some of which they've already implemented, for #cuts in #social #spending & #socialsecurity #benefits, especially for the #disabled.
