The UK must stand firm on regulating big tech by strengthening the hand of the Competition and Markets Authority and refocusing its activities to protect consumers and promote competition, according to the think tank IPPR.

Is it just me or is the world going mad?

The #IPPR have just released a major report on ill health and its effects on the economy. They acknowledge that things have got much worse since #covid19 came along.

Hell, they even show this graph:

And they make some broadly sensible recommendations, but absolutely none of them is about mitigating the risks of covid.

Recommendations for free vaccines? Nope. Better air quality? Nope. Masking in healthcare settings? Also nope.

"The term the ‘sick man of Europe’ is often used to describe countries going through severe economic turmoil or social unrest. In Britain today, it has become a more literal reality.
We lag our peers on health outcomes, the number of people with a long-term condition is rising, and people are spending longer proportions of their lives in poor health.”
The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) report on Britain's health

Wealthy white men from rural areas are the UK’s biggest emitters of climate-heating gases from transport, according to a study by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR).
The richest 0.1% in Britain emit 22 times more from transport than low earners & 12 times more than average. Income is directly linked to levels of mobility.
In the UK, transport is now the largest source of emissions.

Carsten Jung from #IPPR calls for more investment to fund the clean energy transition.
So far so good.
But he then defends it because it will create more economic growth.
He's either been asleep or is a bad economist.
#GDP growth a) is not needed to defend sound investment.b) it makes climate mitigation more not less difficult.

"Instead of arguing over such red herrings, Labour and the Conservatives should be debating how such investment should be spent.." Yes.

A #report from the #IPPR and #CommonWealth thinktanks: "Global GDP could be 8% higher than it is now had market power not risen. Labour income is likely significantly lower, and economic dynamism is weaker – with poorer choice, worse product quality and fewer economic opportunities – than in a counterfactual world where big corporations were less dominant"

The #IPPR rightly follows Marianna Mazzucato & suggests that UK Govt. needs to invest directly in #greentehcnology;

as I've said before this make perfect sense; not only would it help accelerate the #greentransition, it would also pump-prime the UK's current lamentable #investment environment for #manufacturers...

Its a policy that the Labour Party should get behind.... its certainly a better use of #taxpayers money than subsidising #fossilfules (see earlier post)

Pay rises for public sector workers would NOT be inflationary

#IPPR reveals a 10.5% pay boost to restore real pay to 2019/20 levels, higher than rises announced by #Tories last week, would add at most 0.14% to inflation if funded by borrowing.

World risks descending into a #climate ‘doom loop’, warn thinktanks
Institute for Public Policy Research (#IPPR) & #ChathamHouse, said a current example of the impact of the #climatecrisis complicating efforts to reduce #emissions and other action was the debate over whether keeping the global temperature rise below 1.5C – the international goal – was still possible.
Report says simply coping with escalating impacts of #climatechange could override tackling root cause

The Tory #levellingup delusion, invented by #liar #Johnson & continued by his successors, completely demolished by #IPPR report. Compared with nation states the North would be second lowest in #OECD. http://bit.ly/3DdrjAa #SunakOut #RejoinEU #toryliars #StandWithUkraine

Given the #Wales #HS2 funding row, got musing that someone (#IPPR North?) should work out how much the North of England would get if it benefited from Barnett consequentials....
