Are UK universities a con? | Opinion


Thousands of students are graduating into an employment crisis, leaving them feeling hopeless and overqualified, as well as dealing with enormous debts from tuition fees.

Can a wealth tax really fix inequality? | Opinion


“A wealth tax is less Swiss Army knife, and more … toothpick.” Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 After decades on the fringe, a wealth tax is now central in politics. Even Andy Burnham, the UK’s new prime minister, will not rule it out. The idea of taxing more of what you own rather than simply what you earn is popular on the left. It helps fight the billionaires, say supporters, tackles chronic inequality - and raises a ton of cash. It sounds great, but the Guardian’s senior economics commentator, Aditya Chakrabortty, is not convinced. #economics #wealthtax #UKnews #ukpolitics

On the ground at India's ‘Cockroach’ protests


The unprecedented expression of dissent against India's government, headed by the prime minister, Narendra Modi, has shown no sign of abating, as protests by the youth-led “cockroach” protest movement entered its fourth day. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 The Guardian’s south Asia correspondent Hannah Ellis-Petersen was on the ground in Delhi, where thousands still thronged the streets, many having travelled hundreds of miles to be there. While the Cockroach Janta party has primarily focused on accountability for the devastating recent leaks of exam papers and called for the resignation of the education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, the overriding feeling as the week develops is that this is now bigger than one issue. For some, this is the moment that India’s youth – totalling more than 600 million – found its political voice.

Houston demands action after ICE shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo


‘When ICE is on the ground, they kill’ Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 Houston residents are demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by an ICE agent on 7 July.

Am I going to get a bullet to the head for being brown?” Follow the link to read more of Fabiola’s reporting ► https://ift.tt/tI8GVh5 #lorenzosalgadoaraujo #iceshooting #ice #texas #houston #donaldtrump #massdeportations #trump
