On 4th May, six MPs sponsored the following Early Day Motion (EDM 1775):
That this House notes the findings of The Equality Trust that societies with smaller income differences between rich and poor have fewer health and social problems, such as teenage births, violence, mental illness and drug abuse; further notes that such societies have higher levels of trust between citizens and more social mobility; and therefore encourages the Government to promote policies that reduce income inequality.
So far 99 MPs have signed up.

I couldn't help but smile last night as Barcelona, the world's largest fan-owned club, outclassed and defeated Manchester United. United, a once proud club with a great tradition, are now owned by the Glazer family whose operations are based in "low-to-no-tax" Nevada and were bought in a highly-leveraged buyout a few years back.
