My first book, *Unpaid: the Past, Present and Future of Wage Theft*, will be published by @VersoBooks in May, 2026! This book is born from experience. It is written for anyone who is dissatisfied with the capitalist wage system. UK pre-order: waterstones.com/book/unpaid/…

Pleasure to be part of the journey for the brilliant first book by @MattColeWorks at @vocebooks - excoriating, educative and hopeful as he lays out how wage theft happens and how we might get past it. Everyone needs to read this book.

Hard to think of a greater honor than to be considered The Economist‘s intellectual enemy #1. My work is “intellectual ballast” for the largest number of Americans since 1975 wanting government to “improve the standard of living” of the poor, cut their costs, raise their incomes and stop AI from wrecking society, they say. Dream of an endorsement. Thank you @TheEconomist!

“The battle between oligarchic forces and democratic forces is the battle of the 21st century.” On Downstream, French economist @Gabriel_Zucman explains that billionaires save almost 100% of their income – so their wealth grows faster than everyone else. “If we don’t break that spiral, we’re going to see more wealth at the top and more concentration of power,” he explains. A century ago, the world invented progressive income taxation. Now, Zucman argues, we need progressive wealth taxation. Watch the full conversation between Zucman and @AaronBastani on our YouTube.

Bring back Corbyn's 'cyber communism'

Today is launch day for my book! I’ll be talking about the history of wages and property as well as the future of unpaid labour tonight at Peer in London. shorturl.at/ZW8f0

Wage theft dwarfs all other types of theft by billions! That's why I wrote a book about it. @hasanthehun you might be interested? versobooks.com/en-gb/product…

Wage theft is a multi billion dollar scam that impacts everyone from cleaners to lawyers and the state still protects employers. Check out my interview with @AvaSantina about my new book “Unpaid: the past present and future of wage theft”. Out May 26th with @VersoBooks

Very excited that this is finally coming out!

The Shadow Home Secretary is on @BBCRadio4 calling for people to have citizenship revoked and be deported without committing a crime if they express anti-white views. And he’s barely challenged on this extremist view.

Turkiye has issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials, accusing them of 'genocide and crimes against humanity' over Israel’s war on Gaza aje.io/uedq77

Definitely deserves more than a repost or QT. Congratulations and I can't wait to read the book!

No engagement on this post at all. On Bluesky, I had loads of comments, and reposts.

Watch as I publish a book that is personal and political, dealing with a particular and universal wrong that the vast majority of the people of the world experience. Watch as it gets resoundingly ignored by the mainstream media. Dropping May 2026. penguinrandomhouse.com/books…

This is getting increasingly bizarre.

sorry @ZackPolanski but if you want to make this a fairer society with broadly shared prosperity you must waste your time being condescended to by Britain’s most tedious YouTubers about why that’s neither desirable nor possible

Taking a single journal article by a history PhD student and its finding that 10% of people in C19 Ancoats were middle class, then using this to say that Engels was ‘taking liberties’ in a headline on the fifth article on the Guardian homepage … those are some real real moves

These people are so delusional. Let’s assume this isn’t a wildly disingenuous claim in itself. So what? Grok 4 does nothing for most people. AI literally reduces brain activity and consumes vast amounts of energy and water. It is a bubble that is ruining the world.

An investigation has revealed employers who fail to pay wages simply get away with it. Wage theft should be a criminal matter, argues @MattColeWorks. novaramedia.com/2025/10/16/e…

A shocking investigation has revealed that employers who fail to pay wages in the UK simply get away with it. Out of more than 4,800 firms fined since 2016, just 109 have actually paid. While the government has levied £9.6m in fines, it has recovered only £95,000, less than 1%. It’s time to make wage theft a criminal matter, argues @MattColeWorks.
