On the morning of his election, Kier welcomed the endorsement of the Sun.

If anybody is interested in what a Band 2 student loan looks like… this is it!

I am having around £2,000 a year added at 6.2% in interest. We really were misled, and ultimately sold out by successive governments, paying an extra 9% tax than everybody else.

We need to be telling people that people are “deluded” for believing we still live in an electoral democracy.

Zack, I think you’re going down the right lines in trying to address the issue of financial/bond markets, but I also don’t think it’s going far enough.

Our governments can’t seem to govern; only a mass union movement & natural resource wealth strategy can put the fear of god into the markets.

I am surprised Griffin didn’t give in as he was desperate to become mainstream

Hence, people like Carlson and Fuentes are considered fringe by both factions

I know. The far-right has 2 main factions depending on which race they hate the most, Muslims or Jews.
Tucker Carlson seems to hate Muslims and Jews.

I do find the left’s relationship with the far-right interesting.

Many won’t work with eachother but will be happy to form alliances with people like Tucker fucking Carlson 🤣

Celebrate now but beware…

Tidesz are a centre-right party, meaning they won’t solve inequality, and what we know about populists is that they can get reelected despite poor records in office because living standards continue to fall.

A consensus to reform the neoliberal EU is a solution to this!

Hungary has chosen Europe.

Europe has always chosen Hungary.

A country reclaims its European path.

The Union grows stronger.

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer has congratulated Magyar Péter after Viktor Orbán lost Hungary’s Parliamentary election

"This is an historic moment, not only for Hungary, but for European democracy"

Big up the people of Hungary 🇭🇺

Wasn’t this years ago now?

One thing we can do however is make ourself less reliant on international markets.

E.g. while most of the western world operated in these constraints with austerity, and in turn gave more power to the people that destroyed our economies, China, with their NATIONAL RESOURCE WEALTH, were shielded.

I have seen Zack say things like “Well we just need a direction in which to go and the bond markets won’t be spooked”.

The bottom line is that the bond markets want to get paid, and they are amoral about this. They don’t care of equality implications or material conditions for anybody else.

This is not democracy, this is oligarchy, this is kleptocracy, this is end stage capitalism.

People like Zack Polanski, Jeremy Corbyn etc believe we can address inequality through radical change as a ‘social democracy’. In reality, capital is now too powerful within these constraintsz

We all laughed (although we felt the impact of this) of Liz Truss’ economic disaster because a Tory had fell flat on their face.

But do we seriously think if we try to address inequality within a neoliberal system, the markets won’t destroy the leadership?

The problem with the UK’s left is that they are deluded.

They are not deluded in the sense that we deserve to publicly own natural monopolies, or that we deserve better pay.

They are deluded because they think still we live in a democracy, ruled by governance. We are not; we are ruled by markets

I think you’re under an illusion we live in a democracy. We all laughed at Liz truss because it happened to a Tory. If anybody tries to do anything bold, the bond vigilanties will crash the economy at the snap of a finger.

Boom! All of a sudden I’m more left wing from you, end stage capital wins..

I think he’s wrong. The vast majority of older people in this country have voted away our futures to protect their status as the people who landed on their feet by being born in the best time to be alive in human history.

Pedro Sanchez, Spanish PM,

"And I say to the right and the far-right, that they cannot be supporting those who set the world on fire and then complain about the smoke caused by that fire"

"You can't have your cake and eat it too"

A reminder that this is the same "unhinged" war and President the Daily Mail has spent weeks berating Keir Starmer for not joining and following

If reform ever do get in, I’m going to ask all people I’m seeing saying “Labour are just as bad as reform” if they still believe it.

Just a simple reminder that this is the second time they made him president

2 things can be true at once.

Daily Mail headline says "Drill, Ed, Drill"

I’m looking at you @rory-stewart.bsky.social

Uni Thesis In response to many requests, I have uploaded my Economics Masters thesis for people to read. This thesis was written in the 2018/19 during the second year of my two year course at Oxford. Nowadays…

@garyseconomics.bsky.social pointed out his uni thesis in one of his videos so I thought I’d give it a read.

I found it quite compelling. For anybody trying to claim he is “not an economist”, I’d encourage them to read it too…

I feel like on the “left” (hate using that term), we are charged with changing the world while the “right” only need to preserve it.

But is the choice merely to try and beg capitalists for charity or a revolution?

Could mass education be a program to hang our hats on?
