I’d never thought of that!
Tankies.
Now that’s what I call sport!
It bugs me when people grow Spanish bluebells which get into the wild and fuck up the ecosystem.
Why are you wearing the same shoes?
Surely cats are a greater menace?
I support the AI women!
How about seppuku?
Please note - the idea that tax pays for anything is a far right narrative that has become “common sense”. All central government expenditure is from newly created money. Money is the one thing we are not short of
Framing it as an either/or choice is ideological and wrong.
It’s a category error.
Wondering now if there could have been Israeli pressure via the Epstein links?
Great interview with a great guy. Thanks to the two Steves.

Just checking 😉
Which one?
Deficits aren't the problem. They're how a currency issuer funds the future. Want full employment? Green transition? Universal healthcare? Stop asking "how do we pay for it." The real question: do we have the real resources and labor? If yes, sovereign currency makes it possible.

Neoliberalism is not the system, it’s an ideology that has gripped the politicians. Keynesian economics dominated before Thatcher and Raegan. Both are compatible with liberal democracy, as is MMT.
Neither the NHS, nor anything paid for by central government is funded by taxation. All government expenditure is from newly created money. Tax is not there to fund things.
But tea is so much better!
Chickens coming home to roost when war criminal Netanyahu’s war on Iran precipitates many shortages in the UK.

No, Amol Rajan, your stories do not concern "illegal migrants". They concern people in the UK abusing the system.

This is excellent
The BBC undercover investigation into false immigration claims is deeply irresponsible journalism. It does not highlight that exploitation by unregulated advisors occurs because legal aid was cut and the system is insane to navigate.
Richard Murphy brilliantly challenges Lord Roberson’s demands to cut welfare to pay for defence by going back to Keynes, whose economic genius steered us through two world wars.
It is brilliant. There is also an excellent documentary on Netflix about a (sort of) real life version of Queen’s Gambit. A female chess prodigy from Eastern Europe.
