Telegraph journalist Sophia Money-Coutts, of the Coutts dynasty, says young people have it too good.

Paul Nowak isn't having it.

I hear there's a debate about a certain superpower's government-subsidized overcapacity that far outstrips domestic demand and that is flooding global markets and stoking conflict.

Glad the issue is finally on the table.

The distance between each bombed WCK & the other shows beyond any doubt how the IDF took their time to deliberately & surgically eliminate the entire crew.

The 2nd car was bombed after it rescued the survivors of the 1st, & the 3rd after it rescued the survivors from the 2nd!

My university has a partnership with BAE Systems, one of Europe's largest arms manufacturers. Right now BAE is producing weapons with which to genocide Palestinians. Please sign this letter to let BAE and Lancaster University know this isn't acceptable.

Rare for a BBC headline to need *two* footnotes.

1) The record they're refering to goes back just two decades (when ONS made adjustment to national earnings statistics). Go back just a couple more & pay growth was much faster than today.

2) Real wages aren't rising at all.

Ofc my experiment here isn't perfect, but it underlines important point: broad voter permission structure is there for Net Zero, even the difficult bits.

It's not a blank cheque. But we aren't the US. It's the job of politics to protect and bolster this consensus, and it can.

A lot of social transition talk on the Left still assumes we're acting into a climactically stable world. The climate crisis is mentioned, of course, but often only instrumentally as a justification for why we need a transition or revolution in the first place. 1/3

Dear Twitter, what could a group of Climate Jury/Assembly members do after the #citizensassembly has finished? Please share your ideas here and help the Blackburn group decide what they do next? docs.google.com/document/d/1vu…

This is misleading from Sam Coates Sky and shouldn’t be happening post-BBC review. We are not running out of money in any meaningful sense. We need to make politically difficult distributional choices. Those are not remotely equivalent.

🔥New paper🔥

Central banks needn't generate unemployment (or a recession) to offset inflationary supply shocks.

Monetary-fiscal coordination levers ought to be considered as macro stablization tools🧰, our results hold for NK+PK models.

The UK economy is running hot in the same way that a 25 year old car which hasn’t seen the inside of garage in a decade and had a good part of its cooling system stripped out in order to save on the HP payments and “take back control” runs hot when doing 50 on the motorway.

It's been a lively week on Twitter and I thought I should say more about WWII-style price controls across the entire economy. Doing that for our time strikes me as mad and I haven't seen anyone advocate it. We are living in an age of overlapping emergencies, not total war. 1/

This is bad. This is really bad. Ocean temperatures are experiencing a 'rapid surge.' This is unprecedented. The numbers are literally off the charts. We will explain what this all means. (1/11) 🧵

Bank of England 2014: drawing vertical money supply lines is wrong, farewell Milton Friedman.
