Add £15billion to the Nat’l debt? - The UK can do it without blinking. But know this: they could add £15-£30billion to pension payments without blinking too. UK is self financing and can’t ever run out of £s. So why won’t they do it? What stops them? Evil? Or stupid?

Israel has dropped almost 30,000 bombs and shells on Gaza in 100 days, eight times more than the US aimed at Iraq in six years of war.

It’s not war. It’s genocide.

Just 3 days ago 11 children went to a play ground in al-Maghazi refugee camp 🇵🇸

All were murdered in an air strike by Israeli 🇮🇱 drones

You may not know as there was hardly a mention in mainstream media

The media is complicit in genocide.

Some random thoughts, inspired by Columbia students, in no particular order:

1. In its 7th month, the Gaza Genocide is already a major event in world history. The story of this decade cannot be told without Gaza, and this may yet prove true for this century.

2. All the

There is much wrong with this MMT line, as much there is right. Yes, MMT needs to be known about by everyone, in order to get past the brainwashing.

However, the idea we should not tax the rich because we do not need the money, is not what MMT says at all.

'Oh Jeremy Corbyn - The Big Lie' is on youtube now.
It shows how a populist left uprising was put down by the UK state and its corrupt puppet media.

Sickening to see Sunak's latest attack on a section of British society with his 'sick note culture'

Will Starmer confront him and stand shoulder to shoulder with the most vulnerable in our society?

Checking some of the QTs on my most viral tweet ever and most are either people who don’t know the difference between assets and liabilities, think a bank=govt, think I’m an idiot or genius or is brainwormed by taxpayerism… BUT I had 3 legit QTs from real economists… 1/3

It's not about the exact outcome. It is about prediction of 'hyperinflation' while 'deflation' happened.

You are hilariously wrong. Because you don't understand money, banking, inflation, and economics.

Living in a fantasy world with a comical methodology(Praxeology) won't help

At the end of WWII, Australia went for full employment & nearly didn't sign Bretton Woods as full employment wasn't built in. Unemployment from early 50s to mid 70s only once went above 2%. We should do it again, & do ecological sustainability too.

We could lead the way again.

So get this: the world's coral reefs disappear at 1.5C.
We are past 1.5C now and heading for 2C.

THEY ARE DONE.

The point is not, 'OMG all those lovely colourful things we see on David Attenborough are going to go ...'

No. The point is 25% of the world's fish will

David Frost The Telegraph Never been elected, and negotiated the worst deal possible for the uk, then flounced off. Why does anyone need to hear from this man? Total soul vacuum.

David Frost The Telegraph The biggest threat is your government. They have stripped our country of everything worth while, and while claiming no magic money tree, have made sure billionaires are richer than ever. A complete disgrace.

David Frost The Telegraph Your solution includes protecting free speech and not allowing intimidation *and* kicking everyone who disagrees with you out of the Conservative Party.

I’m not sure it is a logically consistent plan. What do you think?
