Neoliberalism is deeply ideological, anti-human & inhumane. It cannot acknowledge environmental degradation & climate change because that requires State Intervention & Regulation. Regrettably, it is also ‘undead’ because it favors the self-interest of the wealthy. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

Do wonder when journalists will ask the right questions on macroeconomics. Perhaps do a little research into Keynes. Stop asking how it will be paid for. Start asking about ROI, forget GDP, think GINI We use all the wrong metrics

Tory legacy. Fire stations in England “falling apart”, Funding down by £1bn, call outs up by a fifth. Firefighter numbers down by a quarter in seven years, 11,000 full-time staff. Population increased but lack of investment in infrastructure, tax cuts for the rich. Readying for privatisation?

Government should adopt Keynes: whatever we can do we can afford This approach could include a government job guarantee, and certainly should re-fund local councils to deliver what local communities want to see in their places and spaces

Government spending is always a political choice Has absolutely nothing to do with availability of £, as the government tells to Bank of England to create the £ it wants to spend Taxpayers money is a useful myth, as is the Q how to pay for it

This is absolutely correct. Every spending/investment decision of government is a political, not a fiscal choice We need a balanced economy

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want. In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive potential, but we need to start now. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

UK public purse to make £10bn loss from £45bn bailout of NatWest bank in 2008. Govt selling last of its shares, could have used it to fund SME/infrastructure investment. Boss who crashed the bank gets £600k a year pension. Bailouts for the City, benefit cuts for the poor.

I’m waiting for the penny to drop that a wealth tax is good. Not to pay for anything as tax doesn’t do that, (how? Well government always spends first, then taxes after) but to reduce inequality

Particularly when they simply do not understand that tax has a different function - to remove £ from the economy, reduce inequality, influence behaviour and validate currency - it doesn’t pay for anything.
