Oh well, then. Just take it. Do you think you might need Iceland as well? You may as well. Just to be sure. 🤦‍♂️

@garyseconomics.bsky.social Goes on question time. Suggests a tax on wealth. Fiona Bruce and Camilla Tominey cheerlead for the rich with the “it doesn’t work” mantra. They even lie about Norway scrapping their wealth tax. France did amend their half arsed version… poverty has slightly increased.

Don’t get me wrong, Brexit was a disaster for the UK, socially and economically. But anyone thinking that our economic problems would be solved on return are just plain wrong.

Cookies, algorithms, etc do not exist to make the user experience better. They primarily exist to make tech companies money. And sometimes, like social media times, they can often be a straight up pain in the arse.

The problem I have with employers is that, for me, work and sleep are like mac and cheese. If I’m supposed to work, I need to be able to sleep. And I don’t mean 7 hours at night. I mean whenever my brain says: “Hmm… I see your problem there. I need time to process a solution.”

Spanish speakers want to speak Spanish in the US: MAGA: “They should go back to where they came from.” Russian speakers want to speak Russian in Ukraine: MAGA: “Ukraine should become Russia.”

Authoritarianism will not save your children from poverty. It will only make it more difficult to overcome.

Labour: we only have two choices. We either cut spending or increase borrowing. Response: you could put a tax on wealth? Labour: as I say, we only have two choices…

It’s fine! She’ll be able to just cut public spending. As long as the bond holders get their money from somewhere, right?

That idea that we can have super rich elite in society who will back off and allow everyday workers to own assets is a super rich elite fairy tale.

What the rich want you to believe is that they are special. If we tax them, they’ll all leave… And what we’ll all do is sit around twiddling our thumbs rather than fill the gap that’s left.

This is good if you want an example of the sort of cognitive dissonance that envelops the mind of the rich. You reason up to the point where everyone is benefiting and don’t bother following to the conclusion where the rich win big. Well done @garyseconomics.bsky.social youtu.be/4yohVh4qcas?...

The current UK Labour government pays out over £100 billion annually in interest on bonds to the wealthiest people in the country. Those people are buying up all of the country’s assets. Yet Labour are telling you that taking £5 billion from people with disabilities is fiscally responsible.

But the cost of continually funnelling much more money toward the richest people in the country is absolutely fine. This guy is a scammer.

The problem with Donald Trump’s attempts to negotiate with Putin is that he still doesn’t seem to understand that Putin has always considered Ukraine to be part of Russia. The ONLY response is to oppose that narrative.

This is Liz Kendall. She’s this generation’s counter Robin Hood. She takes from the poor to give to the rich and she does it while insisting that it’s good for them.

The problem with centre-right politics is that it has run out of money and it’s now reduced to penny pinching from those whom the state was set up to protect.

We live in strange times: Billionaires threaten the world with abject poverty. Authoritarianism is popular, democracy is undermined. The rule of law is subject to the will of the powerful. And Glasgow Rangers fans assert they support the best club in Scotland while Celtic win all the trophies.

Wait! What if Trump thinks the ‘Great’ in ‘The Great Depression’ means it was good? It would certainly give ‘Make America Great Again’ a new meaning.

Don’t you just hate it when people refuse to acknowledge their mistakes and choose to double down rather than back down? We are so lucky that politicians who make decisions that could potentially ruin the lives of everyday people aren’t like that.

The media should stop talking about Trump threatening to place tariffs on his allies and start talking about his attempts to place the western world under economic sanctions as punishment for opposing authoritarianism.

It really is fortunate that US arms and intelligence to Ukraine have been stopped. Now, instead of killing each other, the Russian and North Korean troops will be able to overwhelm the Ukrainians and they’ll shake hands and have laugh about it down the pub.

Let’s be clear: The US provided arms and intelligence to Ukraine so that it could defend its citizens from being slaughtered. Donald Trump has stopped that aid under the guise of saving lives. Guess what the immediate result has been?
