The entire country is still being jerked around by internal @Conservatives psychodrama - from the Brexit referendum to Sunak via endless destruction and chaos it's all, ALL been about them. Not one second of it about us, about the country, about the people. Not. One. Second.
@AcWailing as an economist I never had the slightest clue why that made any sense as an economic policy? Do firms ever say the way to get profitable is drop all debt that we used to finance the building of the factory so we can't build the factory? Stupid
@fownhopeboy Norway has a giant sovereign wealth fund and Thatcher threw it all down the toilet
@D_Blanchflower Why didn’t they invest, when they closed down industries in the 80s, when they got one off revenues from selling off utilities, when NS oil revenues were at their height. Because they bribed their supporters with tax cuts, to keep them in power
@AcWailing No such thing as h as a structural deficit they just made that up as an excuse for cutting public spending and killing poor people
serious question why didnt the government do this in 2016? Build 10000 new schools and refurbish all the roofs Build 100 new hospitals Fund the universities and give them 100 billion research monies to help with use of AI/semi conductors etc Invest in libraries swimming pools,…
Why didn’t the Tories borrow a trillion pounds in 2016 very cheaply and rebuild the nhs and the infrastructure and build a million houses. Restart sure start fund the universities rebuild the crumbling schools build 100 new hospitals. Oh silly me they were engaged in something…
@Musc1esbri2 @PaulEmbery Exactly, and that’s why their Brexit is in trouble. They never had consensus for whatever Brexit would look like.
@PaulEmbery It is up to leavers to show the benefits of Brexit as promised. And herein lies the problem. They promised everything to everyone A bigger state to lexiters A smaller state to conservatives More migration from RoW to ethnicity minorities Less migration full stop to others
Over 4,100 people who have developed a sociopathic disorder when confronted with the word 'migrant' have been flushed out by @Penyrheolgerrig's alarming twitter poll. This is not normal behaviour. This is the damage being done by the propaganda, to us, not the migrants. To us.
mmm teaching year nines, facing a vicious Ofsted inspection, parents, middle management, senior management, a corporate academy CEO and ridiculous criticism from people who went to public schools all while dealing with cancer can't think of anything I'd want to do more🙄 #r4today
'Incels' are not 'disenfranchised'. Do you mean disempowered or something like that? I'd be interested in the thought you want to express. It's an important topic. @BBCRadio4
New: we were told Brexit would make food cheaper. Next week, border checks on EU imports begin which will make food more expensive. Analysis for @itvnews shows the government’s BTOM could add £8.50 a month to the average household shop. Full story 👇 itv.com/news/2024-04-2…
How many episodes have there been of Michael Mosley's Just One Thing? I feel like I've heard about 100 so that's Just 100 Things innit. And counting. 🙄
The most significant man in the world at the moment is not Biden, Putin or Xi Jin Ping. It's not Guterres. It's Antony Blinken. He seems to be running the entire show and all our futures appear to rely on what he achieves or doesn't.
The joy of explaining to PhD students that their entire supervisory team is now at risk of redundancy. 😡😡
The policing of those protests in the US is absolutely unhinged.

Just a correction. The quote posted above is adapted from the Turkish proverb 'when an ox enters a palace it does not become a king but the palace turns into a barn.' It was adapted and reworked into the quote above by @ElizabethBangs. Something I was unaware of before sharing.

Somerset Capital Management founded by Jacob Rees-Mogg owns £105m of Infosys shares. Infosys is owned by Rishi Sunak's wife. Infosys has been given more than £2bn in contracts by Rishi Sunak. The corruption is unlimited and everyone is in on it.

@D_Blanchflower @_benmark Quite. Spending on infrastructure is an investment that generates positives over time and can be written down on the books. Spaffing it up a wall is not a term from any economics textbook I know of. Or will that be defined in Vol 2 of the Liz Truss story?
@fownhopeboy Norway has a giant sovereign wealth fund and Thatcher threw it all down the toilet
@D_Blanchflower Why didn’t they invest, when they closed down industries in the 80s, when they got one off revenues from selling off utilities, when NS oil revenues were at their height. Because they bribed their supporters with tax cuts, to keep them in power
@D_Blanchflower @MikeJack1974 Long term thinking about improving the live of all the people that live in the UK is not the Tory way. They are not patriots
@MikeJack1974 indeed
@D_Blanchflower That would have meant thinking about doing things for the benefit of the country rather than themselves and they couldn't possibly do that.
@AcWailing No such thing as h as a structural deficit they just made that up as an excuse for cutting public spending and killing poor people
@ElizabethBangs @StrumstrumStrum @BBCNews Feel the same ....
