Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

So Osborne's guy basically saying we can't possibly change the status quo as it'll upset the bond markets. The same markets heavily influenced by large corps, the super rich and hostile nations, whom the status quo benefits so bountifully.
Debate today with a Labour MP on the economy.
Also with a former advisor to George Osborne.
Very striking how much Labour & the Tories agree on our economic system.
Time for change. Let's make hope normal again. Enjoy! 🙌🏼👇🏼

The new evidence is grim: Brexit has made Britain is smaller, poorer and less productive.
No wonder Reeves found a black hole in the budget. It’s been carved out by a decade of lost growth of 6-8% - a hit of £180-£240bn - that’s far worse than was predicted.
