1. Debt is just a number on a spreadsheet for currency issuing governments. This means that austerity policies are political not anything to do with having a ‘black hole in the finances’. Knowing that you can point it out to others - i.e., people who vote.

1. Tax revenues don't pay for services. All government spending is new money. There can be no tax revenue unless the government has first spent money into the economy.
The UK Government is the monopoly issuer of net new UK pounds.

1. I keep reading critics use the phrase 'MMTers believes that governments can just create more money' - I have to correct this. It's not a belief. For currency issuing government like the US and UK they literally can create infinite amounts of money. It's a fact not a belief.

1. Those in poverty are denied the opportunity to reach their potential; to have healthy, fulfilled, productive lives. The economy misses their creativity, their contribution. Governments, with unlimited finance - let those lives be wasted. Spend to realise that potential.

1. My reply to a comment about the NHS's being underfunded.
And there’s no need for this underfunding. The UK Government runs what’s called a Fiat currency - i.e. it issues the currency and it is not backed up by a physical commodity.

Why else have citizens 'never had it so bad' since the 1980s? I'll tell you why: neoliberal economics. It's not really a branch of economics it's a branch of politics. It has resulted in greater poverty, greater inequality and a planet that will kill you.

Just wait til you find out what the BBC have been saying about Scotland ...
Is anyone surprised?
For years the BBC’s coverage of the EU has been too negative.
Between 2001 and 2016, the BBC’s coverage of the EU veered between disinterest and EU-bashing.
Reports about the EU were so negative that Brussels came off worse than Putin.
