A good way to save resources would be to close the OBR down (along with OFSTED) since they serve no useful purpose. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Lets tackle a fundamental holding the left back.

A Question.
If public services are brought up to scratch with increased funding, will this leave the public financially.

1. The same.
2. Worse Off.
3. Better Off.

Lets no longer shy away from this question.

The Labour government are drawing up plans of austerity. People will die. Again.

MMT shows this to be always a policy choice, not a financial one.

BUT. The left wing independent press REFUSE, point blank to accept MMT. They would rather us plebs be kept in the dark about it.

WHY?

This is why MMT is so important.....

The EU will insist that Iceland can *never* do what they did again.

Anyone remember what the EU did to Greece at this time?

Seeing lots of reports of how engagement here is far more than over there in X land.

This can only mean one thing - Musk changed the algorithm to demote tweets that did not fit with his ideology.

He has the AI resources to do it en mass, with Grok, etc.

Free speech is restricted on X.

These aren't the right wing calling for the election.

They are the pensioners who lost their WFA
They are the grads who are still in live changing debt.
They are the people who'd rather Labour not cozy up with black rock.

We *will* end up with Reform next time, if we don't hold labour to account.
Do you want to sign my petition?

They almost certainly wont. BUT, it does increase pressure on them to start doing the right thing, knowing that the public want them out.

I've signed.

Petition: Call a General Election
I would like there to be another General Election. I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election.

"Balance the books" is a complete fiction.

Hilarious if it wasn't used as the justification for which people living in poverty who are dying.

His entire premise for everything he's doing in government is built on an entire fiction. A fiction utilised around the world to push private capital.

This!

We are not a free market. Its was successive governments who made the economy we have today.
