Modern Monetary Theory describes how money works in the real economy.

In this video, I share 12 essential questions to challenge politicians when they deny economic reality — and ensure the power of money is used for people, not for the wealthy few.

The Bank of England has issued a stark new Financial Stability Report — and beneath the cautious language lies a clear message: the global risk environment has deteriorated sharply. A systemic crisis now looks more like “when” than “if”.

There are thousands of trained doctors in the UK right now — unemployed. Not because they’re unnecessary, but because the government refuses to fund the NHS roles we desperately need.

If we have the doctors, we can fund the doctors. So why won’t they?

Ten years on the UK is still mostly talking to itself about EU relations (from NS Morning Call).

Let me know when any politicians start talking about far greater mobility / freedom of movement, because that will show them thinking about the other side.

Rachel Reeves has given us a masterclass in how NOT to run a budget.

We got leaks, U-turns, political theatre, but almost no real economic planning. In this video, I explain what’s gone wrong and how we could get a rational budget.

We deserve better than this.

Rachel Reeves' Budget was a damp squib, delivering austerity by stealth. There was no vision, and no investment. There was just fear of the City of London. In this video, I ask why the Chancellor has surrendered economic power to finance. youtu.be/6pTpT_uB_4M?...

Rachel Reeves says her budget delivers stability. The Office for Budget Responsibility's charts tell a very different story. High interest rates, low investment, falling profitability, rising unemployment and no improvement in household incomes.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?
