I don't know which is worse. Is it the idea that you can borrow time, or the idea that the UK government borrows pounds sterling?

British liberals: "Zionism is nuanced and complicated, it means many things, it’s layered, it’s multitudes” Theodor Herzl, founder of Zionism: "Zionism is colonialism. We’re gonna kick out the Palestinians, ban them from employment, and take their homes. Britain, help us plz”

Incredible. I'm not a paid-up MMTer, but I understand its framework. It's based on the opposite - counter-inflationary fiscal spending policies limited by scalable real resources. Unless he's plain thick, this is a UK Berkeley Prof telling a barefaced lie on public media. #MMT
I have made a good-faith effort to learn from MMT and I can report that I learned nothing. If I was supposed to learn that a country that issues its own currency can inflate away its debt, I already knew that. (And I worry about that.)

We’ll be hearing a lot of “dial down the heat, let’s not be divisive, social media is bad” crap from Albanese and the rest of the establishment today. From the people who are good buddies with Trump, the world’s biggest bully

Aren't you all fucking tired of not even being an afterthought for the people whose Job & Purpose it is to be a Public Servant? Our entire Political & Media class are accelerating complete societal collapse & Burning the entire country to the ground, for Israel.
The country's on its fucking arse, Our bills are about to go up another 25 percent, but Mainstream British Broadcasting just floods their panels with all the worst cunts in Media, to shout "Antisemitism" & "Student Politics" over & over again, Until the clock runs out.

Penny Wong has been slammed for her glaring double standards: completely ignoring the thousands of protestors in Paris while somehow standing with imaginary ones in Iran. Absolute hypocritical trash!

El patrimonio de las 500 personas más ricas de Francia en 2009 era de 194 000 millones, lo que representaba entonces el 10 % del PIB. Hoy es suyo el 45 % del PIB. Casi la mitad de toda la riqueza de un país de 70M de personas la acaparan 500. Pero lo "insostenible" es lo tuyo.
Lo de Francia es sencillo: El Estado de Bienestar ya no es sostenible, demasiados pensionados que por los avances médicos viven ya muchísimo, demasiadas prestaciones sociales (Francia gasta más del 33% del PIB), un gasto público que supera el 50% del PIB...y una población reacia a entender que no es sostenible: no quieren tener hijos, tampoco quieren que les reduzcan prestaciones, tampoco aceptan que les eleven la jubilación, menos que despidan burócratas. Es un bucle, donde la deuda pública que sostenía mucho, ya se les disparó también

The attack on Helen Haines is simply abhorrent. Albanese said the constituents need to dial down the rhetoric, & blamed social media. Social media currently provides a voice, which previously only existed at the ballot box. Political duplicity has failed the constituents. @AlboMP

Europeans and Americans cannot tolerate the fact that it is no longer possible to humiliate and rob China as they did in the past. For this reason, they seek to smear the Chinese through lies and political gossip.
President Xi’s aim is to make the world dependent on China, while China depends on no one. Without a coalition of countries to counter it, he will succeed. thetimes.com/comment/columni…

That won't last long when the truth is finally revealed. One example: Does nobody realise how deeply Andy Burnham is involved in the scam that Freeports and SEZ's are costing taxpayers. He is not the squeaky clean politician he is being made out to be. Burnham has kept this quiet hasn't he - BlackRock's joint venture (JV) with the Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF), the UK's largest Local Government Pension Scheme. Announced in late March 2026, the partnership targets up to £1 billion in UK primary healthcare real estate (NHS-leased GP surgeries, primary care centres, and related facilities) by 2030.
Polls show Burnham is now the most popular party leader leftfootforward.org/2026/10/…

You don't need economic growth to pay for public services, public goods and public investment. You need your own currency (shared with other countries, like in the EMU, or not) and no constraints (fiscal rules and debt brakes) - plus a political class willing to serve citizens.

The Catholic church has a thing called Papal infallibility stating that the pope is preserved from the possibility of error when he teaches a doctrine of faith. It seems we now also have "economist infallibility" when it comes to the doctrine of faith in "economic growth" preserving neo-liberal economists from the possibility of error, ... & so we continue to grow, & grow, & grow, even as the earth crumbles under the crushing weight of their infallible ideology.

we did to a rich white American what we do to poor brown Palestinians every day and now we're dreadfully sorry from day one the lesson was : these dirty thieving zionist bastards are RACIST as fuck @BBC
I just called Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine, who was brutally attacked by violent rioters on Friday. As President of the State of Israel, I strongly condemn this outrageous and shocking violence, both the terrible attack on Heidi and other grave incidents of violence, such as what took place today in Taybeh. I expressed my deepest sorrow to Heidi and apologized for what she went through. The despicable behavior of the perpetrators of this attack does not represent the citizens or the values of the State of Israel. Israel is a democratic state governed by the rule of law, and it must act with full force against every form of violence. Each incident is being thoroughly investigated, and we await the findings. All government, security, and law enforcement authorities must use every means at their disposal to investigate thoroughly, apprehend these lawbreakers, and bring them to justice with the fullest extent of the law. On behalf of the entire nation, I wish Heidi good health and a speedy recovery.

In Albania the situation gets more hostile. The Police use 'Stun' grenades and rubber bullets against protesters, both of which can maim and kill. In return the protestors throw molotov cocktails at them.
