This week's lies, damn lies, and green shoots award goes to Brad Olsen (via Susan Edmunds). This is a particularly disgusting use of data - like so bad that the article should be removed. Let's have a look... [🧵 1/n]

MSD have been delaying their December benefits data release due to data processing issues but they shared headline numbers yesterday. If the data is correct, this is a huuuge increase. We now have nearly 1 in 7 adults on a working age benefit. Link in ALT. (🧵 1/n)

Always worth a re-post when we get an update.
Amazes me that Govt get away with saying they have done anything notable to 'tame inflation'. Our peak was relatively low (we weren't exposed to global gas prices 😌), and, over the last year, Govt decisions have demonstrably increased CPI.

Watching Govt budget strategy fail miserably in real time. Utterly predictable...
Govt constrain investment into a downturn (2023/24) ➡️ prolongs downturn and suppresses tax take ➡️ deficits go up again (2024/25). Worth a quick look at what's going on here. [🧵1/n]

"This will make education inaccessible to most low to medium income families.School Board of trustees will be accountable to share holders instead of students, teachers and Parents.Local communities will have very little say in what happens to their school"

Quick explainer. If Govt create and spend $190bn into existence (as they do) and they then collect revenue of $170bn, and destroy it, that leaves $20bn of what Treasury call 'residual cash' in the econony. (🧵 1/n)

Phew. The seasonal pick-up in jobs in early November is finally here (image 1). We might even get a December peak above last year. We still look a couple of months off actual annual job growth though (image 2). The '34 days' series is the more complete data used for the official stats.
