Apart from reading his wonderful books, chatting on Twitter about Strictly in the day, the other thing I have to thank @patricknessbooks.bsky.social for is introducing me to The Decemberists. I hope to be able to see them live in the UK one day.

Most people in the UK still believe in the power of royalty. And we accept that a knighthood is created from nothing with a tap of the King’s sword. Yet many refuse to accept that the government creates money in exactly the same way: by tapping a few keys on a keyboard. youtu.be/Nt-_qzKRI2Y?...

The former leader of Reform in Wales, Nathan Gill, has been convicted of taking bribes from Oleg Voloshyn to promote the interests of Putin - the leader Farage said he most admires.
Here’s Farage with Voloshyn’s wife.
If Gill had been a close associate of Jeremy Corbyn this might be bigger news.

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them
“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”
“But, but he was in UKIP”
“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”
So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

We’re told that government debt is spiralling out of control. Commentators scream “fiscal crisis!” But it isn't. High government debt is a sign of trust. People are desperate for the safety that only the government can provide. Debt is not a danger—it’s a deposit facility.

Trump is baselessly demonizing political opponents in an effort to silence critics and divide the nation into those who are with him and those who are against him.
We're about to witness the depths of MAGA's anti-democratic authoritarianism.
I'm hopeful most Americans will see this for what it is.

Some claim modern monetary theory (MMT) proves that tax doesn’t matter. They’re wrong. Tax is not about funding government spending—it’s about controlling inflation, managing the economy and sustaining democracy. In this video, I explain why without tax, MMT collapses.

Hi all. When I did my degree, post grad courses and all of my professional courses to enable me to do my job, I had to reference all of my peer reviewed sources. So, why are MPs allowed to get away without being checked the same way for doing their job. Just asking 😎
