The only acceptable Keynesianism to the Labour right is military / weaponised Keynesianism. Impossible to harness state capacity for jobs & infrastructure in eg the NHS, council housing, social care or education. But loadsa cash to funnel to arms manufacturers to build munitions that'll gather dust

scientists need to discover the exact level of wealth that causes this kind of derangement in people and let us tax the fuck out of anyone who gets to that boundary.

Please please please can we let the argument die that trans people have lost our rights because a few trans people were overzealous on Twitter?
Like I get Labour members want to defend their party, but it’s genuinely just incredibly insulting as well as incorrect.

We could have been not selling off & building new council houses all this time but Times readers you said no, no council houses. They bring the value of my home down. Only house price inflation for me

I suspect Starmer's epiphany at the existence of gay bashing is part of the Polanski Panic. Can't wait to see how else he's going to try and win back the queer vote before May...

All of this “woe is me my house is now really expensive and so a tax is unfair” stuff completely negates to acknowledge the implicit fact that the house owner has made an insane profit by doing absolutely nothing
Mumsnet is already on the case.

The bursting of the AI bubble will cause so much chaos, the scale of public anger against the industry will dwarf that faced by the banks in 2008.
They'll have to find someone to take the blame for all of it, a sin eater against whom all the public rage can be chanelled.
I hope it's Sam Altman.

Homeowners and aspiring homeowners are really resistant to any challenge to the idea that they should get to sit an indefinitely inflating asset, benefit from that inflation in the value and that the rest of us should just suffer the consequences.

Completely, and in my experience when removed from the immediate sugar rush of a right wing propaganda operation screaming in their ear all day, people tend to revert to at least an economically leftish median.
And that's why these papers still run despite making no money.

I get a surprisingly large number of responses saying “This is because the public are stupid” but for real, if that was the key issue, then it wouldn’t be necessary to constantly shitehouse people with the most misleading and inflammatory messages they can get away with. There would be no need.
It is IMO not possible to operate any kind of meaningful democracy when your national press is a joke and a travesty, but your mileage on that may vary. I think it’s incontestable that it is impossible to govern well and effectively, while being in hock to these pantomime clowns.
