Claire assumes there would be a hung parliament but as we don’t know what real democracy would look like there’s no evidence to underpin that bare assertion and it’s just one of many outcomes. There is no doubt though that it would be better than the current system. Your original point stands.

It’s a Janan Ganesh article. You should warn people of that. Evidence free and devoid of any counter evidence or considerations. Just his opinion, often utterly wrong.

I did not think about that although raw materials is where my mind goes questioning. Nevertheless I had forgotten the cardinal rule of double entry accounting.

What I don’t understand is how MMT would work vs other countries and what prices they would set in exchange rates for raw materials.

Yeah the clip is doctored. He mentioned Meadway just after it was cut off. Also Garry S is an economist unless one is a snob, in which case no one one doesn’t like is.

Can you do some kind of newsletter on this– I suspect I’m not the only one never to have heard of it.

Yes. I wonder whether we could see such a flag and add another one next to it, say, the EU one. Thus being inclusive not exclusive. Think they would like that?

This is exactly what I see as a company secretary. For 4 companies. The compliance and moving people around is much more onerous and so Ds are dropping off.

It is likely Keynesian’s will disagree with you. However, your essential point is that spending more on the military is necessary and you will appreciate that that is a contentious opinion when the existing budget is mis-spent on white elephants like exclusive-fighter jet VTOL aircraft carriers.

Let’s accept your premise and ignore what Keynes said. How is it that we can always find money for bombs, or is it the case that increased military spending is also unaffordable- presumably it must be.

The filing of costs needs to take place from memory 24 hours prior to the hearing. The recoverable costs are capped, a few years ago that was £750.

This could be Mcsweeny. He’s been gunning for her for a while owing to her being a woman and slightly left. Get rid of her and usher in the favoured child Streeting by leaking things which, in their right wing world, make her look bad.

Hey Richard did you see one of the stories in the FT today: “Tax dodging by rich could be ‘much greater than thought’, says UK audit office” Someone has been saying something similar for a while now…

The evidence in this area is at best thin.
The whole thing smells like a moral panic.
It started perhaps with the book the anxious generation- debunked here and podcast series is great if a little US focused: m.youtube.com/watch?v=sQBM...

Polishing a turd would be a more apt way of describing this purported defence of a policy change that is pretty cruel. Fundamentally, the author is wrong about how these payments are made and how to qualify for them, as others have already said.

Camilla Cavendish non? A bona fide tory.

Camilla, the author of the piece, is a tory and served under Cameron. So, yes, in so far as centrism is right wing (it is). Problem is those political "outsiders" are nothing of the sort (e.g reform) AND are thieves and charlatans to boot.

It isn't really, because in the same data its pretty clear that if you compare the tory vote in 2019 and the tory vote in 2023 it collapsed.
That vote did not go to Labour, because their vote went down too or if it did it didn't do so in great numbers. Almost all polls since support this conclusion

No it seems to me the person is making a perfectly legitimate point. Labour lost votes but won vote share because the tories stayed at home.
