#GMB why does Reform get a colour on the count board yet The Green Party are lumped in ā€˜other’. They’ve both got 4 seats. It’s a huge win for Greens! Not all English people are hard right racists… šŸ™„

Not one word about The Green Party and its unprecedented, dramatic results. The BBC can't get enough of Farage, but simply blanks the most progressive force in UK politics.

The UK is a self-funding, currency issuing state. It LITERALLY creates billions of Ā£s from thin air every single day - without technical limit. Please, will people like Jonathan Powell stop lying to us about ā€˜fiscal problems’. The UK cannot ever be short of Ā£s. Talk sense.

Astounding how many see the obvious bs in the lie that our govt ā€˜has no money’, yet the epiphany is fleeting and gets forgotten as soon as the ā€˜tax-payer’ argument becomes useful again. Until progressives grasp the insights of MMT, we will continue to let austerity off the hook.

THIS šŸ‘‡šŸ» is the question everyone should ask themselves - and while you’re at it, ask why none of our media giants, not one journo, will ask: ā€œHow much will you have to put up taxes to pay for it, how many services will you cut?ā€ The UK is a self funding state we’re being had.

Labour to blame Tories for tough spending decisions | The Guardian Really important as many of those in the know call this bullshit out on as many forums as possible. The UK is self financing - Reeves could ease poverty tomorrow with zero cost. Learn MMT theguardian.com/politics/artic…

It’s really not that surprising Tim Leunig after all, we left the gold standard half a century ago and Paul Johnson totally missed that. You might do better to put your faith in proper economists who dropped the ā€˜black hole’ Grimm folk-story decades ago.

I have never seen such an appalling abrogation of the duty of responsibility to voters by our so-called political representatives and the MSM. The two-party system is utterly broken, entrenched with neoliberal ideology, and corporate lobbying, for what? To replace collective

Until the left takes economics as seriously as racism, sexism, ageism, class and gender we’ll never get the society we want. Talk of ā€˜windfalls’ ā€˜black holes’ ā€˜borrowing’ and ā€˜taxing to pay for’ is the language of austerity slavery. Until leading politicians learn that they… 1/

The UK gov’t can never suffer a ā€˜black hole’ in its finances. It ultimately makes or is responsible for the creation of all the money we use. It alone, then, can never run out of money. Those claiming otherwise are just pretending there’s a reason for Austerity 2.0. There isn’t.

Read the image below CAREFULLY. →Government debt is not a problem = correct way of thinking about the macroeconomy, government spending and taxation! →Government debt is a problem = mainstream economics nonsense and the wrong way to look at government spending.

This is the man pulling Starmer’s strings. But did you know that in his youth, Morgan McSweeney lived on an Israeli settlement? I’ve been doing some digging, and I can’t believe what I’ve discoveredā€¦šŸ§µ

They hounded Angel Rayner out of office over her house. They seem to have forgotten about Farage's and are hounding him into office. #Farage #MoneyLaundering
