Nearly 4 years since the yield curve inverted and we never got a recession. In fact, 6 months after the inversion we got a historic bull run. I took so much crap at the time for arguing that MMT understands rates better than the mainstream, but it turned out MMT was right.

I tried to FOI this app, which the Department said it built to track job provider punishments. It turns out it doesn't exist, and they've lied to the Commonwealth Ombudsman crikey.com.au/2026/02/27/ric…

Great call out by Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore AO on the erosion of our hard-won civil liberties. Put this right in front of all those lousy State Premiers, who are all too eager to sharply intrude on our democratic rights to assemble & protest; @chrisminnsmp Anthony Albanese

"Austerity has scarred the UK for the last 14 years. If it wants to finally break free, then it’s time for a radical new approach. And that starts with rethinking how government finances work." #LearnMMT newstatesman.com/politics/green…

MMT: 40.7% (+27.5) Thatcherism: 28.7% (+14.7) Thatcherism with a human face: 25.4% (-25.3) Neoliberal: 1.9% (-6.0) Libertarian: 1.8% (-2.1) 😉

Congratulations to Workers Party of Britain and Your Party for the maturity to put aside their differences, and unite behind the most likely anti-austerity winner here. This approach will end the dominance of austerity-obsessed Tories, Farage, and Tory-lite Labour Party parties.

Plumber, socialist, anti-racist, champion of working class communities… watch Hannah Spencer’s victory speech here. “We are sick of our hard work making other people rich”. Massive blow to Starmer’s genocidal “Labour” party.

U.S. citizens are traveling to Havana for a new breakthrough treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Clinical trials show that, unlike any other medication, Cuba’s NeuralCIM not only stabilizes patients, but in more than half of cases it actually reverses many Alzheimer’s symptoms.

Ha. No I've not slept a wink yet and done a LOT of interviews. What's keeping me going? The fact we took on the billionaire donors - and our local plumber won! The movement is building. 🚀 Join.greenparty.org.uk

Thomas Sankara explained: "You have to counter a system with a system, an organization with an organization, not simply individuals full of goodwill". This is a mistake many of us continue to make. If we are not thinking in terms of building and changing systems, then we aren't

It’s always better to build a fence at the top of a cliff than to have an ambulance at the bottom. Preventive health is better and cheaper than caring for people after they get preventable diseases like melanoma. The Allan state govt must not defund VicHealth.

This is the very question I put to the Aged Care Minister in Question Time two weeks ago. Isn’t a computerised assessment system which cuts support for vulnerable Australians, causing distress and suffering, just another form of Robodebt? abc.net.au/news/2026-02-2…

“Melbourne man Graham Crossan has advanced motor neurone disease and cannot eat, talk or breathe unassisted. He's been denied funding for high-level care due to a new algorithm for assessing aged care funding.”

This new QJE paper concludes that the macroeconomic costs of climate change are far greater than earlier estimates suggested. It finds that a 1°C rise in global temperatures reduces world GDP by over 20%.

I am a diplomatic aide in the Sultanate of Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. My job is logistics. When two countries that cannot speak to each other need to speak to each other, I book the rooms. I prepare the briefing materials. I make sure the water glasses are the right

In absence of an imminent threat to security of US & Israel, the armed attacks on Iran are illegal under international law. The Iranian regime is a vicious theocracy which has caused huge trauma to its people. But that isn’t a reason for a breach of Iran’s sovereignty. The Elders

Australia’s government gave its support for this. Civilians are never supposed to be targets and yet it’s so normalised now it will cause those in support to barely blink.
