James McMurdock MP We are a needs-based country. There is almost nothing the state does that isn’t redistributive towards the groups it deems most require it. The country is run for this purpose, and anything that still functions is despite the government not because of it.

Last year, Motability cost more than the entire school maintenance and repairs budget. How did Motability, a government-backed scheme to improve the mobility of disabled people, become so expensive? A 🧵.

Law preventing individuals and state from acting sufficiently, hollowed out state capacity, law breaking needy people favoured over law abiding, special treatment for protected groups, useless politicians, taxpayer subsiding the dysfunction. This story has virtually everything.
