Current discourse on the left AND the right frames national debt as something like a doomsday barometer. But that's a big smoke screen. Public debt and fiat money are a necessity of modern monetary systems Carlos G. Hernández @Carlos_G_H_ joined @PLottaz youtu.be/lNBhdSjSaJQ?si…

"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months." Shameful. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

We often hear politicians compare the national economy to a household budget: a world of scarcity in which the government must balance budgets. But this analogy is a failure... The economy is not a piggy bank; it is an Electric Motor.. by Neil Wilson new-wayland.com/blog/from-hous…

"The political system cannot function if spivs in the money markets dictate every budget. The public cannot deliberate on schools, hospitals, or green investment if the answer is always, “The markets won’t allow it.”" By Neil Wilson new-wayland.com/blog/nuke-the-…

This is the kind of thing that is happening to people all of the time! Others telling them they're taking advantage by using services they're entitled to on the basis that it's "bankrupting the country". THE UK CANNOT GO BANKRUPT tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@KirstieMAllsopp You think the UK can go bankrupt?!! It's this nonsense that causes so much unnecessary suffering! tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.108…

A writer so successful that today is a day dedicated to him in schools all over the country thinks it is reasonable that he travels for free due to his age. People have to stop taking things they do not need, it is wrong and it is bankrupting our country.

Now free to watch! Discover how the discourse about the public finances is based on incorrect assumptions about where money comes from. youtu.be/Az6ueHQWl2k?si…

A Modern Monetary Theorist’s Response to ‘Weaknesses of MMT as a guide to development policy’, Aboobaker and Ugurlu (2023). By Phil Armstrong gimms.org.uk/2025/09/17/a-m…

This paper provides an institutional analysis of the UK exchequer which shows: - That the UK government creates money every-time parliament approves spending. - That bonds issuance and taxation are not funding operations. Policy making needs to start by understanding this.

As the government panics about bond market gyrations, its always useful to understand how the UK government actually finances itself: by creating new money, just like a bank.
