💪Absolutely @NYCMayor! Governments need to deliver for working people, & that means making every public dollar count. It also means investing in the capabilities, skills, & expertise inside government to deliver real long-term public value. @IIPP_UCL 🔗 buff.ly/2cmUBDP
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor

Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do. That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap. Here’s some of what we found.

Efficiency as a left-wing virtue - as it should be. Verdant's report advocates for UK government-wide Chief Savings Officer, along the lines Mamdani describes here: to promote effective spending and gaurd against negligent austerity. Report here: verdantthinking.org/publications/w…

A new paper shows that neoliberal austerity policies implemented by the World Bank and the IMF in Sub-Saharan Africa in the 1980s and 1990s were associated with a *20% decline in real incomes.* The destruction caused by these organisations across the Global South is staggering.

It’s not “the left”. It’s every major human rights group, including every major Israeli human rights group; multiple UN commissions and rapporteurs; and almost every major genocide scholar, including multiple Israeli historians of the Holocaust.
Eric Kaufmann@epkaufm

The left is unhinged to call Israel a genocidal apartheid state, but Israel cannot continue to let West Bank settlers get away with violence.

New paper on wid.world by @gatonievas & @PaulaDruschke finds that 70% of World Bank and IMF funds are allocated to G7 geopolitically aligned countries. Bottom line: rich countries pretend to be in favour of democracy but in practice they have built an undemocratic international system to benefit from the collective resources of global public goods, institutionalizing the political inequalities between global South and global North. 🔗wid.world/news-article/t…

Outsourcing doesn't just cost more—it hollows out the public sector capabilities needed to deliver for people. When governments invest in their own skills, expertise and institutional knowledge, they can sense change, learn and adapt to serve communities better. This is what we're measuring with @IIPP_UCL's Public Sector Capabilities Index: the dynamic capabilities governments need to navigate complexity and deliver transformation. [Links below]

@tonyannett The biggest chunk of lost voters moved to more green parties (SF and the other red bloc parties). Some voters moved to more hardline immigration parties like DF. Socdem moved too far centre-right economically - and on climate, IMO.

@tonyannett I don't think this is a bout their econ-vs-immigration policies. That is actually solid to a lot of voters. They got slapped because they were in a broad centre-right coalition gov., which got hardly anything pressing done (nature, biodiversity, clean water, agriculture).

Denmark’s Social Democrats receive their worst showing since 1903. They were praised for being both left-wing economically and hardline on immigration. I guess that strategy doesn’t work after all.

They're not even hiding it anymore. What the SA did for the Nazis (a paramilitary force to intimidate opponents) ICE will do during the midterms.
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump

Steve Bannon: “We can use this, ICE helping at airports, as a test run, a test case, to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterms. Mike Davis: “I think we should have ICE agents at the polling places” Saying the quiet part out loud.

It's actually enraging how the World Bank can suddenly change its mind about industrial policy like "Oops, for the past 45 years we systematically prevented you from using the most obvious tool for sovereign development, keeping you stuck in poverty and dependency, lol".

Reminder: the multiplier for military spending is usually assumed to be less than 1. You can have military Keynesianism, mass unemployment and insolvencies. Or you can have public investment in peace & prosperity, good jobs and a profitable private sector.
Banco de España Research@bde_Research

How effective is public investment in the EU? Using EIB infrastructure loans as instrument, we find that public investment generates large and persistent increases in output & employment with medium‑run multipliers above 3 and positive cross‑country spillovers ➡️ bde.es/wbe/en/publica… #bdeResearch @MortezaaGhomi

He’s talking about himself. He’s the one walking around with misinformation in his head. The official famine-determining body decided it was a famine in Gaza last year. The consensus of genocide scholars is that it’s a genocide in Gaza.
Conversations with Coleman@ConvoswColeman

Sam Harris on the misinformation, disinformation, and lies that have fueled public skepticism of U.S. support for Israel. “We have people walking around with facts in their heads that are not facts…There are people who think that Israel has perpetrated a genocide in Gaza…They think there was a famine in Gaza…They believe they’ve seen pictures of this. I’m not saying there hasn’t been tremendous suffering and death in Gaza. But if, in fact, it is true that the IDF faced an urban warfare challenge of a sort that no society has ever faced…If it is, in fact, true that the IDF has been better behaved, or at least as well-behaved as Americans or Brits or any other Western power has been in anything like an analogous situation…If all of that’s true, then what are we talking about here? What is this double standard that’s being applied to Israel?”

Dear UN Member States, As I prepare to deliver my 8th report to the UN, I reiterate: Israel poses a threat to international peace and security. I have documented its most egregious crimes. Now the obligation to act, and stop it, sparing innocent lives, rests with you.
Nimer Sultany@NimerSultany

Since 1948, no other state in the Middle East: - destroyed more civilian infrastructure than Israel. - destroyed and displaced more communities than Israel. - occupied lands of several nations longer than Israel. - initiated more wars than Israel

Palantir - named in my report for complicity in Israel’s crimes - is a threat to all of us. Palestinians were only the first in line.
Agnes Callamard@AgnesCallamard

Ever heard of Palantir? Here's why it matters: Palantir is a US software company. It specialises in data products, used widely by governments for surveillance, intelligence and military purposes. In January 2024, Palantir signed a contract with the Israeli military to use its technology in support of “war-related missions.” Palantir has a deep relationship with US law enforcement. It supplies ICE with tools that can be used for surveillance and targeting of migrants in the US. Now, that same company is working at the heart of the UK National Health Service. Palantir has already received £330 million of our money for its contract with our NHS England. Health workers and patients have been ringing the alarm for years: this is not right. What’s happening in Gaza is an ongoing genocide. We shouldn’t have a company linked to human rights abuses have anything to do with the health of patients in the UK and the public health system.

China’s top battery makers — CATL, BYD and Sungrow — have gained more than $70bn in market capitalisation since the US and Israel attacked Iran. Everyone wants China’s clean energy products now. So much for “industrial overcapacity.”

Every decision maker in politics, industry etc. should read this. Or better yet the original WMO report it’s about (linked in the article). And then think very seriously: What am I doing to stop this? Is it enough? How do I want to be remembered? theguardian.com/environment/20…
