Austerity, as it’s so often referred to on the left, is not even a real thing. TME rose every year under Osborne in both nominal and broadly real terms, so “austerity” was always a composition story not a quantum one. What actually happened was capital and state capacity were starved to feed pensions, health, and transfers, which is left-wing austerity by any honest accounting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ There is a K shaped economy: TME and borrowing goes up up up, median wages and productivity and tax receipts go down down down. That delta grows exponentially wider with nothing to fill it. The left then suggest money printing. This causes greater M2 supply and even higher inflation as more money chases the same amount of stuff. This causes a doom loop. The left need to be held to account for this. Depriving the productive economy and imposing austerity to fund the unproductive client economy (public sector, NGOs, charities, welfare recipients both domestic and foreign, etc) in exchange for votes, is a sure fire way to burn the economy - as the people funding it all leave or give up and there’s no one left to pick up the tab. Then the bond market will exact its punishment.

I can't stress this enough. You have to stay healthy. You have to avoid needing medical care for as long as possible. Your doctor may have a sub 500 MCAT and a 2.7 GPA.

Morgan McSweeney quits. Here is his statement in full After careful reflection, I have decided to resign from the government. The decision to appoint Peter Mandelson was wrong. He has damaged our party, our country and trust in politics itself. When asked, I advised the Prime Minister to make that appointment and I take full responsibility for that advice. In public life responsibility must be owned when it matters most, not just when it is most convenient. In the circumstances, the only honourable course is to step aside. This has not been an easy decision. Much has been written and said about me over the years but my motivations have always been simple: I have worked every day to elect and support a government that puts the lives of ordinary people first and leads us to a better future for our great country. Only a Labour government will do that. I leave with pride in all we have achieved mixed with regret at the circumstances of my departure. But I have always believed there are moments when you must accept your responsibility and step aside for the bigger cause. As I leave I have two further reflections: Firstly, and most importantly, we must remember the women and girls whose lives were ruined by Jeffrey Epstein and whose voices went unheard for far too long. Secondly, while I did not oversee the due diligence and vetting process, I believe that process must now be fundamentally overhauled. This cannot simply be a gesture but a safeguard for the future. I remain fully supportive of the Prime Minister. He is working every day to rebuild trust, restore standards and serve the country. I will continue to back that mission in whatever way I can. It has been the honour of my life to serve.

In France, we believe in science. That is why, on May 5, I issued a clear and open call to the world: for science, choose France. I am very proud to see that this call has resonated so strongly. Around forty leading researchers have chosen France. Through “France 2030”, we have invested more than €30 million to advance health, climate action, artificial intelligence, and fundamental sciences. Science has found its home.
