No. They're pushing anti free speech legislation, they still have a lot of prominent members who back net zero. If they get into power again, nothing will change because they don't think they did anything wrong and see no need for a fundamental reassessment of their policies and philosophy.

We have a choice: either tax the very rich more or have widespread extreme poverty

@fuzzfoster @JimNorCal @PeterMcCormack @garyseconomics @JosephEStiglitz There is a paper: the site is doing a completely standard check where you click a box to protect against ddosing.

@proboriented @JimNorCal @PeterMcCormack @garyseconomics @JosephEStiglitz There wasn’t a paper. Only a security site of which I was expected to sign up to.
Sorry not doing that.
Was it written by anyone who has won a Nobel prize in economics like @JosephEStiglitz ? See 2025 G20 Global Inequality Report.

@MarkJLittlewood The NHS should only have staff who were raised in govt orphanages after being seized at gunpoint from capitalist wreckers.

The NHS should not buy paper on the open market. That’s part privatisation. Instead there should be publicly owned NHS forests, state-run paper mills and a taxpayer-funded platoon of lumberjacks to produce the actual paper that doctors and nurses use.

As Health Secretary, Wes Streeting deepened the privatisation of our NHS and handed over our data to Palantir, a company involved in genocide. I am sure his friend Peter Mandelson is very proud. Time to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service — and kick Palantir out!

@paulg If you mostly get rich by making things people want then politicians don't have much of an excuse to regulate businesses and so get more wealth and power amazon.com/Bootleggers-Ba…

At one point my son and his friend kept looking for shortcuts to getting rich. Over and over I told them the way to do it is just to make something people want. If this is what I tell my own kids about getting rich, why won't politicians believe this is how a lot of people do it?
English
@fuzzfoster @JimNorCal @PeterMcCormack @garyseconomics @JosephEStiglitz It's also kinda funny that you're shilling for more money and power for the state when politicians and civil servants are bought and paid for by the rich people you claim to hate amazon.co.uk/Bootleggers-Ba…

@fuzzfoster @JimNorCal @PeterMcCormack @garyseconomics @JosephEStiglitz Do you know of a specific criticism of the paper I linked? And if we're going to consider funding Piketty works at various academic institutions en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Pi… funded by the state so should we discount his advocacy for the state as shilling?

@samhfinance If the govt does that then they have nothing to threaten and bribe old people with and that is after all the real point of all govt benefits.

The UK should scrap the state pension.
Give every newborn a £10,000 investment account instead.
£10k at 7% for 67 years = roughly £930k.
The average person pays about £113,000 in NI over their career. That buys you £241/week at retirement age.
Why are we still doing it this way?

@cjsnowdon I don't see why MPs shouldn't go home. They're not doing any good in Parliament.

A degree from Oxford University and four decades as an MP.

"If the British government is going to be completely dominated by the bond market, MPs might as well go home." Diane Abbott told Cathy Newman on Sky News that whoever replaces Keir Starmer as prime minister must go through a "properly organised selection process", regardless of any "hissy fit" made by the bond markets. When this provoked laughter from Newman and eye rolling from former Conservative cabinet minister Gillian Keegan, @HackneyAbbott argued that there's no point in having a parliament if the financial sector always has the final word.

Wages are too low and bills are too high because the state is spending £1.37 trillion per year, which is £48000 per household and can't be bothered to provide even basic services like protection of persons and property. A PM needs to understand that govt spending should be cut and services provided by people who can be held to account by denying them funds, which they can't do with the state obr.uk/forecasts-in-d…
English
There's a toxic combination of low wages and high bills.
We need a Prime Minister who understands the need to tackle the cost of living crisis and the urgency of the climate crisis.
We need to end Rip off Britain.

@CFC_Junior_ @garyseconomics The average person hasn't felt much richer because the British spends £48000 per household obr.uk/forecasts-in-d…
English
I just have no idea why anyone would be against this. The extremely rich cannot even spend up to half of their money even if they wanted to. They just use it to accumulate even more wealth.
UK and US has gotten MUCH richer since the 80s but your average person hasn’t felt it at all.
English
I have some shocking news of an organisation so rich it spent £1.37 trillion last year, that's £48,000 per household. Can you imagine how much difference it would make to a family to have that much extra money. Presumably you will want to cut that organisation down to size and give its ill gotten gains to ordinary people. That organisation is the British state. I look forward to you advocating large cuts in govt spending obr.uk/forecasts-in-d…
