Time’s up, and nobody has won the packet of screws.
The correct answer was ‘Flemish single-manual harpsichord after Ruckers’.
Useless, the lot of you.

Here’s a slightly wanky view of my new woodworking project. A free packet of screws to the first person to guess what it is.

I am today proposing legislation to Parliament to prohibit quantitative easing without the express consent of democratically elected MPs.
QE is essentially the state printing money, billions and billions, to bail itself out - devaluing all of our earnings and savings in the process.
If you insert vast amounts of new cash into the system, what does that do to existing funds? It all becomes worth less. Inflation, and lots of it.
QE has now become a mainstream tool to avoid the Darwinian reality of capitalism.
I want the state to live within its means, just as the rest of us are forced to do so.
It raises money through tax, it can then spend that money. It should not be permitted to print mountains of cash to fund unaffordable policies - lockdown is the primary example of that.
Let's have a state that is as accountable to its people, as the people are to the state.

The spike in the government’s borrowing costs - notably the rise in the yield on 30-year gilts to a 27 year high - is all about investors’ diminishing confidence in the UK’s growth prospects. It risks pushing the UK into a vicious downward spiral, because the higher borrowing costs increase the risk of more tax rises and an even stronger economic head wind. Starmer - for the sake of the UK - desperately needs a persuasive plan for growth

@wbmosler @TheHumanSpoon I’ve been trying a few AI systems too, in my limited experience they always start with TAB(S) responses but after a few pointed questions jump straight to (S)TAB, which I think is really interesting

Paul Johnson, IFS, "We'll either see some big tax increases or spending cuts, given where we are with the public finances at the moment"
"Neither the Conservatives nor Labour say: we're going to cut this, or increase taxes.. But if they're going to keep to their own self imposed fiscal discipline, they're likely to have to do one or the other"

@staylorish If all SNP won seats in 2015 had been won by Labour instead, Tories would’ve still been in government though
English

Voters are not this stupid. The SNP won almost all the seats in Scotland at the 2015 general election, reducing the Tories to just one. This did not get rid of the Tory government. If you want to get rid of Tory government at Westminster, voting Labour works. Voting SNP doesn’t.
