What happens when a state absolutely refuses to own anything at all https://t.co/DuHIdzsg5r

[Adam Tooze @adam_tooze]

"Now he's passed the torch to Kamala Harris. We must unite behind her to defeat Trump"
How about asking the question whether in a place claiming to be a high-functioning democracy the choice of candidate might be by mechanism other that "torch passing"?

📢 AN A-Z OF HOW BRITAIN CAME TO DESPISE THE #TORIES. As we head to the polls this Thursday, here’s a handy alpha-list of reminders of why we should all vote the #Tories out. Please share widely. Thank You!

@AaronBastani Delighted they all give a shit months after we stop needing it. Bastards

[John Hood @JohnPHood]

Just really bizarre/bad politics to repeatedly criticise your predecessor, even if they were disliked. Never understand why it's done, and it applies to all parties and factions. Does it really "distance" you? https://t.co/Wzw9ktbs5T

@DandG_Global worthless fuckers. Twice cancelled appointments, over 2 weeks without a washing machine. Get fucked

[John Hood @JohnPHood]

@mr_james_c @s8mb You're going to find many, many more people who can talk to the terrible experiences with landlords refusing to fix anything, effectively stealing deposits etc.

Parents are glad to have had acknowledgement that after 14 yrs the childcare system is broken but ultimately this market needs reform.

Mothers pay a part-time penalty in work and pay through the nose for the privilege.

The workforce needed just isn't there. #ToryChaos

[John Hood @JohnPHood]

@PFF_Chiefs Yes, even with the injuries

[John Hood @JohnPHood]

@Clydro_22 You're a great person. If it's your last game for the Chiefs, thanks for everything, we appreciate you

[John Hood @JohnPHood]

@s8mb Probably need some more police officers. Probably need to pay for them

[John Hood @JohnPHood]

@WillieGayJr Thanks for everything, we love you. If you can't stay I hope you get paid WELL.

[John Hood @JohnPHood]

@NFLAGENTKATZ Fuck off you parasites and do what he wants

[John Hood @JohnPHood]

@thomasforth Omg I'm so grateful for this. Been saying it forever. Just use the analogy "who doesn't borrow to buy their house? And if I borrowed to cover energy bills, that's bad. If I borrow to put in double glazing to lower said bills, that's good" etc etc

[John Hood @JohnPHood]

@benglaze Good luck Ben! I've very much appreciated your support over the past few years

[Torsten Bell @TorstenBell]

Two questions I often get asked:
1) is the UK's recent economic performance really that different to other advanced economies?
2) even if it is, does it matter to normal people?
The answer is yes on both fronts

@AaronBastani They really did knock down some lovely buildings

[John Hood @JohnPHood]

@nickyknivesout @paulmasonnews @labourlewis And yet he lost and Starmer most likely will win, partly because enough centre-left babies insisted they couldn't vote for Corbyn

[John Hood @JohnPHood]

@paulmasonnews @labourlewis Starmer and the control freaks don't want anyone on the Left, if that means people who want e.g. higher taxes on rhe wealthy. I like his national renewal speech but how do we fund it meaningfully? Very happy to compromise but if I'm just kicked in the nuts repeatedly?
