Steve Reed makes case for Starmer going extremely well on @Channel4News, despite his desperate protestations.

Starmer must go. His speech was uninspiring, removing any hopes he has the charisma, political savvy, integrity, or ideas to unite the party let alone the country.

Extremist is the death and destruction that Benjamin Netanyahu government brings on a daily basis.

Extremist is them introducing the death penalty for Palestinians.

Extremist is this apartheid, genocidal Israeli Government that our Government shamefully supports.

[Mariana Mazzucato @MazzucatoM]

The @WorldBankGroup has recognised industrial policy can deliver after decades of advising against it. But new conclusions do not automatically produce new economics. The Bank still treats the state as a fixer of market failures rather than a market creator and shaper. The question is not whether governments intervene after markets have failed — it is what kind of economy we want to build in the first place.

New in @ProSyn with @LaraMerling on the new economics we need, and how the Global Council on New Economics for the 21st Century, co-chaired with Deputy Prime Minister @Carlos_Cuerpo, aims to deliver updated economic principles organised around justice, equality, sustainability and global solidarity, translated into a framework progressive governments can act on.

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Spread far & wide.

The role of the state in innovation and market-shaping is gaining traction globally, but innovation to what end? What kind of market are we shaping? How is it governed? In whose interests?

My next book, The Common Good Economy, attempts to answer these questions—moving economics from reactively fixing market failures to proactively shaping collective goals. How we achieve objectives matters as much as what those objectives are. Link below.

A retweet by Zack Polanski is now the main story across every single media outlet.

Two days ago, it was revealed that Nigel Farage failed to disclose a £5 million gift from a crypto-billionaire.

It gets nowhere near the media attention, for straightforward political reasons.

Melania Trump says Jimmy Kimmel should be canceled. Last week her husband commented on Robert Mueller’s death: “Good. I”m glad he’s dead.”
Said Pretty much the same about my old friend Rob Reiner.
People who live in glass houses should’t throw shit.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

After Trump's latest shocking threats, Keir Starmer faces a choice.

Withdraw US access now to UK air bases, or risk letting British soil be used to commit war crimes.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

[Mariana Mazzucato @MazzucatoM]

Our economic system is broken. Climate crisis accelerating. Inequality deepening. Public trust crumbling. Wealth concentrates while governments scramble to fix what markets can't do, rather than shape them from the outset.

Presenting my new book The Common Good Economy live at @HowToAcademy—a reimagining of economics and a manifesto for a future economy that serves people and planet.

How we achieve collective goals—through participation, reciprocity and reward-sharing—matters as much as what those goals are.

NEW: It’s a journocide. Israel admits to targeting & killing three more journalists & making up false evidence.

Journalists in the west have a moral responsibility to speak up. The blowback from this impunity is coming next for us all.

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]

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

@TheEconomist has utterly destroyed its reputation with its deeply racist and profoundly bigoted coverage of the mass-murder of the people of Gaza. For six months we have seen issue after issue of scandalously one sided-coverage which has has made it complicit in the continued enslavement of the Palestinian people, the on-going seizure of their land, the systematic abuse of their human rights and the industrial slaughter of their innocent civilians in both Gaza and the West Bank. Shame on its senior editorial staff responsible for the travesty of inhumanity and bias. @zannymb

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

NEW: Two senior MOD whistleblowers with inside knowledge of Palantir's systems have come forward to @thenerve_news to say government ministers are ignorant of the grave national security risks the technology poses.

It amuses me that MAGA think their attack line on AOC going forward can be 'she's just a bartender' or she's 'dumb' when I can't think of a single MAGA congressman who could speak like this, for two minutes, on this topic, at an international forum like Munich. Not one.
