@HenricCont @PerBylund So we've now established that no new dollars can enter the US banking system unless created as credit by domestic US banks all under US government jurisdiction no matter how many foreign banks may promise to provide credit in US dollars for their foreign customers

@LoftusSteve 😆😆😆😆 you actually believe all that ??? Crikey !!!

@MerrynSW Just tax their UK assets instead. They can't take most of them with them.

@proboriented @NewmanJ_R If you knew anything about MMT you wouldn’t need to ask the question so you clearly don’t !

@ItsJamesHall I presume he's not taking Millbank tower or any of his other UK multi million pound properties and hotels with him so I don't think we've much to worry about .... we should be able to generate a nice big fat tax take on them !

@SebastianEPayne And yet here we are with everyone struggling to make ends meet. This isn't an idealogical fight between free markets and socialism it's a pragmatic argument that says even in a free market some things like health, energy, rail and education are best publicly owned

@tomhfh There may well be a moron premium but the moron is the Governor of the Bank of England who decided to start aggressively unwinding the asset purchase facility in 2022 flooding the market with UK Gilts over the next few years

@DCBMEP The UK has never gone bankrupt because it can't. The sooner people realise this the better

#bbcqt Jeez Braverman is all over the place ! Yes Japan and China have much more homogenous identity but England like the US is a country of multi ethnic immigration and integration over decades and centuries! In truth you are whatever you feel you are!

[Mike Murphy @dalkeithfiddler]

@KevinAl1976 So we get a massive majority government uannacountable to the rest of the country with 35% of the vote share???! Bullshit. Democracy is not a winner takes all game it's about serving the whole country !!!

#newsnight I see you've invited on Andrew Neil to emit his noxious gases, as the corpse of neo-liberlism, like a fetid brexiteering wildebeest, guts bloated with his own self importance, floating down the river legs up erupting with vile smelling defiance and rancour,to no avail

@JulianSmithUK Great example of how PR would have improved things. Instead of a Tory party riven by splits and beholden to a grubby DUP deal there would have been a centre left coalition in charge that would have given us a softer less damaging Brexit.

[Mike Murphy @dalkeithfiddler]

@DanielJHannan What are you wittering on about you fool? Spending is the only way ! The question is, should it be private investment to further enrich the already very wealthy or public spending to provide much needed services and jobs ?

[Mike Murphy @dalkeithfiddler]

@MPIainDS I say give them 14 years like we gave your shower of useless shits, then we can compare notes. Until then just keep out of it you right wing ghoul !!!

[Mike Murphy @dalkeithfiddler]

@GoldBug2000 @andrew_lilico It is clean though. I've never had a problem with it and it is cheaper. The point is the private system is no better but costs more because of course profit is skimmed off

[Mike Murphy @dalkeithfiddler]

@JohnRentoul @Dannythefink Danny's analysis as usual is garbage. The real lesson from the last 40 years is that selling off public monopoly utilities is a disaster, cutting tax and public spending destroys public services and combining these two policies lead to Brexit and the rise of the far right

[Mike Murphy @dalkeithfiddler]

@JuliaHB1 Bullshit ! Did you even listen to what he said?!!!! He suggested that they'd break the link with gas prices that forces all electricity prices up and reform the grid network and how it is financed
