@RealAngryAlaska @SharonW27908658 @ariellesophia @elonmusk You've forgotten about the other power government has, which is money creation via treasury/fed, but I suppose that's understandable, given neolibralism has spent the last 50 years propagandising that governments can only spend what they can tax first, ignoring reality..

@SharonW27908658 @RealAngryAlaska @ariellesophia @elonmusk You're not the only one, the idea that if something is useful to society, then it should be run by (profit motivated) private sector rather than (social motivated) public sector... where the profit motive results in looking to perform at lowest cost, rather than maximum benefit?

@I_amMukhtar Also sad that so many "identify" him as Muslim, even though his parents come from a country with 92% Christians and only 2% are Muslim...

@mrshawzy @OwenJones84 Don't you think that the fact the 1% pay 30% of all income tax, which is banded at £125k pay 45% above that level of income, indicates how badly skewed income is towards the top 1%?

@Deadferrets @IATB1990 @FelicityHannah Where do you think that money came from in the first place? Aside from commercial banks extending loans, which is done under licence, only the Bank of England, a wholly owned subsidiary of HM TREASURY, is able to create Sterling. Private sector moves wealth, doesn't create it

@millsytrfc @NoisyMV @jeremycorbyn The centrist ability to rewrite history is only exceeded by their ability to blame everyone else for their failures. Bit like Angela Eagle, praising Corbyn during the Brexit campaign for being "up and down the country with the energy of a teenager", then blaming him for the loss

@spiderbunny7 @GeorgeMonbiot @gmcuk @DrAseemMalhotra 4/ The vaccine rollout started in January 2021. If the vaccine was responsible for causing non-COVID early deaths, you would expect to see spikes in mortality figures for the 4-5 months after that, but in fact we see a reduction in non-COVID mortality.

[Daniel McAuley @dbwm36]

@spiderbunny7 @GeorgeMonbiot @gmcuk @DrAseemMalhotra 3/ The COVID virus itself has been shown to cause a number of co-morbidities, such as blood clots, lung damage and immunosuppression, not to mention long COVID and the problems that causes.

[Daniel McAuley @dbwm36]

@Stevemasterson8 @jeremycorbyn This old chestnut again. Ok, so out of those 428 times, how often did Corbyn vote with the Conservatives?

Answer: 5 times.

So 423 times, Conservatives were voting alongside New Labour. What does that say about New Labour's policies?

@Dickieboy01 @ColonelDeDecker @EssenceOfZam @FisherAndrew79 Not certain but maybe calling them "trots" and "the cult" might be why?

[Daniel McAuley @dbwm36]

@mr29sylt @chisholmsr1 @SteveNickSmith @OwenJones84 I always read "unelectable" from centrists against left-wing politicians and policies as "I wouldn't vote for them, so I don't think anyone else should have the choice either"

[Daniel McAuley @dbwm36]

@GeorgeMonbiot 3/ so my vote won't make much difference, but I'd still prefer voting Green next election, neither hoping for a Labour or Tory win, as in my view and what I've seen, there wouldn't be much different - Starmer's Labour does not support the strikers either...

[Daniel McAuley @dbwm36]

@GeorgeMonbiot 2/ when Corbyn was voted leader, and promised change, I had hope. The right wing of the party, however, preferred a Tory win than Corbyn as PM, and betrayed their members. Voting Labour at the next election rewards that betrayal. Thankfully (or sadly?), I live in a safe Tory seat

[Daniel McAuley @dbwm36]

@LanceForman @jeremycorbyn Not like the former leader of your party wrote a book riddled with bigotry, misogyny and antisemitic tropes, is it?

[Daniel McAuley @dbwm36]

@nigelgibbions @flying_rodent Actually, what they want is for him to "accept" that he and his followers were fully responsible for the reported abuse, so then they can turn round and say "See? Even he knows left-wing ideology is toxic, so we're right to ensure he and his ilk are never allowed in Labour!"

@oldmanha @maloshku @jeremycorbyn Add to that things like natural monopolies - energy, water etc, prices fixed by regulators but still quick to rise, slow to drop. Wholesale gas is now cheaper than before the Ukraine war started, we might see lower prices in April, IF the regulator decides to drop the price cap

[Daniel McAuley @dbwm36]

@oldmanha @maloshku @jeremycorbyn Supply and demand isn't the magical nirvana you think it is. We do most of our grocery shopping in Lidl and use weekly meal plans, but since the start of last year, our weekly bill has grown from £80 to nearly £110. Most people have experienced this, and prices are not dropping
