I'm interested in how people think/interact & how & why society & politics works (or fails) the way it does

[Frances Johnson @frances8johnson]

How can someone who's supposed to be so academically smart, also be such a moron? Or is it just delusional? Whichever, you might want to reconsider how smart you actually are when you also believe such utter shite

Ben Shapiro: "God makes promises to the Jewish people, and He doesn't lie

God says in the, in the five books of Moses that this land belongs to you and your descendants"

Those same books mention Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. By his logic, Israel should occupy all of it.

This is how lunatics justify endless expansion. And after hearing this, anyone still pretending these people want peace is either lying or delusional

[Frances Johnson @frances8johnson]

Wow @sainsburys
The level of exploitation is just breathtaking. Exploit customers with your prices. Exploit young people with 'work experience'. But hey, shareholders do well huh!? Bravo.
And this is being sold as a good news story!?

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham has announced Sainsbury's will offer 10,000 work placements from October to help tackle youth unemployment

[Frances Johnson @frances8johnson]

Big doubts #Burnham will do anything to progress this but the really irksome thing about this has been the negative reaction.

Regular taxpayers voicing annoyance at the idea so the other #millionaires who WON'T willingly pay more don't have to! 👏

...that's a slow clap btw 🤦‍♀️

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"More than 120 millionaires.. have signed an open letter urging PM Andy Burnham to tax their wealth. The campaign, called 'Proud to Pay' says a 2% tax on wealth over £10m could raise £24 billion a year" #GMB

Ep 4 looking specifically at what @garyseconomics said in recent @therestismoney podcast interview...
Just a suggestion, perhaps he should bring along some crayons 🖍 to the next big media interview to help the hosts out

John Oliver, "The Conservatives have had 5 different prime ministers over the past 14 years.. It's worth briefly revisiting all of them"

1⃣"David Cameron.. Austerity.. Brexit"

2⃣"Theresa May.. More austerity, two child cap"

3⃣"Boris Johnson.. His time in office was a shambles.. Britain left the EU on the same day of the first case of the corona virus was announced.. His handling of covid was an unmitigated disaster"

"For the record there is only one actual f*ckpig in Downing Street.. David Cameron.. As a student at Oxford he once put his d*ck in a dead pig's mouth"

4⃣"Liz Truss who had the shortest tenure of any British prime minister in history.. Her budget full of tax cuts for the rich which caused a mini economic crisis"

5⃣"Sunak the wet.. A man who literally does not have the sense to get in from the rain"

"Brexit created red tape that has grown exponentially.. Trading goods with the EU is now so onerous that many businesses have chosen to relocate into mainland Europe which is not good news for the UK"

"Brexit is estimated to be costing the economy about £100 billion a year"

"While Brexit makes the news, austerity is the legacy of Cameron and his successors because it has in so many ways obliterated public services"

"Take the NHS, years of under investment have left it gutted and understaffed.. Wait lists for NHS treatment have exploded.. More than 7.5 million waiting for non emergency treatment, that's over 2.5 million when the Conservatives came in in 2010"

Or in other words chief #tory #lyingshite of the day

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

Jeremy Hunt wears the badge of Chief Tory Gaslighter of the Day when he says that every contractor who didn't deliver on the VIP PPE Lane is being pursued by the police.

They aren't. Many firms who delivered useless PPE have since been dissolved, money gone.

Tories have had to be forced every step of the way to give any information. Contracts are redacted or simply kept secret.

Hunt also tries to imply that other political parties were involved. They weren't.
Every single one of the companies given the VIP contracts were referred by a Conservative. Many of those who profited were donors or Tory party members or with direct links to the Conservative party or ministers.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Tax does not pay for government spending https://t.co/73MdtlvwmU Probably the biggest challenge to understanding how the economics of governments really works comes from the need to understand that governments of the sort we have in the UK are not funded by taxes. They are funded by central bank money creation. Tax exists to control inflation (and tackle inequality, market failure and other things). Until it's appreciated that spending creates taxation and not that tax funds spending, nothing else about how the government works makes sense.

So anyone illegally sacked only gets Jobseekers' Allowance until 2025 while water companies have until 2050 to end sewage dumping in our rivers. I do have that right, don't I?

Lord Prem Sikka, "Fighting oppression, destruction of NHS is a lifelong commitment. It is not just for one week or one weekend" @premnsikka

"Before I talk about some financial aspects, let's just put this into broader context"

"Why is there such a huge demand for health service? Because we have poverty wages. People are denied access to good food, good housing. Last year, 800,000 people were admitted to hospitals suffering from undernourishment or malnutrition. There are Ricketts and scurvy have returned to this country because of poverty"

"Poverty is also created by governments. A good example, the two child benefit cap, for example"

"So I just want to put it in a broader context that we actually need to fight on broader fronts in order to get good health service workers. Share of the GDP in 1976, when trade unions were very strong, was 65.1% of GDP. That is in the form of wages and salaries. It is now about 50%. And one big reason for that is profiteering all around us, which reduces people's ability to have good housing, good food and so on"
