@joymorrissey@KemiBadenoch So you would be happy to take money from the poorest people in the country to protect the wealthy - they are the ones with most at risk? Yes, you are truly a Conservative admirer.
Some interesting notes about beaches across Devon and Cornwall. Great if you're a surfer (I'm not!) or if you're interested in looking for a nice family beach (I'm not!) This guide is obviously written by someone who really loves beaches. https://t.co/XWjCSduDOE
@Councillorsuzie Taxpayers money is a myth. Government spends first then taxes. If you're interested in national politics you should at least be aware of how government spending actually works. https://t.co/6I1tUCB8Tf
@PenumbraeLeo@KemiBadenoch Β£800+ billion of that 'debt', about a third, is owned by the Bank of England. The government owns the BoE so how is this a problem? 'I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of....' on every banknote indicates it's a promissory note. It's govt debt. How is that a problem?
@KemiBadenoch If you aspire to be First Lord of the Treasury you should learn how gov spending works. All talk is about cutting benefits, taking money from the poorest people l, the powerless and disadvantaged. Typical of the Tories: cut taxes for the rich and pile pressure on the poor. Shame!
@KemiBadenoch The money comes from the BoE. The gov makes an order to BoE & by law since 1866 it must provide the money. It does this by extending the gov's overdraft. Someone in the BoE taps a keyboard & changes nos in certain accounts. Any tax paid reduces this overdraft. Such ignorance!
@pompeyawayman@johnmcdonnellMP In 2008 we had the worst financial crisis since 1929. It was an international issue but banks in this country were hopelessly over-exposed because of Blair's failure to regulate finance . He was/is a fully paid-up member of the neo-liberal faith. He hasn't changed.
@rich_toronto What a load of nonsense. Who wants to ban pork in the UK? That's news to someone who has lived here since my birth in 1947. Typical right wing bullshit.
@afneil The financial markets will gang up on ant lwdtiah party that it sees as challenging their power but a government with the right moral compass can defeat them. Indeed, finance needs to be tamed and made the servant, not the master. A serious gov can do this.
@jenniferarcuri NordVPN. Been using it for about 4 years without any problems. It's based in Panama so no possibility of interference from Give Eyes countries, etc.
