Roonomics

Interesting political economy info and opinions for ambitious A-level students. Views entirely my own.

Roonomics has flown to blue sky. Bye bye crazy X people.

It is very good news that the Green Party is so clear sighted about the NHS. Streeting's gimmicks, like league tables, are poison. Fund the NHS properly, end privatisation and respect the staff.

[Marcus Chown @marcuschown]

Wes Streeting’s NHS pronouncements are indistinguishable from those of the Tories.

We didn’t wait 14 years for this, Labour.

The ultimate betrayal of voters and our precious NHS.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

The simplicity with which Labour seem to be approaching incredibly complex issues feels wildly inappropriate.

Hospitals are not struggling due to poorly performing managers, nor any other single factor.

The NHS workforce needs support, not threats.

NHS staff haven’t been failing, they have been failed.

For 14 long years.

Wes Streeting would do well to remember that, and to be more careful with his language going forward.

Hospital league tables are a recycled bad idea, even Blair ultimately rejected. How does it help, to know a local hospital has been ranked above/below others? I don’t wanna “shop around” & I’m not helped by stigma/punishment heaped on my local hospital. Wes Streeting is clueless

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

Fuck.

[Fred @uncleFredsTweet]

Happy Wednesday 🌹

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

League tables haven’t helped education & they won’t help health care

Wes Streeting should be supporting #NHS staff with resources they need not pitching them against each other in an artificial competition

The Sun can say what it likes about Lineker. But Lineker never ran an entirely fictitious front-page story accusing Liverpool fans of picking the pockets of corpses.

This is one of the most beautifully crafted sites for plain-speaking explanations of how our economy works. An understanding of MMT is an essential weapon in the battle against the cycle of austerity and global tyranny.

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Pay for NHS chiefs to be linked to performance with ‘no more rewards for failure’, Wes Streeting says.

Performance related exec pay gave us scandals -water, rail, energy, banks, care homes, Post Office, elsewhere.

Expect the same abuse in privatised NHS.

Economist @blair_fix: "Free-market thinking is a lie in the sense that it does not lead to greater freedom and autonomy. Quite the opposite. The evidence suggests that free-market thinking actually leads to greater obedience and subordination." Read more: https://t.co/UmAlmIaqBz

wow. we are all shocked and surprised

[Elizabeth Pancotti @ENPancotti]

Apparently we’ve learned nothing about aggregate statistics obscure how working class people experience the economy. So yes, the wreckage of 50 years of neoliberalism:

[Gene Bryant @GeneBryant2]

A new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of tax cuts in the U.S. — which promised to “trickle down” and eventually boost jobs and income for everyone — have only helped one group: the rich.
