Economics and other nonsense

@PolitlcsUK He claimed that all politicians were economically illiterate (mostly true), then embarrassed himself by claiming that no amount of money would improve the NHS, despite the fact that back in 2011 it was ranked as the best in the world.

@SocialM85897396 "You can pour as much money into the NHS and nothing will change"
Oh yeah? How come back in 2011 it was ranked as the best healthcare system in the world, then genius?

@Parody_PM Any tips on how to scrimp and save my way to £600,000? Im obviously missing a trick here?

@HalSinger But what if our markets are all controlled by cartels, Dr. Sanders? You're thinking about all the money you got paid to say that, aren't you, Dr. Sanders? How much was it? $40.. $50k Dr. Sanders... Dr. Sanders...

@ZoeJardiniere @ProfDaveAndress As that graph clearly shows, if you are genuinely concerned with the number of immigrants coming to Britain, then you shouldnt give a flying f*ck about "small boats" as 99.9% of immigrants dont arrive on one.

@MaxBlumenthal @StevenGWalker74 The labour party did the exact same thing to Jeremy Corbyn in the UK.

@s_m_marandi The West is not your enemy. We stand with you. The enemy is the corrupt, warmongering ruling class, both at home and abroad.

Fair play to @RBReich for articulating what very few liberals are prepared to, namely that while there may be a core of far right scumbags voting for Trump, he wouldnt get anywhere near the White House without the support of millions who feel theyve got nothing to lose.

@IsabelOakeshott The thing about political extremism is that its always people like Peter Lynch that end up paying for it, never the
puppetmasters like you who wind them up into a frenzy, but never have the guts to get your own hands dirty.

@pioangelus @broseph_stalin It's like a modern-day Rhodesia!

[Working Man's Economics @workingmansecon]

@broseph_stalin Not to worry, Israel will make up the shortfall in workers by importing more Eastern European racists like they've been doing since the fall of the Berlin Wall

@davidsirota The welfare of a nation can scarcely be inferred from a measurement of national income as defined by the GDP.

Simon Kuznets (the creator of GDP)

[Working Man's Economics @workingmansecon]

@CraigMurrayOrg Exactly this. A similar comparison would be with the way that leading Irish Republicans like Martin McGuiness and Gerry Adams were described in the 1980's, versus how they are thought of now.

Ive decided to give bluesky a whirl, mainly because the last 30 people to follow me are, for want of a better word, sex bots (check out my followers if you dont believe me).

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

This is unforgivable.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

Yes, I can. 🧵

@CourtsIdle @BarristerSecret 10 years of austerity actually increased the national debt by 19% between 2010 and 2020. To carry on with it is stupid, ignorant, and economically illiterate.

@bittersweet1951 @PeterStefanovi2 @Keir_Starmer I dont blame Labour for Grenfell, I blame them for adoting the morally and financially bankrupt economic ideology that caused it.
