Everything in Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement today will be wrong – and here's why youtu.be/F6a-K6nVIt0?...

The two-party system is dead. How long can first past the post survive?

@jamesobnb.bsky.social Amazed that more people aren’t talking about this – *billions* going straight to the banks rather than into our crumbling infrastructure and struggling public services.

Key question - will she stop the government’s *£20bn* annual giveaway to the commercial banks, money that could be much better spent on our crumbling infrastructure and battered public services?

Westminster is dangerously underprepared for a multi-party future Responsible and farsighted leadership would mean recognising the Gorton and Denton by-election as a warning, says @drhannahwhite.bsky.social www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/gort...

Omg

Tomorrow, all eyes will be on Rachel Reeves’s Spring Statement. But will she finally address the scandal buried deep in the government’s finances? A *£20bn* annual drain on the public purse is quietly flowing to commercial banks while the country continues to suffer economic stagnation. 🧵 1/

Top Barclays executive to lead UK banking supervisor. She will also serve as one of the BoE’s deputy governors Expect more deregulation. Revolving doors and cognitive capture is now the norm in the regulatory structures. A regulator can't promote industry and protect people from corporate abuses

When we explain that government is different because it issues money, that private saving requires government deficits, and that austerity is a political choice, people understandably hesitate. The problem is psychological, not technical. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/03...

Excellent thread. I agree with every word.

This is the long term effect of neoliberal economic thinking that - taxes fund spending - the markets lend to the government - the government must run balanced budgets None of it is true. Read this👇🏻 open.substack.com/pub/frapacio...

The quickest way to cut the cost of UK government debt is to restructure how the Bank of England pays interest on reserves (IOR). Currently, it dumps the cost on the taxpayer, which other central banks don’t (or to the same extent). Explainer coming . www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How the UK government’s finances really work. Prepare to be surprised – shocked, even. substack.com/@frapacioli/...

High energy prices threaten UK’s status as manufacturing power, business groups say. The same groups supported privatisation of rail, mail, water, energy and more. Households ripped-off to appease shareholders. Subsidies aren't the answer. Need public ownership. Gives govts more economic levers.
