ew post: Populism and Economic Prosperity mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2025/10/popu... We would expect populist governments to damage the economy, and the evidence suggests that they do so in a big way. But we know from Brexit that the media typically nullifies the impact of this evidence on voters.

Anyone remember a time when the BBC and particularly @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social were only too keen to associate UK political party leaders with Russian Government influence? It really wasn’t that long ago Where are you on this @vicderbyshire.bsky.social et al? www.theguardian.com/media/2018/m...

😡 The Government wants to ban repeated protests & jail those who defy them. Stand up for our democratic right to protest - sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

Say hello to literally the only protesters outside Tory conference this year

These guys look adorable and their demand is very reasonable

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social I am a bit late to the programme tonight but can anyone explain what the actual **** an Palantir executive is doing on the show?

Thames Water is circling the drain - but the govt is letting private equity vultures KKR take over. This is everything wrong with our water system. Rivers poisoned, bills rising, profits up. Join me in urging @london.gov.uk to act: actionnetwork.org/petitions/ma... @compassoffice.bsky.social

New post: Starmer’s Disgraceful and Damaging Remarks mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2025/05/star... As with austerity in the 2010s, if none of the main parties can be honest about immigration then the public debate will be equally dishonest.

The screamingly obvious, visible from space, lesson from recent elections, in the UK, in Australia, in Canada, etc. etc. is 'you can beat an alternative that voters believe is more extreme than you provided you don't do things that whack up inflation'.
