I wrote this 5 years ago, describing the actions of Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock & Simon Stevens killing tens of thousands. @ukcovid-19inquiry.bsky.social found that virtually all these deaths were avoidable. As my final line says, it's time to make the guilty pay youtu.be/1ey1DkViDGg?...

I wrote about the feasibility and implications of changing our macroeconomic management to a ZIRP+JG+Banking Reforms approach, using the insights of the MMT framework lens. open.substack.com/pub/jgs952/p...

This is terrifying. ⁦‪@rthonwesstreeting‬⁩.bsky.social's neglect is clearly abetting the killing of patients. When will Keir Starmer take preventive action?⁦‪@teamlabouruk.bsky.social

"he remains addicted to the flat earth economics of the bond markets"

Congress passes a Lew then sends it to the Treasury who sorts the Money out and sends that to the Fed to release the Payments, the Fed creates The Money out of thin Air, Here is an Elon Musk example to explain. #MMT Learn MMT like your life depends upon it because it does.

I wish I was a Constitutional scholar & historian so I could give a better arg for why the most important revolution was the creation of our Constitutional Public Money. & that it’s not “optional”, but Constitutionally determined, that our gov should pay for a big, wealthy, diverse, public sector

Why does everyone talk like a comic book villain now?

Why is the left still terrified of the state’s power to create money? youtu.be/7O_3wR87yvo?...

When you understand monetary operations these guys lose all credibility with regard to public finance: www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Why won’t so much of the left believe in the sovereign power to make money? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/12...

Rachel Reeves just gave us a masterclass in how NOT to run a budget. We got leaks, U-turns, political theatre, but no real economic planning this video, explains what's gone wrong and how we could get a rational budget delivering for us www.youtube.com/watch?v=Knt4...

MMT matters because it reveals power – and gives us back the right to choose www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/11...

Questions to ask a lcritic of MMT www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/11...

No. It's not 'device hoarding'. It's called being smart, responsible and aware that we live on a finite planet. Articles like this are encouraging even more planned obsolescence.

I'm so looking forward to the Budget today, brought to us by a Chancellor who hasn't a fucking clue how the fiscal powers, and responsibilities, of government work.

"discuss how sovereign currency works and why budget commentary is economic fan fiction"

Spending is cut because we have a govt that doesn't understand govt funding. #mmt It beggars belief and beggars us all. Pathetic economic nonsense in the 21st Century.

Private equity doesn’t create value. It extracts it. It’s financial vampirism. It sucks companies dry and leaves behind empty husks. Step 1: Buy a company with borrowed money Step 2: Shift that debt onto the company Step 3: Fire workers to “improve efficiency”...

"What matters is the effect on the overall economy"

If you have a sense that most economists are disconnected from reality and talk theoretical bullshit, you are correct. If you would like to hear from economists who are grounded in reality, these talks are for you.

We need to understand the mechanics of power if we’re going to build the future we deserve. realprogressives.org/mnc-podcast-...

If you have a sense that most mainstream economists seem disconnected from the real world, you are correct. One of their most damaging myths is the nature of money. e.g. Thatcher; "There is no such thing as public money, there is only taxpayer money". The RBA explains the reality.
