@mat70x.bsky.social14 years of doing nothing... now we get a policy a day from the attention seeking Kemi Badenoch...
Funny how there's money for absolutely nothing when you can spend it but no #Austerity in opposition isn't it...
@jwgoudriaan.bsky.socialStudents, teachers and joined by public service workers are organising day of action 6 October to protest against #publicservicesemergency in education and fighting #austerity

@midwalesmike.bsky.socialKemi Badenoch says Tory police cuts were necessary because there was “no money”. But debt is higher now and she says we need 10,000 more officers. #KemiBadenoch #PoliceCuts #Conservatives #Austerity #TheWhipLine

This is why we can't continue with #neoliberalism. The already wealthy demand #austerity to maintain and extend the #WealthGap, leaving the rest of us to get poorer, with ever worsening #PublicServices.
Time to change the paradigm - an economy for public good!
@pistachiosnapper.bsky.socialTory #Austerity. This country has had enough of this divisive policies where the rich get richer & the poor get poorer. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Political context: the government accuses hard-left #LFI of organizing the movement. LFI denies it as “conspiratorial.” The unrest comes amid tensions over a proposed €54bn #austerity package and ahead of the 2027 #presidential #election.
@thesociologicalreview.orgThe drastic decline in local government spending from 2010 was associated with a 9% lower probability of giving birth among the poorest third of women in England.
Laura Sochas and Jenny Chanfreau write about #reproductivejustice and #austerity in The Sociological Review magazine.

Framing budgets as a zero-sum game guiles #classwar. Wealth is concentrated privately 👉 while #austerity “manages” “crises” by shifting all the burden onto workers.

Oh wow, they really are choosing the Rich over everyone else, aren't they?
Austerity for the Young and the Disabled, when does it ever change?

@scotlandscomrade.bsky.socialIf anyone suggests that the state of the UK now has fuck all to do with what this bitch done during her tenure in No10 needs to give their heads a fukin wobble.

@acemaxx.bsky.socialAnd notice what happened: 2021–23; Higher prices → higher nominal GDP → debt/GDP falls. No heroic #fiscal #consolidation was required. This is important b/c it undermines the intuitive narrative that a high debt ratio automatically requires painful #austerity.
