Regenerating high streets is real work. But framing it as "pledging" £210m treats a currency issuer like it's scraping together pocket money. The real question is why Westminster starved local economies in the first place.

Daniel wanted to teach physics in Leeds. The schools needed him. The classrooms were empty. But HM Treasury's spending rules cut his bursary from £28,000 to £10,000, then suspended it entirely.

EU fiscal rules exist. They are political constraints, not economic laws. The Stability and Growth Pact, debt brakes, ESM conditionality; these are real instruments that limit what member states can spend. But they are not immutable.

Emergency funding for mosque security shouldn't be "emergency". A currency issuer can fund community safety as baseline policy, not crisis response. The real question: why does protection depend on disorder first?

Paved with Prosperity
The Streets of Philadelphia

it was deliberate policy, designed with attention to the mechanisms that had undermined earlier colonial currencies, and it achieved what Massachusetts could not

Follow the money. Most people think government spending comes from tax revenue, but the real flow is public money in, public money out. The Money Flow Sankey Diagram shows you where it actually goes; not myth, just flows. Come see the picture.

"Final offer" for a devolved government's budget is Westminster theatre, not economics. The real question: why does the currency issuer keep rationing money to the regions it governs? Scarcity in Belfast is a political choice in London.

The government "can't afford" 70% of a refugee scheme. It issues the pound. The real question: why is it choosing to defund people offering homes to Ukrainians?

#MMT #Economics #UKPolitics #UKEconomics

Oil prices up, borrowing costs up, so the chancellor has "less room to manoeuvre". Wrong frame. As currency issuer, the UK can always afford to spend. The real question: what inflation and resource constraints exist, and how should fiscal policy manage them.

Neoliberalism didn't fail the left, the left failed to name what it actually was: a conscious choice by the currency issuer to starve public services. That's not inevitable. It's reversible.

Gail wanted to train as a nurse in Nuneaton. The training centre sat empty. The wards needed nurses. The jobs existed. The people existed. The answer was always "there is no funding." But the UK government issues the pound. The limit was never money. It was a political choice.

Badenoch obviously doesn't know that the UK is a currency issuer, she doesn't have to punish people on benefits, or demolish what's left of public services to fix the economy.

Can the Tories find a serious leader next time, please?
