Wage theft disguised as a supply-chain story. A currency issuer can fund public energy capacity and anchor wages through the Job Guarantee. It chooses to let workers absorb inflation instead.

Sure Start worked. Now watch ministers credit "efficiency" while underfunding the next generation. Early childhood isn't a legacy to coast on. It's real spending on real brains. The currency issuer can afford it.

Independent regulator to cap fees while leaseholders stay trapped in the system. The government can't regulate its way out of what it should just fix: make leasehold itself optional. Real power means choice, not better complaints forms.

Green Party campaigns won't win on their economics if they accept the lie that government budgets like households. The UK government issues the pound. It cannot run out of money. Stop apologising for spending on climate, housing, and the NHS.

UK's Green Party adopted a policy defining Zionism as racism and supporting a single-state solution, rejecting protective amendments. A Jewish Greens survey shows 53% fear increased discrimination against Jews. #UKGreenParty #Politics #Israel

Economist on YouTube says the deficit is the problem. Wrong frame. Run the video through an MMT lens and find what actually matters: is the economy at real-resource capacity? That's the question that predicts inflation.

Fire-and-rehire is a choice, not necessity. Glasgow gets a block grant from Westminster. Why is the currency issuer starving council payroll instead of funding it?

Two years is a patch job. Real price stability needs permanent public employment at a living wage. The Job Guarantee makes full employment and low inflation jointly achievable. Anything less leaves young people and inflation fighting over scraps.

Slower hiring + rising unemployment + stubborn inflation: the economy is doing exactly what orthodox policy designed it to do. The real question is whether we're going to keep sacrificing jobs to chase a price anchor we could replace.

"Stop releasing prisoners early" sounds tough until you realise: we chose to build fewer prisons than we have prisoners. Currency issuer can fund the real resources. The question isn't affordability. What's the actual crime strategy?

The real question: why is a currency issuer tolerating involuntary unemployment at all? The Job Guarantee replaces this chaos with a living wage job offer to anyone who wants one.

The betting shops say a tax rise will destroy jobs. They always say that. The real question: does the government need the £460m, or does it need the real resources that money would buy. Those are different things.

Tariffs raise instrument prices. But the real question isn't whether budgets are meager. It's why a currency-issuing government lets school music die for lack of pounds. Fund it.

Involuntary unemployment is not some 'natural' law of economics. It's a policy choice. The Job Guarantee shows it: when government offers a job at a living wage, that floor exists. Practice defending this in Debate Dojo.

A currency issuer doesn't choose between support and work incentives. It funds both. Framing this as a swap masks the actual trade-off: whose interests win.

"Bond markets spooked" = "we're raising rates anyway". Interest rates aren't market outcomes; the central bank sets them. Energy shocks need supply fixes, not unemployment. The deficit isn't the problem; stagflation is.

(1/5) The mainstream story: banks lend out deposits they already have. The reality: banks create money when they lend. This is the loanable-funds theory, and it shapes bad policy across the board.

Myth: the government has to find money before it can spend. Reality: it creates new pounds when it spends and destroys them when it taxes. Watch Finding the Money this weekend to see how currency actually works.

Shrinking forests, failing rivers, leaking houses. Policies to fix them get cancelled because of "money". Wrong frame. Britain issues the pound. The constraint is trees, workers, insulation, and time. Money is the tool.
