Well, I for one am an economist who supports rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high

Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the UK population. The govt can do so immediately by increasing income tax-free personal allowance by £3,000. All it needs to do is to end subsidies to commercial banks.

It’s a problem when you only have white men and no people of colour with a voice, within the decision-making roles in society. Those white men get to decide what is and what isn’t, hence no one in power is alarmed about the racism. Kemi, Lammy, Trevor Phillips, Braverman etc are not on our side.
