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

Kind of refreshing to have some politicians getting into scandal for proper sums of money, it does get a bit embarrassing when British MPs keep selling out for the equivalent of a dozen ps5 games. Have reform bought 1000 ps5 consoles, I'm not sure but they could if they wanted to is the point.

These aren't protests. They're racist riots. And it's time for the government to take them seriously. The PM should be convening COBRA and setting out a real plan to end this horrific violence and bring communities together. Now is a time for real leadership.

It would be bad for public confidence if there was a suspicion that large corporate interests are buying access to the Government via the Tony Blair Institute. My letter to the cabinet office. 👇🏼
Dear Chris, 
Tony Blair's essay published by the Tony Blair Institute yesterday contained some 
important points, notably, a call to switch to an AI focussed economy with more 
government investment in AI, which he argued would be facilitated by cuts to welfare 
spending, reductions in the minimum wage and reduced workers’ rights. 


It has been widely reported that Larry Ellison the owner of Oracle, which specialises in AI, 
 
funded the Tony Blair Institute with over £250m, and also that the Tony Blair Institute has 
significant contacts and influence within the government. 
We are sure you will agree that it's important for the public to know whether there is a 
link between Larry Ellison's donations and Tony Blair's public advocacy for more 
government funding of AI. We therefore request that all formal and informal contacts 
between representatives of the Tony Blair Institute and government departments 
(officials and ministers) are disclosed. 
It would be bad for public confidence if there was a suspicion that large corporate 
interests are buying access to the government via the Tony Blair Institute. 
Yours sincerely, 
Zack Polanski 
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

“Ahmad, do you want to die with those around you or alone?” That's what an Israeli soldier asked a Lebanese man on the phone while he sat with family members. Ahmad hung up, quickly walked out of the home, and got in his car. Minutes later, Israel launched two missiles at his car, killing him.
