Elon Musk has discovered that the US government does not spend taxpayers' money - because there is no such thing. Instead it creates all the money it spends out of thin air, on a computer keyboard. He's just found modern monetary theory. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...

This is the right move. For so many reasons: A tiny tax on people who will barely notice - £24bn a year to help fund Ukraine and keep up foreign aid - and so much more that’s crying out to be done right here in Britain. All without putting any more on the shoulders of working people

The energy price cap goes up again next week - but there’s nothing OFGEM can do about that. It’s the government that needs to take urgent action - we need reform of the energy market. (1/3) buff.ly/42UWVse
