Jsteve @jsteve.bsky.social · 04/10/2026...the likes of Laura keunsbeg treating these nonentities as if their opinions on things they know nothing about have any weight just because they are politicians is just plain daft.

Jsteve @jsteve.bsky.social · 01/10/2026IMO the best answer to your Q is the one put forward by Larry Elliot in today's Guardian; they, starting with Gordy Broon (Mr PFI) bought into the Thatcherite trope that a National economy is somehow analogous to a household economy.
