There is only one source of money (and wealth) in 🇬🇧: the Govt. New money can only come through Govt spending and old money is removed through taxation. How you spend that money and who you tax determines what kind of society you have. #MMT

The Prime Minister’s plan to offer rapid routes to settlement for those earning six-figure salaries whilst punishing and making lower-paid workers wait up to 15 years appears to be based on the notion that care workers are “low-skilled” because they are low-paid - its a disgrace

Saying Lord Doyle did not give a "full account" over his links with a convicted sex offender is an admission from Keir Starmer that he was indeed told. The fact he didn't press for more information, or even, oh, I don't know, withhold the peerage, just makes it worse. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
