🤗 Good to see BBC recognizing the undue influence of these shadowy organizations funded by dark money
🤔 But why are they still being given so much airtime?

Another reason why Kwarteng’s disastrous budget is counter-productive
From a former US Treasury Secretary
RT @LHSummers: Financial crisis in Britain will affect London’s viability as a global financial center so there is the risk of a vicious cycle where volatility hurts the fundamentals, which in turn raises volatility.

#KamiKwasi’s reckless budget means that:
📈 We are all facing higher prices
🏡 People can’t get mortgages
💷 Businesses can’t afford to borrow to invest
📉 The economy is being pushed into recession
🚨 Absolutely disastrous for all except the super-rich 🚨

🤗 Fantastic news that @UKLabour members voted for PR *and that it should be in the manifesto*
💪🏽 This is the route to a revitalized democracy and the end of Tory governments
👉🏼 Over to you, @Keir_Starmer
RT @MakeVotesMatter: Labour members have passed a motion for Proportional Representation, but we have still heard nothing from Keir Starmer.
It’s time to tell @KeirStarmer: we want Proportional Representation!

How bad do things have to get before we stop hearing Gerard Lyons on the BBC?

Another from the Tufton St stable happily pushing our economy off the cliff
RT @KateAndrs: *Reminder*
The Truss government wants interest rates to rise faster. It's a key part of its new economic strategy. So if market reaction to this mini-Budget forces the Bank of England's hand, that is a design feature, not a design flaw, of Truss's plan.

I think we’re in a #Sterlingcrisis
Caused by reckless and irresponsible Chancellor
Brexit was bad for pound, but this is the worst since 1992 Black Wednesday, when we left the ERM
Also caused by a Tory Chancellor
Why do people think you can trust the Tories with the economy?
RT @ChrisGiles_: Bank of England and Treasury are not denying there will be a statement on sterling later today

Can you imagine what would happen if people really kept more of their own money in their pockets, as @RachelReevesMP wants?
The economy would grind to a halt and we would have the mother of all recessions
Tax is good for the economy as well as being good for society

Sterling falls to record low against the dollar
‘It looks like we’re headed for a spiral that we usually see in emerging markets crises, where policymakers struggle to reassert credibility,’ said Mansoor Mohi-uddin, chief economist at Bank of Singapore

🏭🏡🌎 Greens skills? Green steel? Green industrial revolution? Home insulation?
💚 Yes, it was all there in @TheGreenParty 2019 manifesto
🙋🏼♀️ If you want the best policies three years sooner, better vote Green

Before Brexit vote pound was worth $1.48
Overnight it fell to $1.03
It’s lost around a third of its value
Everything we import is more expensive - adding to price rises
Bank of England forced to raise interest rates, further increasing prices
Economic chaos from the Tories

Pay pain for workers as public sector squeezed
The heroes of the pandemic are being made to pay for tax cuts for millionaires
Nurses, teachers, and doctors will face real pay cuts as Chancellor launches a class war

Meloni’s storms to Italian election victory
Deeply concerning to see a fascist take power in one of Europe’s largest countries
This is where chaotic and populist politics takes you
It was the bullshit politics of the Five Star Movement that led us here

People will die because of this
It’s as simple as that
And the Tories just don’t care
RT @KumarAshwin: Who gains from today's Budget tax-cutting measures?

This is a disgrace!
Our public services are in crisis and people on the lowest incomes are wondering how they are going to survive the winter
A massive gamble with our economy based on the big lie of trickle-down economics
#MiniBudget
RT @faisalislam: 45bn is 2% of GDP - biggest tax cut since the Barber budget of 1972, 50 years ago. (Says IFS)
Should be noted that did not have a happy ending
