Jeremy Hunt isn’t able to deny that Brexit has contributed to our economic woes
He knew in 2016 and knows now that leaving the EU is an economic disaster for the UK
The conspiracy of silence is making us poorer

My temporary withdrawal from Twitter reminds me of when I gave up my car
My life was diminished while everybody else carried on the same
So I’m back, wading through the filth, hoping things will improve
Can the users somehow restrain the absurd hubris of the Musk?

‘It doesn’t feel like we are doing something revolutionary and different in the world economy to keep us on track to 1.5 degrees’
Well said @MishalHusain
@TheGreenParty leaders @AdrianRamsay and @carla_denyer would be happy to come on to explain the transformation we need

@MadsFalkenfleth @rethinkecon I agree with you but I need resources for my first year course and these are much better than the standard texts
I also collaborated on producing a textbook!

@ianwaring I definitely agree that the energy market has not kept up with the climate transition we need major revisions urgently

@MadsFalkenfleth @rethinkecon Hi Mads
Brilliant thread - thanks
You don’t mention the CORE teaching resource. It’s still pretty orthodox but encompasses key issues of concern like climate - and it is clearly a response to this movement
I’d be interested to know your view of that

@ianwaring I have read The Deficit Myth. The situation with the dollar is different because it is the world’s reserve currency
Josh works with Mariana so I would be surprised if she wasn’t also a supporter of a change to the Bank mandate

‘Labour should remember their egalitarian roots and support growing calls for a wealth tax. Otherwise they will be colluding in the devastating cuts to public services being cooked up by the millionaires in Nos 10 and 11 Downing Street’

Bank hiked interest rates because its mandate gives it only one task: to contain inflation
This will cause recession, job losses, impossible mortgages - so much damage
This is why we need review of its mandate
Monetary policy should work for good of people, planet and climate

Labour MPs press Keir Starmer to set out ‘wealth tax’ plans
Why are Labour being so timid about taxing the rich?
It’s the obvious and fair way to fill the hole in the public finances
And preventing more intolerable cuts to public services

The Bank of England is spooked by inflation and choosing to push the UK economy into recession
But we know that this inflation is caused by Putin’s aggression not by over-heating
If we need to take demand out of the economy we should do it by taxing the super-rich

😳 Being schooled on the scapegoating of migrants by the PM of Albania
😲 Criticism of deliberate creation of division to divert from failed policies is spot on
😖 This is how the Tories are destroying our international reputation
RT @BBCNewsnight: Albanian PM Edi Rama gives an exclusive interview to #Newsnight
He describes the UK government’s approach to Albanian migrants arriving as ‘scapegoating’ and ‘fuelling xenophobia’

I have to say that I’m delighted Sunak has changed his mind about attending #COP27
He has been forced to respond to the huge level of concern about the #ClimateCrisis here in the UK
That’s down to you!

Terrible to hear the doctor telling us that in 2022 she is seeing hungry children in her surgery
Of course we need an extension of free school meals
But this is the result of ten years of disastrous Tory rule
What we need most is a #GeneralElectionN0W

UK has one of the lowest rates of asylum applications in Europe
Mismanagement of the process is performative: intended to create a crisis for political reasons
Most of the countries people are coming from are war zones and they are legitimate refugees

The Tories cut thousands of police jobs during the austerity years
Rapid recruitment to replace them then undermined vetting standards
Tories style themselves as the party of law and order
But they have made us less safe and allowed corruption of our police services
RT @GMB: A damning report has warned hundreds of police officers in England in Wales have been cleared to serve when they should have failed vetting procedures.
