🤦‍♂️Dear oh dear. @UKLabour's senior politicians response to the BoE's nonsensical decision to increase interest rates is both clueless and heartless. But that's because Labour is committed to neoliberalism. Gordon Brown's decision to make the BoE 'independent' in 1997 was driven… https://n.respublicae.eu/i/web/status/1673014258169151488

Re @Owain4Hale @Mervyn_Carter Yes and also the "Why aren't the lazy sods at their desks, being whipped and deprived of drinking water till they've done ten hours' work? We left the EU so people wouldn't any longer get days off, holidays, lavatory breaks or flexible working, I'd have you know" brigade.

Surplus in Higher Education this year is £2,600,000,000. The highest it has been for at least four years. Staff expenditure has hit a record low (51%). These two facts are directly linked.
Our declining living standards are their multi-billion reserves.

It’s time to make the Russian Army leave Belarus and for Belarus to join the family of democratic European states. https://t.co/FWsGQbGLv1

Re @northernmnkey @MarkMarkmash @SimonPartridge @suzannezeedyk @joycemcm You'll find that we already have too short a period of healthy life. The first option won't give you shorter lives, just less healthy ones. Length of healthy life is a better measure of the success of a health service /public health programme.

Re @northernmnkey @MarkMarkmash @SimonPartridge @suzannezeedyk @joycemcm Not sure you've understood. You have to apply the length to the health, not the unhealthy bit of the life.

Re @northernmnkey @MarkMarkmash @SimonPartridge @suzannezeedyk @joycemcm Yes and you change the criteria for success of a society, to having healthy happy citizens with less misery and more good diets and exercise. Forget criteria that equate to misery and replace with criteria that measure well-being.

I’m hard pushed to remember a day like today in the BBC newsroom where the news from #Russia is moving so fast. Is it a mutiny? A coup? Where will the Russian Army stand? Will the FSB stay loyal to Putin? What will it mean for the war in Ukraine? We’ll try to provide answers…!

Interesting how it all falls apart for Trump, Johnson and the Russian funded ERG Conservatives at the same time, and then for Belarus and Putin's regime. Like a row of dominoes or a house of cards. 👀
