@Rory-Stewart.bsky.social ties himself in knots of cognitive dissonance caused by modern monetary theory @therestispolitics.bsky.social. He's clearly discovered that #MMT is pure fact, but he remains addicted to the flat earth economics of the bond markets

#MMT is neither paternalistic nor technocratic, Grace. It simply describes the facts about public money: every £ Government spends is newly created @bankofengland.bsky.social. Implications for the left should be apparent

How will the government fund scrapping the two child benefit cap? Talks about the fact it's important to remember public finances are not like household finances.
