Paul Krugman attacks Britain's austerity drive as 'deeply destructive' Nobel prize-winning economist says austerity policy is failing and coalition should be increasing spending instead of cutting it

The Toriesโ€™ & media oligarchsโ€™ recent criticism of the Chancellor for increasing taxation on the basis of allegedly understated figures are ludicrous when compared to the Toriesโ€™ prolonged austerity foisted on the UK population 2008-2024 Financial collapse www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

Tories hiked taxes both BEFORE and after the ludicrous Brexit. Western economies including US, but excluding UK eased off financial restraints as early as 2013. In other words, the Tories imposed unnecessary restraints on the economy for political purposes from 2013 till they were replaced in 2024

Iโ€™m no fan of this high ratings show, but apologising? Better to deal with Question Time with its season ticket for fascistic Farage, his cultish, or plain racist acolytes and more than centre-right chair, yes.

Two stories you may not have seen this week that would be a big deal in a normal country:

1) The โ€˜dossierโ€™ detailing the BBCโ€™s editing of the Trump speech literally edited Trumpโ€™s speech.

2) The NBER calculated that Brexitโ€™s longer term damage to GDP was greater than originally forecast.
