YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Why the household budget myth is dangerous economics

"It's time for honest economics". Why the household budget analogy is completely wrong for governments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUxV...

We in the west have often ridiculed the obedient applauding delegates at Soviet, Chinese or North Korean party conferences. Now we see that we are just like them when a dictator is in power.

Science denial hasn't been this widespread since the middle ages.

This is an insult to clowns. These guys are gangsters.

The insanity of our unsustainable society. It's much cheaper to buy a new printer than to buy toner cartridges for the old one.

I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day | Anonymous Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

Terrifying. Why do we let this happen?

S är ännu ett högerparti. Har svårt att se vem jag ska rösta på.

These guys have very similar views to the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Ett låtsas val väntar. Ingen seriös opposition. Om bara MP kunde lära sig av de gröna i Storbritannien.

Whatever Trump criticises his opponents for is exactly what he does himself. No one does hypocrisy better than him.

Under water, in denial: is Europe drowning out the climate crisis? Even as weather extremes worsen, the voices calling for the rolling back of environmental rules have grown louder and more influential

Every day I am amazed at how our governments are ignoring the biggest threat we have ever faced.

Pro-life but pro-executions? I suppose they call themselves Christian too? You couldn't make this up.

This will be the first World Cup I will not watch. Just like the Olympics it is so corrupt that I refuse to watch anything these bodies arrange. Yes Scotland should boycott but no one would bother if only we dropped out. A mass boycott would work.

We live in a quasi democracy. There are several parties but none of them seriously challenge the neo-liberal cult that rules us all. We have no real choice. Sweden is a fine example.

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is essentially acting as a massive criminal enterprise. It lies, steals, extorts and murders — all while cloaked in the awesome authority of the state. It is on a crime spree that puts Al Capone to shame.”

Which TV detective would you like to lead the interrogation? Vera for me.

Credit cards cancelled, Google accounts closed: ICC judges on life under Trump sanctions Kimberly Prost and Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza vow US reprisals will not affect work of international criminal court

Judges sanctioned for doing their job. The USA is a rogue state.

With all the talk about "men" in women's sports, it's time to take a look at what scientific studies say.

A brilliant article 👏👏

Even the worst dictatorships have elections, just that they are completely fixed. He will learn from his mentor Putin.

Very possibly. As are Sweden, Germany, France and several more - teetering on the brink.

"Oh the grand old Duke of York, he had 12 million quid, he gave them to someone he didn't know, for something he never did." They were all in on it.

We are heading for a climate catastrophe but we don't want to do anything about it. Good but frightening summary of the inaction so far.

Europeans are dangerously reliant on US tech. Now is a good time to build our own | Johnny Ryan By trusting the US, we handed Trump a kill switch. Yet Europe’s digital sovereignty is an achievable goal, says civil liberties campaigner, Johnny Ryan

European reliance on US software makes us very vulnerable. Do we have the guts to change?

“The rich think they don't have to live in the same world as the rest of us, so they can let it burn and profit on the way down.”

@naomiaklein.bsky.social and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social break down the politics in Epstein’s emails, diving into his relationship with right-wing billionaire Peter Thiel.

Robert Lowe’s challenge is real: Do we want a politics of care, or of hate? A commentator here drew my attention last night to a new policy paper from the Restore Britain group that has been launched by former Reform MP Robert Lowe, who now sits as an independent MP for Great...

This is probably one of the most important pieces I have ever written. Robert Lowe MP is proposing the forced expulsion of millions of people from the UK. Full-on fascism is being put before people. We have to decide. Do we want a politics of care, or of hate? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02...

Not to mention all the people who still want to vote Conservative, or even Labour for that matter ...

Tyvärr tror jag att de flesta väljare fortfarande ser S som ett socialdemokratiskt parti och röstar på dem av gammal vana.

En röst för S är en röst mot socialdemokratisk politik, är en röst för ökade klyftor och därmed för att öka risken för fascism. Det är också en röst för en eskalerande klimatkatastrof.
