Anybody mystified by what's happening in the world today, should read John Perkins' frightening but very readable book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" ...here link archive.org/details/Confessi… …and muse on how the industry has advanced since

anybody trying to unpick a complicated system, with complicated dependencies, should be wise enough first to "pick-around the edges" #c4news

who'd have guessed eh, after fourteen years of conservatives manipulating/privatising and generally abusing our nations finances, it takes a little while to pull the system into any sort of fair order #c4news step-by-step

perhaps if this miscreant has been molesting young girls and boys, then his mental health is questionable and needs exposing anyway (with support of course) #wato

#wato Welfare spending is the symptom not the problem : an education system that produces young people who feel unfit to work, a food system that makes poorer people obese and waiting lists that disable people

up to a third (certainly over a quarter) of government spending on care, goes directly to HMRC ~ they could significantly reduce spending on care, if they reduced the tax-take from front-line carers #wato

oh yet more bile from the opposition #c4news (and their media representatives @channel4news) #yawn

that sums up the opposition ~ "We're a little confused" #politicsLive #wato carry on nit-picking and throwing patronising insults about straw-men with skewed figures. They're all still on their personal gravy-trains so on with the show ... @bbcPolitics

I'm thinking overall it's a budget aimed at building up some more momentum before taking on completing the harder stuff where there are situations likely to change in the meantime anyway ~ sensible. #politicsLive #wato #budget2026 so suck it up tories and @bbcpolitics

BadEnoch really is lowering what little tone our parliament ever may have had ~ little more than a fish-wife at a market stall (with a jeering mob behind her) And her twisting of truths appalling #wato #politicsLive
Replying to @bitgit
…..yes, she is a Tory MP…….all the Tories have is childish insults…….Tories have not changed after their disaster in office…….Badenoch only seems interested in auditioning for standup comedy, except she is not funny…….the politics of insults is unacceptable.

just imagine, the whole world gets to see how our parliament works ~ it's embarassing, infantile and largely due to the empty crap and grandstanding presentation from a deconstructive opposition ~ BadEnoch has nothing new ever #wato #budget2026 #politicsLive #pmqs

have to concur, the "Deputy" Speaker keeps making remarks of a most infantile nature ~ is she a tory too? #politicsLive #pmqs #budget #wato doing her best to make the infantile BadEnoch palatable :-s
Does the deputy speaker have the right to bring up people’s children? 🤣 #politicslive #budget2026
