For sure these are all really just accounting identities but this doesn't, at least outside the radical end of MMT, exist in a vacuum and is ultimately based on the amount of productive work and capital assets in the economy.
Of course. There is no 'radical end' though; the amount of productive resources that can be released and employed, as a limit to spending capacity, is a core idea.
 
Lord Frost, who is currently wittering on about Brexit and how it was all about democracy and how great Brexit Britain will be, makes Sir Keir sound like Brian Blessed. Tedious. Totally tedious.

And, of course, he's blaming the EU for all the problems.
 
Honestly, these people.


It is pure and simply the usual Tory deflection tactic. Businesses in NI are reporting the opposite with regard to the protocol. This is all just a waste of time being done to try and create a bogey man when the real Brexit crisis deepens into the new year. It also deflects from what is going on and the stupid mess the UK finds itself in all down to Brexit. Media are so supine to always fall for it and entertain the drivel. In this case this bloke is so bad and easy to demolish if they just did their homework and swat him. But I will ramble on to say that it makes no difference as the great voting public who wanted their Brexit don't seem to take note of these programmes.
 
The far right and their bloody think tanks in the USA and UK worked out that disruption and upheaval is their way to power.

If everything is calm and hunky dory the Democrats/Labour will win.

Still, we can vote him out if we don’t like what he’s doing…err. He said the NIP was “ totally unacceptable to one section of the community”. What about the part of NI society who have made no such complaint?
Even the not very bright Katya Adler on BBC asking “are we on the brink of a trade war with the EU?”

A beautiful description of Johnson’s modus operandi-


“I have spoken to ministers, diplomats and officials who have worked with Johnson and they say, with one voice, that he has no interest in the detail of his deals and does not consider his signature on them to be binding. As one former cabinet colleague puts it: “Boris doesn’t give a stuff about Northern Ireland.”

The only strategy is the usual Johnson method of starting fires, making himself scarce, watching the flames spread, then returning to the scene in fancy dress, claiming to be the only man capable of dousing the flames”.

Or to paraphrase John Crace, "good job Lord Frost and Bojo are on hand to fix the problems caused by....Lord Frost and Bojo".

"As a negotiator his main tactic is to bore you into submission, by hoping you will have forgotten much of what he said by the time you come to sign on the dotted line. The only flaw with this is that sometimes it’s him who nods off and forgets what he’s agreed to. Something that appears to have happened with the Brexit deal he concluded less than two years ago and which he is now desperate to change. Don’t worry. Lord Frost was on hand to clear up the damage caused by Lord Frost.

Frost struggled to explain what he was doing in Lisbon when he could more profitably have given the same speech in London or Brussels. “Edmund Burke and Van Eyck,” he muttered, not really making things any clearer. He’d have been better off just saying that if it was OK for Boris to sneak off to stay with Zac Goldsmith in Marbella for the week it was fine for him to have an awayday with the British ambo in Portugal.

That, though, was about the highpoint of his logic. Next up, Frost diplomatically trashed the EU by saying he was no longer much interested in what our former European allies did – before going on to insist the UK’s main influence now resided in that we could exert through competition and the power of example.

That was why we had needed a hard Brexit as only a hard Brexit gave us the freedom to change. This from the same David Frost who in 2016 as chief executive of the Scotch Whisky Association had said the UK would be mad to leave the benefits of the single market. If you don’t like Frosty’s principles, he’s got plenty of others."

His Corpulence shakes his little pink fist at the EU while his boss shakes a cocktail on holiday (though some would argue that’s too much like hard work for Johnson).

A snippet from yesterday's debt ceiling 'debate'/vote in the US:

"Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) said he would not vote to raise the debt ceiling because government spending funds “tyranny” over people’s lives. He complained about “a border that’s not secure,” “Critical Race Theory being taught to our children...”
