#CraigMurray | Starmer’s Thatcherite Economics
" If the aim was actually to reduce the fiscal deficit, taxing those who have money would be far more sensible than taking money from those who do not.
But actually that is not the object at all. The object is to convince the neoliberal finance system that this is a safely neoliberal government, willing to hurt the poor and leave the wealthy untouched."

I'm so close to the fucking edge this year.
I got a 1 kg bag of tapioca pearls for boba tea to make cheaper at home so I can still have a treat. Saw the price tag and was like "hmmm. *Do* I want / deserve an easy sweet treat I can add nutrient powder to as needed and sip for hydration?"
I got it in the end, but everyone deserves nice things. Yes, even the people you hate. Even the asshole down the street. Maybe if they got nice things and felt nicer, they might be kinder to people around them, idfk.#UK #UKpol #pol #politics #UK_politics #UKpolitics #DWP #PIP #UC #UniversalCredit #disability #disabled #DisabledSocial #disabilities #MassDisablingEvent #LongCovid #MECFS #LearningDifficulty #LearningDisability #SpLDiff #SpecificLearningDifficulty #money #cash #currency #policy #PolicyAnalysis #spending #budget #economy #equality #inequality #benefits #BenefitsCuts #BenefitsClaimants #illness #ChronicHealth #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness
