Economists, think tanks and commentators like Jim O'Neill on #bbcpm keep saying UK welfare spending is "out of control." The BBC reports it uncritically. The Resolution Foundation, one of the UK's most respected economic research bodies, looked at the actual data. Thread. 🧵
Jim O'Neill, ex Goldman's banker, is part of the problem. Regularly prognosticates on what's best for the financial markets, & now what Burnham's policies in govt should be, on #r4today, but never mentions the restraint on corporate environmental externalities we need to prevent climate catastrophe
It's incredible to me that even Thatcher recognised the approaching climate catastrophe in 1988, and since then, not only have we not prevented further global heating from being baked in, but we have actually accelerated it because of fosssil fuel lobbying and capitalism.

Things I learned recently:
1) The word 'tawdry' comes from St Audrey/Etheldreda, because cheap wares used to be sold at fairs held in her name, thus she's the patron saint of markets & car boot sales
2) She had a sister, also a saint, called Saint Sexburga

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

People in America who sell good records that I might want to buy, please be aware that if you sell on Vinted, postage & taxes are subsidized, so that postage for everywhere, inc. between the USA & the UK only costs about £3/$4. You're missing a trick. Sell records to me while this lasts, come on

When we hate on these disgusting immoral evil billionaires it’s bc just look at everything Dolly did. They could be doing that. They could just be helping people and every day they choose not to help people. They choose to harm. And when they die, we’ll dance and laugh and be thankful they’re gone.
