ONLY new government spending can increase private sector’s net savings. Taxation does the opposite.
Every £ comes either from government spending (adding to total government debt until taxed back) or from bank lending (creating deposits but no extra wealth overall).

Printing money causes inflation in financial markets, not in goods markets, since supply adjusts to demand in goods markets, not in financial markets: Financial assets are not stored to sell later nor produced more when demand rises.
When do firms supply financial assets?
Opinions on Palestine 🇵🇸 ultimately boil down to a single question: in the early 1900s was it a land already inhabited or was it a barren land waiting to be given away for new immigrant settlers?
What happened politically?
There are three particularly important dates:
11880s onwards: Jewish immigration increased, particularly from Eastern Europe, as the Zionist movement developed. There was already a historic Jewish population in Palestine (these Palestinian Jewish communities opposed political Zionism).
21917: Britain issued the Balfour Declaration, supporting the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine.
31922: The League of Nations formalised the British Mandate, incorporating the Balfour commitment.

Karp is a reborn Maccabee, urging Israel to use 'maximum violence' against those it seeks to displace from its God-given land. As such, he's as volkish as anything Heidegger imagined. His Trot-Zionism is simply a means of disrupting any genuine leftist opposition.

I’m old enough to remember when one company owning all of this was called a monopoly and was illegal.
Incredible that all of these entertainment , media and news outlets are now owned by the same parent company called “Skydance” 😐 #Monopoly !!

🚨BREAKING
The Financial Times has just revealed that Thames Water’s US hedge fund creditors are close to agreeing a ‘last and final’ deal to take over the company.
A handover to US hedge funds. A continuation of the privatised chaos. And a huge reward for the people who have run our water into the ground.
The deal would see them allowed to pollute our rivers and seas without consequence - in exchange for an upfront payoff.
This deal is absolutely outrageous, in every regard.
112 MPs have already called for special administration of Thames Water.
A cross-party group of MPs - who scrutinise the Environment Department - have said that the creditors’ proposal should be rejected and Thames Water should be brought into special administration.
And the former Environment Secretary rejected a previous version of the creditors’ deal in June. This new version is not better in any way.
@andyburnham promised to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation. He promised public control of life’s essentials.
This really is the moment of truth for Andy Burnham. If he allows the water supply of 16 million people to be sold off to US hedge funds - how can we take him seriously about any of his promises?
NO DEAL to the Thames Water creditors. Special administration now.

#Newsnight #DavidWalliams: Take it from both a #Durham graduate and a #Theology graduate that while the straight queen can be tiresome, he is not an act, and his vigorous heterosexuality is often successful. Have you ever read a right-of-reply paragraph in which a spokesperson said that someone was in a psychiatric facility? Yet that response probably arrives in inboxes quite a lot. Editors make decisions. If a famous person ever had committed suicide after that, then we would have heard. davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/…

If true this is outrageous.
It seems that Andy Burnham’s latest version of ending 40 years of neoliberalism is handing Thames Water over to US hedge funds.
Labour have stopped even pretending to serve us or our communities anymore.
Labour stand for the hedge funds.

Unicef spokesperson James Elder told reporters on Tuesday that Israel had rejected equipment needed to repair a key Gaza rainwater basin, warning that the facility could overflow and endanger nearby residents through flooding and disease.

It depends on the wider impact to the economy - even if you disagree with benefits, fact remains you will be losing £36 Billion of annual spending from the wider economy. That will have a real impact on hundreds of business and thousands of workers.

People that post this are blatantly trying to mislead social media about the recent flooding and extreme weather to imply that aid is not required - anyone posting this is undertaking an intentional act to promote genocide.

The IDF under instruction from the Israeli government is restricting all aid into Gaza, militarily controlling all access points. Aid agencies are begging for access - but are also restricted - with Western journalists also banned from entering to report.
It's a concentration camp.
Recent heavy rains in Gaza directly affected more than 106,000 people, damaging or destroying shelters, latrines, and belongings.
Three children aged four, five and eight were killed along with their mother over the weekend when a sand dune collapsed onto their tent in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, after heavy rainfall.
The deaths happened as families, exhausted by war and the protracted crisis, prepare to face a fourth winter under very dire conditions. Some 1.7 million displaced people are still living in tents, makeshift shelters, or damaged buildings exposed to flooding, cold and collapse.
The flooding caused by the heavy rains is compounding a sanitation crisis created by the war. No wastewater treatment plant in Gaza is currently operational.
UNICEF and partners are distributing tarpaulins, winter clothing, blankets, and hygiene supplies, clearing blocked sewers and stormwater basins, and installing sandbags at sites to mitigate the impact of flooding. In the past week alone, we reached at least 10,000 children with winter clothing and thermal blankets, distributed tarpaulins to families whose tents have flooded, and cleared sewage and stormwater at more than 50 locations.
The emergency response is vital but is not a long-term solution. Tents and tarpaulins offer little protection against severe storms, and damaged water and sanitation systems continue to put children’s health and lives at risk.
UNICEF urgently calls on the Israeli authorities to allow the immediate entry of pumps, generators, spare parts and other materials needed to repair water and sanitation infrastructure, including the Sheikh Radwan stormwater basin and the Sheikh Ejleen Wastewater Treatment Plant.
We urge the international community to join the call for the entry of all life-saving humanitarian supplies and equipment, and to provide urgent funding for UNICEF's winter response in Gaza.
