  1. Unfortunately people hang onto these half truths like it's a religion here.

  2.  @michaelrch  No, no they're not.

  3. @ someone pushing back on what's being said here is trolling?

  4. Reeves is advised by John Van Reenen ( an actual LSE Phd economics professor of quite some note ) People spouting utter nonsense like the Gov doesn't actually know what's going on here and it's just some easy fix. The sentiment actually hurts my head.

  5. @ Exactly. People seemingly defending pensioners here are the same people whinging about triple lock.

  6. What's wrong with Foreign aid, would you like to explain?

  11.  @AaaaandAction  PPE from Oxford. Masters in economics from LSE. Surely you know this though?

  12. ​ @AaaaandAction  Exactly, he's an accountant. Unlike Reeves who's the Chancellor of the Exchequer and also advised by a team led by John Van Reenen who's an LSE PhD professor of economics and one of the best economists of his kind anywhere. I mean, you're not listening to Reeves, she doesn't have a YT channel. They don't need one. Confirmation bias is high AF in here lol.

  13. @ Oh dear. You don't have to be sorry though, it's not your fault.

  14.  @AaaaandAction  Sure.

  19. @ The Tories did that my friend, not Labour.

  20. And you're a proponent of just printing money, And that's also completely wrong.

  21. Oh my... where would you like to start with this one?

  22. @ Sorry, The thought of the Gov dumping the nations entire tax return on Nvidia or Palantir stock had me laughing. I kinda wish they would though, I'd instantly cash out and buy an Island in the Caribbean. Maybe Jamaica :)

  23.  @Moustache-Gaming  Yeah. like it's that simple to just turn around 14 years of Tory mess

  24. @ So let's give them some time and not think that this can all be turned around in a few months. I mean Reeves has some damn good economics advisers on her side that's for sure. They're aware of issues here.

  25. @ You do know that the Liam Bryne note that "famously" said there was no money left was gallows humour... right?

  27. MMT is completely untested theory. It would literally be experimenting with the whole of the UK economy. What could possibly go wrong.

  28. Anyone have any empirical evidence that MMT actually works.

  29.  @col.hertford9855  MMT is untested nonsense. Some of the best economists in the world have called it economically illiterate.

  30.  @branduusituuli  Can you imagine the sentiment in the UK if they actually tried MMT. Oh they've give us some money, great. But...now they're taxing it back!!! It'd go down like a bag of spanners.
