  1. The rich will never leave whilst they still have power, control, influence and ownership.

  2. Richard J Murphy is not talking nonsense. The cold hard truth is that austerity, benefit cuts, reducing eligibility for social security benefits, cuts to public services, privatisation, reducing the availability and access to affordable quality housing supply and reducing access to NHS healthcare with increased social care costs and massively increased cost of living crisis with higher tax on the lower income groups and low tax on the wealthy will drastically reduce the size of the economy and increase poverty and lead to the collapse of companies with high unemployment, with associated lower quality of life and shorter lifespan in good health. Previous Conservative British government admitted the bedroom tax did not save money and only kept the bedroom tax because they believed it was popular with voters like New Labour does.

  3. The UK cannot afford to lose the welfare state.

  9. It's been reported that most money from Quantitative Easing has gone to institutional investors. It's time Quantitative Easing was used to stop austerity, end poverty, end economic equality and improve living standards for the people and debts cancellation for those on low incomes, means tested benefits, student loans and public services.

  10. People should look at the entire budget not just the financial crumbs that have fallen from the table. The 2024/2025 government budget is £1,216 billion. The PIP disability benefits cuts of £6 billion is only 0.42% of the 2024/2025 budget. Labour MPs claim that £10 billion lost to fraud and error is unsustainable yet £10 billion is only 0.89% of the entire budget of £1,216 billion. Successive British governments from 2010 - December 2019 have cut £37 billion from benefits with billions of pounds cut from disability benefits The British government owned Bank of England has spent £4,000 billion (£4 trillion) on Quantitative Easing from 2009 - 2022 with £200 billion spent in 2009. Labour government misled Parliament when the Labour government claimed there was a £22 billion black hole when there was never a financial budgetary black hole or deficit because the British government gets all the money the government needs from the government owned Bank of England. Multimillionaires, billionaires and multinational corporations have received billions of pounds of government support through Quantitative Easing it's time the people especially the disabled were protected from austerity and benefits cuts. There needs to be a household wealth cap on MPs, peers, councillors, elected mayors and other elected politicians set at £10 million including property with MPs and their families banned from being landlords.

  12. Unconditional Universal Basic Income must be paid at an amount equal to the living wage and paid unconditionally. Unconditional Universal Basic Income paid unconditionally must be used without any restrictions on use, with full freedom to save, spend, invest, without geographic restrictions, without time limits on use, without expiration, with full ability and freedom as use of cash. Unconditional Universal Basic Income paid unconditionally must be without affecting tax and without affecting eligibility for disabled benefits and not means tested benefits and not affecting tax. Unconditional Universal Basic Income paid unconditionally could work safely without any form of cryptocurrency and without any form of Central Bank Digital Currency and without any form of Chinese Style Social Credit System will help to ensure financial protection and financial security from an Artificial Intelligence based and led economy.

  13. Some of the biggest advocates of Brexit have secured EU residency, EU citizenship and homes in EU member states.

  14. The richest don't want the people to become independent through a fair economic system as this means the wealthiest will lose control over the people and mean a massive increase in population.

  15. Bank of England Quantitative Easing could be used to fully fund public services, fully fund social security benefits and end austerity for the people. Austerity is political choice.
    6
  16. None of the social security benefit cuts claimed by New Labour are necessary and there is no £22 billion black hole. Tax rises are not necessary to fund public services and not necessary to fund government spending. £22 billion is a small amount of government expenditure and the government owned Bank of England could easily use Quantitative Easing to cover any money required to fully fund social security benefits, fully fund winter fuel allowance and fully fund all disability benefits and fully fund all public services in both central government and local government. Quantitative Easing could fully nationalise privatised utilities, telecom and broadband, Royal Mail and bus and rail services with greatly reduced prices for users of these services. Bank of England has previously spent £4 trillion on Quantitative Easing from 2009 - 2022 with £200 billion spent in 2009, most of this money has gone to institutional investors. Quantitative Easing could permanently end austerity. Nigel Farage supports privatisation of public services and deregulation of financial services the same deregulation responsible for the banking crisis and massive bank bailouts of 2008 onwards.
    6
  17. Quantitative Easing could fund renationalisation of all privatised companies and full renationalisation of all privatised public services. Quantitative Easing could also fully fund all Central Government and Local Government expenditure and fully fund state pension increases, winter fuel allowance and social security benefits and allow Universal Credit to be replaced with increased levels of legacy benefits. The results would massively reduce mental health issues, reduce crime and grow the economy.
    5
  18. Bank of England has spent £4 trillion on Quantitative Easing from 2009 - 2022 with £200 billion spent on Quantitative Easing in 2009 and most of this money gone to institutional investors. Successive British governments from 2009 could have used Quantitative Easing to prevent, alleviate and eradicate poverty, could have been used to stop austerity, stop benefit cuts, fully fund public services and renationalise privatised companies, replace infrastructure and build a national high quality national council house building programme. Austerity, privatisation and infrastructure transfer from the public sector to the private sector is wealth transfer from the people to the wealthiest on the planet.

  25. Nigel Farage supports privatisation of council services with the US model of local government where contracts for council services are issued over annual banquets. Nigel Farage also supports deregulation of financial services and increased self regulation. How do I know? Because Nigel Farage has said this on camera.

  29. @Nick-io9uk  Government owned Bank of England has spent £4 trillion on Quantitative Easing from 2009 - 2022 with £200 billion spent in 2009 with most of Quantitative Easing money gone to institutional investors to support the financial markets, financial institutions and banks with bank bailouts due to deregulation, self regulation and light touch regulation to generate immense profits and bankers bonuses. Austerity is very destructive to the economy, business and the people as state supports reduced and withdrawn. The wealthiest including multimillionaires, billionaires and multinational corporations continue to have very low effective tax rates and continue to receive corporate welfare.

  30. Tories from 2010 - 2021 cut £37 billion from social security benefits. Tories have wasted £37 billion on failed Test and Trace programme over two years. Tories wasted £15 billion setting up Universal Credit. Tories have spent billions of Pounds on foreign wars.

  38. Worldwide available atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are at critically low extinction level of 0.04%. When carbon dioxide levels fall to 0.02% all plant photosynthesis will stop leading to the collapse of available atmospheric oxygen and human extinction.

  39. Brexit means the UK will be another US State. Brexit trade deals with the US mean that US citizens, US organisations, US business, US companies and US corporations have the same rights and same access to the UK as British citizens, UK equivalents and UK counterparts. Brexiteers will upset to realise that Brexit trade deals with the US will mean that US citizens will have the rights of freedom of movement in the UK and that US citizens cannot be discriminated for jobs, work, housing, healthcare, education, transport and ensure that American ethnic groups have as much rights as British ethnic groups. Brexit means Americans got their own back after 1776. Still the US will allow the UK to keep the British Monarchy and keep the British flag as their US State flag and have MPs and Peers join their respective US Senate and US Congress.

  41. @maria8809ttt  Austerity is a policy that has always been unnecessary as deficits are an indicator of a healthy economy and economic growth thereby achieving government policy objectives to reduce debt.
    2
  42. @maria8809ttt  The entire capitalist system is a pyramid scheme where those at the lowest parts and base of the pyramid generate wealth that is always transferred to the highest parts and to the apex of the pyramid. However the pyramid can only function to benefit the wealthiest when the majority of its participants have confidence in the pyramid structure, scheme and systems and give valuable time, energy and effort in an attempt to provide themselves with financial security and reward for some being decades of contributions and when that confidence ends so will the capitalist system. Alien disclosure and the revelation that humans do not and have not controlled human civilisation and the disclosure of powerful interdimensional entities and sentient AI also will lead to the end of the capitalist pyramid scheme as people will fundamentally question all aspects of existence, question economic rule and ask how and why the wealthiest have always throughout history benefited whilst the poorest have suffered and continue to suffer greatly.

  43.  @Tensquaremetreworkshop  There are credible and easy to implement solutions to reduce poverty, inequality, deprivation, destitution and homelessness. Austerity, poverty and inequality are political choices by politicians to maintain social and economic power of the wealthiest.
    2
  44.  @Tensquaremetreworkshop  My comment refers to economic inequality. In terms of the World Government there are various organisations such as Central Banks, WEF, Trilateral Commission, UN and WHO, BIS, World Bank, IMF and billionaire foundations that work with governments around the world. The UK has a flawed electoral system that uses First Past The Post electoral system, complicated voter registration system, Photo ID resulting in large electoral majority for parties with low overall vote share and low voter turnout particularly low voter participation by the poor.
    2
  45.  @Tensquaremetreworkshop  British Overseas Territories and British Crown Dependencies are still part of the UK and are therefore not foreign. Tax havens by their very nature are not taxed. The numbers in poverty increase in recessions as greater amounts of wealth is accumulated by those with the most wealth due to political policy as occurred during the pandemic and austerity years following the 2008 banking crisis.
    2
  46.  @Tensquaremetreworkshop  Your comments are not true, someone paying tax does not benefit others. Ideas do not always generate wealth for those creating the ideas, and the top 1% have an effective tax rate between 0% and 0.6%.

  49. 45 years of Thatcherism, privatisation, austerity, poverty, deprivation, destitution, homelessness, cost of living crisis, benefit cuts, cuts to public services, forcing public services to compete against public services for funding, forcing the poor to compete against the poor for council/social housing, has resulted in the fragmentation of society.

  52. @Darren-i1w The UK needs the welfare state and all government spending is from money from the government owned Bank of England. Taxpayers money has never been used to fund welfare and public services. Richard J Murphy has videos on his YouTube channel that explains government finance in detail.

  59. Money Saving Expert had a table from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on retirement. The table shows current age and average life expectancy in 5 year bands with life expectancy reduced from 89 years for those currently aged 80 down to 84 years for those currently aged 40 to 60. ONS has statistics for life expectancy and in many areas the life expectancy is lower and the worst areas have much lower average life expectancy such as 74 years of age. The average life expectancy for the poor and homeless will be much lower.

  69. Almost everything put in place to prevent the conditions for revolution in the UK between 1945 - 1974 has been dismantled, scrapped or removed from 1979 - 2024. Implementation of the 2019 Labour Party manifesto will greatly reduce the conditions for the possibility of future revolution in the UK. The 2019 Labour Party manifesto will resolve and address many of the problems of 45 years of Thatcherism, privatisation, austerity, poverty, deprivation, destitution and homelessness and reduce economic inequality and reduce cost of living crisis by making people feel they are part of society and valued by the Government, Parliament and Monarchy.

  83. @brad9205  There is a bedroom tax as this tax reduces the amount of benefits paid to the benefits claimant. Previous Conservative governments have admitted that the bedroom tax doesn't save money and the only reason the bedroom tax is kept is because the policy is popular among right-wing voters.

  89.  @Tensquaremetreworkshop  Economic inequality reduction to reduce and alleviate poverty is what my previous comments referred to. I have not said anything about everyone earning the same amount. Harmonisation of taxation on earned income and unearned income such as investments will make taxation taxation fairer as a lower percentage of tax will be taken from those with the least wealth. British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies hold tens of trillions of Pounds of untaxed wealth and some of this wealth if taxed could be used to reverse austerity in the UK.

  92. Government liberating pension fund assets to fund UK infrastructure will be a huge mistake for consolidated public sector pension funds and will require compensation from the government in the future. The government could easily use Quantitative Easing to fully fund all UK infrastructure without using any money from public sector pension funds the majority of whose members have small pensions.

Greenland looks to be very large amount of land but Greenland is a lot smaller than seen on many maps however Denmark and Greenland both object to Donald Trump taking Greenland under UD ownership. Donald Trump is a Zionist as is the US government with all senior US leaders being dual Israeli US citizens. Donald Trump will launch war against Iran upon inauguration and war against Russia as Russia has claimed privatised territories belonging to billionaire Zionists and multinational corporations including BlackRock. Donald Trump supports the Trans movement both Transgender and Transhuman. Brexit is designed to align the UK with the US to enable the UK to become another US State under US control and it's what Nigel Farage and Reform wants. Donald Trump will allow the UK to keep the British flag as the UK state flag. Elon Musk is another Zionist billionaire who is best friends with Benjamin Netanyahu. Elon Musk also wants people to have Musk's Neuralink brain chip implant linked to an AI powered Metaverse networked by Starlink.

  101. Austerity has always been unnecessary and purely a political choice. Everything put in place by governments from 1945 - 1974 to prevent the conditions for revolution in the UK have been gradually and systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by by piece by successive British governments since 1979.

Coal is a fossil fuel that the UK has 300 years supply at 1980s rate of use and can provide energy security. Climate change is a scam with extreme weather caused by weather weapons. Planetary levels of carbon dioxide are critically low at 0.04% with plant photosynthesis stopping at 0.02% and mass extinction events starting when levels fall below 1.50% carbon dioxide. Technology for clean unlimited energy exists but is not being used to stop a large increase in the human population and to keep the population under control by those with immense wealth.

  110. New Labour has privatised consolidated public sector pensions to be managed under BlackRock. New Labour wants privatisation because New Labour MPs want to enrich themselves from their billionaire masters.

  111. Government owned Bank of England spent £4 trillion on Quantitative Easing from 2009 - 2022 with £200 billion spent on Quantitative Easing in 2009, with most of this money in recent years gone to institutional investors. Conservative Liberal Democrats coalition government and Conservative government have cut £37 billion from social security benefits from May 2010 - December 2019 with billions of pounds cut from disability benefits. The failed Conservative Test and Trace programme cost £37 billion over two years. The British government controls the money supply through the government owned Bank of England. The British government owned Bank of England gives the government all the money the British government needs and since the Bank of England controls the money supply the government can never become bankrupt and can never become broke. Austerity, benefit cuts, cuts to public services, privatisation, PFI Schemes, borrowing from the markets, deregulation and restricting public spending have never been necessary.

  112. Reversing Brexit will save the government £100 billion a year every year. Quantitative Easing could fully fund all government spending and increase the size of the economy, generate more wealth and more tax revenue. Quantitative Easing could fully fund increased social security benefits, increased state pension, reinstatement of winter fuel allowance and fund renationalisation of public services, renationalisation of water, gas, electricity, telecom, bus, rail, Royal Mail with the end of austerity and also fully fund local government.

  116. Rachel Reeves who could resemble Vera Webster from Superman III is channelling Margaret Thatcher with her voice is hoping that her leader the wooden Clark Kent will save her political career after the worst austerity since 1979. Harmonisation of tax on both earned and unearned income will reduce the cuts. Scrapping new PFI schemes and converting existing PFI schemes to traditional design cost and build will reduce future debt. Nationalisation of privatised companies could massively reduce costs and lower utility bills. The UK joining the EU Single Market and Customs Union will boost growth and improve the economy.

  118. ​ @keithparker1346  The UK could rejoin the EU by realigning standards and policy that has diverged since Brexit with a referendum to rejoin the EU. Ending austerity by additional investment and increased money supply for public investment and social security benefits will boost the economy through investment and promote growth. The only ones who have gained from Brexit are wealthy Tories, Conservative Party donors, some of those with non domiciled status and billionaires. Brexit has meant austerity for the many and prosperity for the few. The UK has always been a sovereign state before, during and after EEC and EU membership.

  120.  @keithparker1346  Housing, low wages, cost of living and wealth inequality in the UK are policies determined by British politicians in the British Parliament running successive British Governments. Unfortunately for the UK the policies are promoted and supported by the British political system using First Past The Post electoral system, complicated voter registration system that reduces voter participation, Photo Voter ID that turns away some voters and lack of publicity for alternative and independent political candidates and political parties. The mainstream media advocates the worldview of the wealthiest, the wealthiest in the UK and the British Monarchy that all support policies that lead to housing issues, cost of living and wealth inequality with trickle up economics that lead to the richest becoming ever richer by making the poor even poorer.

  126. Climate change is a policy by the WEF to enrich the wealthiest on the planet by extracting the wealth from everyone else. Decarbonisation is a scam as it means mass extinction events and lower levels of oxygen. Extreme weather events are due to the use of weather weapons banned by the UN in 1978. WEF Great Reset and UN Agenda 2030 should be scrapped to protect the planet's population from Bond villain cardboard cut outs ruling the world.

  130. The language used in votes in Parliament is deliberately confusing and opaque using multiple modifications where votes in favour of one position could easily mean the opposite position. Plain English in Parliamentary votes with all modification removed clearly stating whether the vote opposes or favours the vote/motion will make Parliamentary votes easier to understand. The system of Parliamentary Whips should be abolished with all Parliamentary votes being free votes where the MPs and Peers can vote based on their conscience or lack of conscience.

  131. Rachel Reeves is channelling Vera Webster and she believes that Keir Starmer is her leader with powers from Thatcherite Krypton but like in Superman 3 their failed ideology will be their undoing. Austerity, privatisation, benefit cuts and cuts to public services have always been unnecessary as the government owned Bank of England provides all the money government needs without using taxpayers money. The government controls the money supply through the government owned Bank of England. There is no £22 billion black hole as the government owned Bank of England could easily create any amount of money to meet government spending requirements. Bank of England has spent £4 trillion on Quantitative Easing from 2009 - 2022 with £200 billion spent in 2009. Therefore the cuts to public spending are pure electioneering ideology to appease the Thatcherites media and Tory voters supporting Reform who want to privatise all public services, privatise the NHS and scrap the welfare state.

  132. US Brexit trade deals with the UK mean the US and US citizens cannot be discriminated against with their UK and British citizens counterparts for access to the UK for goods, services, contracts, public services including NHS privatisation. US Brexit trade deals published by the US government in 2019 means that a US citizen born in Birmingham, Alabama, US has the same equal rights to public services in the UK as a person born in Birmingham, West Midlands, US. Brexiteers will be upset that US Brexit trade deals means freedom of movement for US citizens in the UK. US Brexit trade deals means the UK will be required to accept US FDA Food Defects Manual on food and drink quality along with food additives banned by the EU. US Brexit trade deals means the UK becomes another US State.

  133. Geoengineering Watch with Dane Wigington has history and resources on geoengineering projects. Weather weapons were banned by the UN in 1978. Mass extinction events always occur when planetary levels of carbon dioxide fall below 150 parts per million, (1.50%). Planetary levels of carbon dioxide are at 4 parts per million (0.04%). When available levels of planetary atmospheric carbon dioxide fall to 2 parts per million (0.02%) then all plant photosynthesis will end with the catastrophic collapse if available atmospheric oxygen in addition to crop failures. Levels of carbon dioxide have been as low as 3 parts per million or 0.03%. The planet and human civilisation need carbon dioxide, need nitrogen and need oxygen. Climate change agenda is terraforming the planet and terraforming the people. Planetwide temperature data gas been rigged by removing thousands of sensors and relocating sensors to areas of higher temperatures to skew data.

  139. The UK needs to start rebuilding its fully nationalised and automated coal industry and build many new coal fired power stations with filters and scrubbers to remove pollution as the UK has 300 years of coal at 1980s rate of use and if coal received the same subsidies as nuclear power and renewable would mean people could be paid to use energy from coal. Water needs to be fully nationalised with new water desalination plants and new waste water treatment plants with new large scale reservoirs and water supply grid. Leeds is one example where a demolished former coal fired power station site Skelton Grange near the River Aire has been sold to Microsoft for a £106.6 million data centre and AI. BRICS are massively industrialising their economies and will be the future industrial heartlands of the planet whilst the Collective West of North America and Europe become impoverished deindustrialised economic wasteland following the billionaire and trillionaire WEF ideology.

  140. Parliamentary Reform: Get Parliament Working Again People with disabilities could be trained to be Parliamentarian Work Coaches to monitor, supervise and assess MPs and Peers work and performance to better support Parliamentarians and Get Parliament Working Again by driving up Parliamentarians quality and quantity of work and reduce absence of MPs and Peers who spend too much time on their additional jobs. Interventional therapies provided by the trained disabled can be used with joined up support to stop Parliamentarians absence and attend Parliamentarians constituency offices and Parliamentarians other locations of work for Parliamentarians other jobs to ensure MPs and Peers fulfill their obligations if unable to attend Parliament and constituency offices. In this way all Parliamentarians can be more accountable and representative to their constituents. There needs to be extra intervention for MPs and Peers with high levels of absence from their constituency offices to reduce Parliamentarian shirkers.

Government owned Bank of England has spent £4 trillion on Quantitative Easing from 2009 - 2022 with £200 billion spent in 2009 with most of the Quantitative Easing money gone to institutional investors.

Austerity, benefit cuts, cuts to public services, privatisation and Brexit is wealth transfer from the people and UK to the wealthiest on the planet.

One of the biggest causes of poverty in the UK is very low benefits, benefit cuts, benefits sanctions, benefit debts, benefit loans and stress caused by DWP where every encounter with DWP could risk a benefits claimant losing benefits money and potentially becoming homeless and losing everything. MPs and Peers would only feel similar stress if they were banned from accessing their wealth and that every encounter with their constituents and every visit to Parliament meant the MP or Peer risks losing their job under instant dismissal in other words it's the same situation for many poor benefit claimants reliant on social security benefits.

  186. Margaret Thatcher's governments are responsible for starting the Rip Off Britain Project using privatisation and deregulation that will have continued for almost 50 years by the time of next general election. British privatisation is the selling off publicly owned companies, assets and resources owned by all British citizens without giving all British citizens full informed consent and without giving British citizens a vote on privatisation. British governments have never owned nationalised companies as the British government has only ever been responsible for their management and operations on behalf of the true owners the British citizens. Privatisation is the equivalent of selling the property of the property owners back to the property owners for a fee paid by the property owners and then charging the property owners more money to use the property owners property with increased charges to manage the billing process and pay others by the use of dividends from additional costs to the property owners. In other words privatisation is a scam on the people.

Any MP or Peer with a household net worth including property exceeding GBP £10 million will mean MPs and Peers will not be eligible for any Parliamentary salary, not receive any Parliamentary pension, not receive any Parliamentary expenses. If new co-living projects approved from 2023/2024 onwards are not scrapped and converted into traditional housing where each household has their own contained living facilities then MPs and Peers who live outside London should be expected to live in co-living facilities near the Houses of Parliament with all Parliamentary payments towards MPs homes scrapped.

  207. The Prime Minister's proposed fraud, error and debt bill will impose draconian legislation on over 22 million people to save £10 billion from fraud and error every year that New Labour MPs say is unsustainable. Yet £10 billion is 0.82% of the government budget for 2024/2025. The same government is giving Ukraine the most corrupt country in Europe £3 billion a year for the next 100 years. The British government has also said it will cut £3 billion from disability benefits, benefits for the most vulnerable in the UK. British Conservative governments from May 2010 - December 2019 cut £37 billion from social security benefits with billions of pounds cut from disability benefits. Boris Johnson's government spent £37 billion over two years on the failed private Test and Trace programme. Conservative governments were said to allowed £35 billion to be lost to fraud on additional COVID lockdown benefits, however whilst Universal Credit claimants received an extra £20 a week the same government with Rishi Sunak as Chancellor outright refused to give legacy benefit claimants the same £20 uplift, resulting in legacy benefits many of whom are disabled losing over £1,000 each over the year. Conservative governments have spent £15 billion to set up Universal Credit without paying a single benefit claimant. The money would have been better spent increasing social security benefits. There's also the £23 billion in unclaimed social security benefits. Politicians imposing austerity, benefit cuts, cuts to public services and welfare reform make claiming disability benefits as difficult as possible is dehumanising and inhuman and demonstrates that these policies are Neoliberal ideology and a political choice never a necessity as tge government owned Bank of England could easily fund any additional government spending without adversely affecting the British economy.

Gordon Brown only used PFI Schemes to hide the extent of spending Government money on contracts in the private sector to make New Labour look prudent. The EU banned the practice of hiding PFI Schemes contracts being hidden. Existing PFI contracts are expected to cost hundreds of billions of pounds extra over the lifetime of the contracts then traditional non PFI Schemes. Indeed Keir Starmer is the Labour version of Liz Truss and Rachel Reeves is the Labour version of Kwasi Kwarteng. Not even a box of lettuce can save Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves reputation on the economy. Tighter financial services regulations would have greatly reduced the impact of the banking and financial crisis and massively reduced bank bailout and reduced austerity. Nigel Farage like Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves also supports deregulation and self regulation of financial services and the US model of local government where council services are privatised and contracts issued to private businesses over large annual banquets by Elected Mayors.
