Listening to @bbclaurak interviewing Mandy. More money on defence, education, child safety, health and the economy but under no circumstances increase spending. #MagicMoneyTree

When I first got involved in local government, money was so tight that councils had to sell assets to invest in school buildings. Now the govt gives out loans to councils to โ€˜balance the budgetโ€™ and makes spending choices like this! #magicmoneytree #defence
Replying to @wesstreeting
Case in point: the Prime Minister just said defence is "a number one priority". Growth was meant to the number one priority, is it still? There's not enough money for defence, but today the Government announced ยฃ4.5 BILLION for walking and cycling. Make choices. Decide. Lead.

"The bond market will fund a tunnel. (?!) It will fund a railway" "ยฃ110bn of infrastructure spending is bond - financed off balance against future toll fare revenues. Excluded from fiscal deficit calculations above; consistent with infrastructure bond treatment." #MagicMoneyTree

That the economics of central banking currency debasement are absolutely unsustainable shall not be widely recognized until every serf is transformed into a pauper and ๐Ÿ’ธ products of the federal reserve #MagicMoneyTree cease to have value and are openly refused for transactions.
#CentralBanking, fiat tender, taxation, and peasant disarmament / standing army policies and laws are key to establishing, maintaining and growing the anti-democratic exceptionally coercive peasant wealth extraction rackets that affectionately label themselves modern governments.

Exactly !?. Really our re entry price back into the #EU against the vote of the British people. Itโ€™s *our* money too or more exactly, our grandchildrenโ€™s debt. #MagicMoneyTree again. :(

Plenty of Money for Illegal immigrants - but nothing in the pot for our own The decision to award sizeable compensation to illegal immigrants, after their phones were confiscated for security checks, is utterly ludicrous. Their phones were taken for legitimate safeguarding purposes, including attempting to verify identities and checking for extremist content or organisedโ€‘crime involvement. That is standard practice in many countries. Meanwhile, the British taxpayer is already covering every aspect of life for people who here arrive illegally: accommodation, food, clothing, healthcare, legal support, entertainment, travel. And now weโ€™re expected to pay compensation on top of everything else? Itโ€™s indefensible. We must question a government that seems determined to throw taxpayer money around like confetti while ignoring British people who have fallen on hard times. We have veterans - men and women who served in uniform, who risked their lives for this country - sleeping on rough on the streets. Some die on the streets. We have British pensioners freezing in their own homes because they canโ€™t afford to turn the heating on. Many are forced to choose heat or eat. Yet the governmentโ€™s priority is compensating people who entered the country illegally. How can anyone look at that and call it fair? How can anyone defend these choices? #TaxpayersMoney #GovernmentFailure #PrioritiesMatter #MagicMoneyTree @RupertLowe10 @RestoreBritain_ @benhabib6 @_AdvanceUK

The billions from this particular #MagicMoneyTree should have been spent reinstating decommissioned branch lines and improving local public transport infrastructure if we are really serious about reducing car dependency. Oh, hang on, as a nation we don't GAF about that. ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜ฟ

"MMT analysis... shows that the government implements policy" that must "cause financial poverty." Yes, but... Few do this "on purpose" IMO. IMO, most believe the silly lies: No #MagicMoneyTree, UK borrows its own fiat money, which is finite, for a national household budget... ๐Ÿคช

Of course, the problem with all that is that the more people that choose the latter path, the fewer will follow the former path to pay for it! I guess this is where the Socialist #MagicMoneyTree comes in! Don't be like @lewis_goodall - get a life!! END/

How many of you have unintentionally swallowed the govt's household analogy line when it comes to spending & borrowing. Every single govt has always tried to pull the wool over our eyes with this, & so many still accept it #magicmoneytree
