DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:if keir loses seats he’s out and the actual labor right is going to go full mask off and put their guy in. keir is a patsy to wreck the left, he’s not actually a part of the hard core labor right. Keir is their guy and gave the labour far right everything they were baying for. I don't believe they know who they can turn to. I legitimately can't name a competent and charismatic centrist or a social democrat in the UK. Sturgeon possibly The vanguards of centrism in the UK are hideous bloated gammons like Starmer and Ed Balls who repulse younger people

The actor who played Dave in 2001 was called Keir. Keith is the Labour equivalent of "Call me Dave" Cameron. Something something HAL is the AI Deep State apparatus ensuring we only get to vote for one of two slightly different used-car salesmen. Also prawn cocktail Quavers seem to be back.

Centrists are incapable of doing any analysis except X won an election therefore be like X. Ignoring how circumstances led to X winning or how they've changed The right are god awful but they at least know how to talk to win because they know their platform isn't liked

Fox News doing monarchism is a real thing. oliwan posted:
Is the concept of "political sketch writer" something that exists in other countries? Or is it a relic of dumb rules about reporting on parliament? A profession that attracts some of the least funny people in the world who are convinced they are exceptionally witty, like Quentin Letts.

This is true to a degree (housing, healthcare and food are not included in inflation indices) but even with that the Fed is predicting 3-4% inflation and Wall Street 5-6% There's only so long you can keep printing trillions of dollars into the economy before it starts cascading through the system

QE was largely given to big institutions and they mainly used it in the financial industry. It's not like Jeff Bezos will buy 1 million tv or something and the people who would buy actual consumer goods have not benefited from the money printer.

It's not like Jeff Bezos will buy 1 million tv or something and the people who would buy actual consumer goods have not benefited from the money printer.  any economy with trillions of consumer debt can easily skip inflationary pressure entirely by dumping money into the economy for the sole purpose and employment of the people with the debts. This isn't 1980, more money = more inflation is not an accurate model of how it functions and we don't have to pretend it ever was. Ignoring the velocity of money, the nature and amount of circulations a given dollar makes, and the existence of accumulation reduces the argument to National Credit Card Spend Bad >  levels of insane liberal praxeology.It's not even a tiny bit relevant to the US because they've made sure to maximise inflation by lying about and cancelling their only good policy for years, they're going to be hosed by the trillions pouring straight into the invisible offshored capital reserves of multinationals. It's relevant to us though, it was the entire point of not-poo poo labour's industrial policy for 3 years.
