1/15:  A very long thread, but I need to get this off my chest. Please bear with me.  In this country we have a monetary system which, if used correctly, can serve our people and our planet in a way that benefits all of us. 2/15:   Gov't has at its disposal a currency which it can produce by parliamentary decree - a fiat currency - to spend for whatever purpose it chooses, deciding how much it needs based upon what real resources it has at its disposal to carry out its agenda.

I've supported and voted Labour since the Jim Callaghan gov't of '76. I joined Labour when Corbyn became leader as he gave me, and 1000s of others, a sight of the type of society I want. I left when the party destroyed him and, with him, the chance of a better world. (1/5) For a current shadow minister to say she is glad that I, and 1000s of others, left because we don't "share her values" and that it has "rid the party of the stain of antisemitism" is deeply offensive. For her to go on to lie about the EHRC report insults even further. (2/5)
