      <description>&lt;p&gt;If only there was a human rights lawyer / political leader of sound moral principles who could form a coalition of the willing to secure a peace plan.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;OBR: We have to kill old people and starve the children of the poor in order to keep funding our expensive wars and ensure the rich get richer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Labour: Let&amp;rsquo;s get to it!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Office for Budget Responsibility’s forecast for the national debt is a worthless exercise by economically illiterate fantasists &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/09/13/the-office-for-budget-responsibilitys-forecast-for-the-national-debt-is-a-worthless-exercise-by-economically-illiterate-fantasists/&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;invisible&#34;&gt;https://www.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;ellipsis&#34;&gt;taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;invisible&#34;&gt;9/13/the-office-for-budget-responsibilitys-forecast-for-the-national-debt-is-a-worthless-exercise-by-economically-illiterate-fantasists/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The Office for Budget Responsibility has forecast that UK debt will rise to 300% of GDP in 50 years because they think it impossible that taxes can rise above current levels, even though state spending will reach 60% of GDP in their opinion. All they prove is their own lack of imagination and competence by doing so.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Labour&amp;rsquo;s self-imposed, arbitrary and &amp;ldquo;binding&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;fiscal rules&amp;rdquo; are the same as the Tories&#39; Austerity policies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Political choices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The same choices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So much for change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Original &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.resurgence.org/magazine/article3915-the-money-revolution.html&#34;&gt;link to the article&lt;/a&gt; from 11 years ago:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;img src=&amp;ldquo;&lt;a href=&#34;https://eu.uploads.micro.blog/2588/2024/aff6bf0626.jpg%22&#34;&gt;https://eu.uploads.micro.blog/2588/2024/aff6bf0626.jpg&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; alt=&amp;ldquo;&amp;ldquo;Economic ignorance is almost a qualification for the highest office in governments, treasuries and central banks. To appreciate this, just listen to almost anything George Osborne has to say on the subject – as he blindly drives the UK economy into a continued and deepening recession.&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;
