There is much more here than miaow. It is that the topos of the evil mainstream media becomes entrenched on the right and candidates use it - even though they do not believe it. /1

So it's all about Boris Johnson being a "golden goose" by bringing money to the party, sources shady or not.
Nice to see that all written down in a public thread.

Possibly the clearest chart I've yet seen on the Brexit impact on trade - and to be clear this is exactly what economic theory and observed reality said would happen if a country puts up trade barriers to neighbours.
Every time I think Sunak might be marginally less appalling than Truss, he makes me revisit that assessment. They're both beyond help, beyond parody, beyond the worst imaginings of dystopian fiction, and all too hideously real
It would be so much more useful if he‘d try to explain what he wants to do after he shredded Beethoven‘s 9th symphony. #DesperateNonsense

Aha ! 👏 to @bbcnickrobinson for asking if "Brexit" had been a cause of dentist shortage in UK

The idea that satirical mocking of Brexit shows a terrible bias (see also Private Eye letters) illustrates the inability of Brexiters to accept that, having won, they are now 'the Establishment' and, therefore, legitimate targets for satirical mockery. TL:DR You won, get over it.
A temporary German energy and economic crisis is entirely manageable. A Germany that ultimately concludes that Europe is too weak to stand up to Putin would lead to genuine calamity. My recent @NewStatesman column: newstatesman.com/world/europe/2…

Tax cuts for the rich lead to higher income inequality. But they do not have any significant effect on economic growth or unemployment. Evidence for 18 OECD countries over 1965-2015 in this new paper published in Socio-Economic Review:
It is one of the paradoxes of British politics that, after 12 years of Conservative government, there is a howling void where "conservatism" used to be. The result, as I wrote in 2019, "may be a zombie party, whose destructive power is no longer guided by a living intelligence".
After the stab-in-the-back myth some Tories now seem to go full Trump by attacking a Parliamentary Committee set up to look into Johnson misleading parliament before it has even started its work.
Johnson's tearing up of the rules seems to simply continue.

Why for a German magazine? Should rather be all over the British media.
I did an extended interview for German magazine Stern tonight. I said that unless Truss and the Bank of England change their policies people will die from the cold and hunger this winter. It brings me no comfort to say so, but the truth had to be told, and I think this certain.
EXC: A Big intervention tonight - Gordon Brown calls for an immediate agreement between the leadership candidates and PM over an emergency cost of living package.

Liz Truss, the Daily Mail and the Brexit right go after the Bank of England for not preventing 13 % inflation. It’s bullshit. If interest rates had increased 6 months earlier inflation might be 12.5 %. It’s war, Brexit and gas prices causing inflation. The rest is truth denial.
After her speech is interrupted by protestors, Liz Truss tells the audience she will bring in new legislation to stop "our democracy being disrupted by unfair protests."
So finally there they are, those Brexit benefits. Brace, Britain. Brace.

High time for the EU to sanction Gerhard Schröder! Is Germany too corrupt even to sanction Putin’s foremost agent in Europe? He has not worked for Germany since 2005. Face reality!

OUCH. @KayBurley is absolutely wiping the floor with Truss over that awful policy. Truss refuses to admit the policy was a mistake.

The Bank of England has issued a catastrophic set of forecasts for the UK economy that would have been scarcely believable a year ago: thetimes.co.uk/article/bank-o…
Wondering how long even the Tories can now afford toying with a trade war over the NI protocol.
NEW: 🚨
*Bank of England raises interest rates by 0.5% to 1.75%, biggest rise in 25 years,
*as it predicts an even higher peak in inflation of 13 (THIRTEEN) %
🚨 Bank predicts recession starting this year lasting as long as financial crisis (5 quarters), as deep as 1990s
