Guavanaut posted:What's the current death toll from austerity? 120k during the Coalition years, estimated a further 80k since. To put in perspective: one in every 350 people in Britain has been killed by Tory policy since 2010, and approximately one in every 30 deaths is a result of austerity. Austerity is the 7th most common cause of death in the UK, ahead of breast cancer and prostate cancer.

Government surplus death statistics, which is to say the number of deaths above the expected norm adjusted for weather. They're not all starvation - it includes deaths by suicide, "not suicide" and illness induced by poor life situation among others.

There's a new Novara show up with Matt Zarb-Cousin and some other guy talking a lot about Venezuela. I've just listened to the latest Popular Front with Giancarlo Fiorella and it's like Novara was trying to hit all the bad talking points covered by Fiorella. Lots of joking about the foreign man's funny name (Guaido, how wacky!) and how they haven't heard of him. I'm usually a fan of Novara but this was embarrassing Another highlight: no deal brexit is a great opportunity for the left ContinuityNewTimes fucked around with this message at 13:24 on Feb 1, 2019 |

I think people would be surprised just how much official statistics get published about Britain and sometimes the whole of the UK. NI usually does its own thing. Child poverty statistics stopped getting updated after 2013

So the ifo institute thinks that the only solution is a customs union for goods and free movement in Ireland. Any backstop leads to the UK staying in the backstop. Any timed backstop leads to the hardish Brexit in favour of the UK. However, the ifo suggestion seems an compromise that asks a lot of compromising from the EU and less of the UK. The UK retains trade control over services, which is basically the only thing that the UK produces, it further gets to have free choice on immigration, and no issues with imports of goods. The EU doesn't lose the UK as an export market, but on the other hand, would have to accept the UK likely being a financial/banking harbor with combination to free-goods trade right at the gate of the EU. It would also have to give up on free movement, which makes it not unlikely that the EU will just break apart and die. It's strange this suggestion comes from ifo, but I guess its gotta be financed mostly by German export business. I would personally never forgive any EU politican who goes for such an idiotic plan.

For a hard Brexit, the projected impact on the EU, worst case, is like a 3% GDP drop for a year or two. It sucks, but we'll live. Impact for the UK seems to be much higher, catastrophic even. But for some reason, hard Brexit is a bargaining point for the UK? And also, it seems the EU is caring mightily lot about the welfare of the UK citizens, risking the continutation of the EU in the future, even though there is rethoric of the most vicious kind against the EU, its politicans and its people in the UK every day. Frankly, the EU should be done talking. UK can hard Brexit or cancel Brexit, preferably asap.

Impact for the UK seems to be much higher, catastrophic even. But for some reason, hard Brexit is a bargaining point for the UK? it cannot be stated enough that Brexit is a loving delusional idea. You absolutely won't find a Brexiter who has a remotely sane understanding of the UK's place in the world. poo poo, last year the EU tagged in with China and crushed the economies of a few Trump states because he tried to introduce tariffs on EU goods. They announced the targeted attack on trump-state-specific exports within a day. Brexiters genuinely believe that a government that hasn't even been close to functional in decades will deal with this by smiting the EU on a whim, and if you ask them how that's going to work the most common response I've heard is "germany buys our cars so we can destroy them"
