When Juvenal coined his scathing phrase about Roman politicians, he inspired two thousand years of cynicism, of conspiracy theories, of scepticism. The master manipulators, seeking to distract from ideological failings, from corruption and drudgery, through gaudy entertainments and cheap bread. Panem et circenses,.

LEAP - the Left Economics Advisory Panel. Follow us on twitter @LEAPeconomics. Thursday, 14 May 2015. UK labour market update - May 2015. A brief analysis of the. ONS Labour Market Statistics. Published on 13 May. Unemployment has continued to fall modestly, but there seems to be some level of displacement into underemployment - and the recent rises in vacancy numbers appears to have ended. It may be that this points to a plateau-ing in the numbers, rather than an imminent downturn. 16 May 2015 at 08:05.

John McDonnell for Leader? | Reason and Revolt
https://reasonandrevolt.wordpress.com/2010/05/17/john-mcdonnell-for-leader

Without feeling the need to develop the argument, that the only suitable candidate for the hard left to endorse is John McDonnell (unless Michael Meacher or another suitable MP should announce an interest in doing so). Posted by Reason and Revolt. Filed in Labour Party. A Very Public Sociolo...

Burn All You Know. A word about my personal philosophy. It is anchored in optimism. It must be for optimism brings with it hope, a future with a purpose, and therefore, a will to fight for a better world.

The Financial Times has replicated the model of government borrowing used by the independent Office for Budget Responsibility, which suggests the structural deficit in 2011-12 is now 12bn higher than thought, a rise of 25 per cent.
