As I have been saying for months, the trend down is about 100 jobs lost per day. That's 700 fewer people earning and spending money - week. A million dollars of wages gone. Every week. The reduced demand compounds. It's not fking complicated folks. It's not vibes. [2/n]
This misleading crap just gets spilled out into the media with barely any challenge. The purpose of course is to convince us that cuts to public services and the sale of assets to rentiers are all very necessary indeed. TINA. Let's unpick these manipulative stats... [🧵1/n]

Those were the days.
Today ACT own them, lock, stock and smoking barrel.
