Max Mosley
Senior Economist at the New Economics Foundation and Labour Councillor for Brentford East
- We’re still only just learning about the true scale of the building crisis in PFI schools - worth reading this article covering the pretty extraordinary statements from officials at yesterday’s inquiry 👇
- Encouraging to see our latest @neweconomics.bsky.social analysis quoted in Parliament today
- Reposted by Max MosleyThere is an iceberg dead ahead. My colleague @maxmosley.bsky.social with his other hat on has spotted it. We can all see it. The government needs to change course now.
- 🚨 NEW: ahead of today's debate on the changes to disability benefits, we've been digging into the claim that the rise in claims is disproportionate to the level of need. Here’s what @pollardtom.bsky.social and I found 👇 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
- Reposted by Max MosleyImportant thread about disability benefits that MPs & public urgently need to understand! <50% of disabled people claim benefits!

- 📢 Some (more!) personal news: I'm really excited to announce that I'll be joining @neweconomics.bsky.social as their Senior Economist

- Supposedly the farmers IHT will raise just 500m? I think what we all need is a ‘Revenue vs Squabble O’Meter’ when designing policy and I for one am willing to construct such a thing
