Thats probably the best article you've ever posted on here

Its weird that the tories keep reffering to a non-existent magic money tree though. Its just a weak little catchphrase, and its probably working... Labour has more money to spend than tories because they're taxing corporations a little more, and earning billions that way... whilst the tories are looking out for the rich.

I wasn't going to watch this, im more interested in the debates than Q&As.. but maybe I should

The Magic Money tree works when MPs need a raise, give it a shake and hey presto a 7, 8, 9, 10 per cent rise, pick your number

It's so bizarre that this is even a question, people really have no idea, do they?

All these questions have been asked and answered or semi-answered time and time again. I'm getting much more enjoyment atm reading and watching the economists on both sides. Mariana Mazzucato-Professor in the Economics of Innovation at the University of Sussex, is my all time favourite. Here she is talking about how we create sustainable growth and why its not happening in the UK now. In this video she talks about de-risking compared to taking risks. That a government shouldn't just be a lender of last resort but a spender of new ideas. Market shaping, market creating and not just market fixing.

Unfortunately I don't think many people have much interest in economics.

I agreed with the Tweet that said the audience won.Both politicians were playing Q&A dodgeball.
