Bombshell new poll from @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social shows economic optimism at its lowest level we have EVER seen. Remember - Ipsos have been recording this since 1978! So economic optimism now lower than during winter of discontent, financial crash or Covid. www.thetimes.com/article/8b29...

Nobel Prizes by country and year. The dominance of Germany is striking every time. Before 1933, that is. And the utter dominance of America (and the UK) after 1945.
