Interesting. German Intelligence have just arrested two suspected Russia spies, they had US Sec Defence Hegseth's private phone number in their mobiles. (Der Speigel)

JD Vance kids of death. More like Liz truss every day

Let the Chinese languish in the 18th century industries of chips, smartphones, computers and personal electronics - safe behind the tariff wall, the US shall regain superpower status by dominanting the jobs of the future: little paper napkin and sock manufacturing.

All of this and why after 14 looong years of waiting (very impatiently and angrily) for a Labour government. Ok so disappointed and feel the rage bubbling again. What a let down.

My God I can’t stand listening to Israeli representatives on TV. Talking on Sky News now calling the presenter “woke” fuck off

The UK exports £360bn of goods to the EU, on which we now struggle with big non tariff barriers, compared to £60bn to the US. Imagine looking at this sh1tshow and thinking it vindicates Brexit in any way.

I think this the first time Brexit has appeared as an attack line in a major English speaking political campaign.

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.

It’s bad isn’t it…. Who will it be worst for is the question

BREAKING | Donald Trump signs off Keir Starmer’s controversial Chagos Islands deal

Was watching the big short again last night (great movie) and it made me think for all the US bangs on about how much they pay for defence, what about their country destroying all our economies which have never really recovered. Yep think you owe us reparations!!

Yay @suzeinthesun.bsky.social has finally made it over

Free speech latest…

Hand over all the power plants in your country to the US and 50% of your minerals and we will help broker a peace deal where you give up a big chunk of your country to Putin, among other things.

Fuck me, he's had his Weetabix

Just spent day reading about the collapse of the British car industry. The lack of vision, the managerial incompetence, the strategic insularity, the complacent reliance on ‘world-class’ marques, the constant short-termism, bad labour relations. And I thought: yup, there go our universities too.

Deeply concerning news about our friend and former BF teammate Rebecca Burke whose backpacking trip to the US has ended with her being detained by ICE for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release. Please read her father's statement here: www.facebook.com/paulrburke

Wow

Good morning S&P 500

New from me - is it possible we are actually at peak populism? This post is an exercise in working through a scenario - I may very well be wrong. But also, outside of America, I think something is shifting. Because of America. 1/n benansell.substack.com/p/twilight-o...

So no reports of pensioners dying over the winter because they didn’t have the WFA and now no evidence that state schools are being overwhelmed with private school pupils due to VAT. Who would have thought?!

I see it’s Polands turn to catch the wrath of the Trump administration

Andrew Neil in The Telegraph: Perhaps it’s time to ask if I’ve been wrong about everything ever.
