At this point you have to wonder whether Labour's leadership is intellectually or psychologically equipped to cope with the consequences of a potential financial market crash
(Once again) this is a Brexit reflection. ‘Global’ Britain was meant to mitigate losses from Brexit and surpass EU membership. That ‘vision’ was based on trade deals and liberalised ‘fair’ immigration. The latter is now being dismantled and the former relies on no defunct liberal multilateralism.
Trade folk (including myself) are unconvinced there is much of a growth dividend for Rachel Reeves from agreements with India, EU, and US. Just as there's no evidence of positive impact from independent UK trade policy since 2021. www.politico.eu/article/rach...

I agree completely, but would also ask what other political leaders really ever are?

Independent SAGE is mentioned in the report of module 2 of the UK Covid Inquiry.

"Much comment and expertise existed in the public domain, with
Independent SAGE (see below) being one of the most visible commentators."

Labour is desperately trying to appeal to Reform supporters. In October, we asked people in the UK if they perceive a party as a "party for someone like them". Only very few people say this for both Labour and Reform. The correlation is negative. Labour is chasing an electorate that does not exist.

‼️ Friends, this is very important. Please share to whoever this may concern, especially if you are in the United States.

Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.

I agree completely. I’m able to do it, and for the small print I have my glasses ready… It’s a crime, in my book, to behave as if we own the earth. We don’t.

Wouldn’t that be nice. Straightforward. Similar with estate agents. Why is this? Do they have a “reputation” to live up to?🤔

Today, Ukraine honors the memory of the millions of Ukrainians who perished during the Holodomor — a man-made famine engineered by the Soviet regime to destroy a nation.

It was not just a tragedy. It was a crime — calculated, ruthless, and meant to break the spirit of Ukraine forever.

Oil and gas lobbyists have no legitimate role at climate conferences.
