The local Turkish shop has weird AI videos playing on a loop on its sign.
One is of a cat sitting on a swing playing a guitar and another is of a cat sitting on a sofa shaving a watermelon.
The future is rubbish.

With no hope or expectation, until this government tells a positive story about this country including immigrants then Reform will keep on winning.
Sure, delivery. But that has to be in the service of a better vision.

As the risk of financial market malfunction climbs again to an uncomfortable and worrisome level, this is not just about a "game of chicken" on tariffs between China and the US.
It is also developing into one between the Administration and the Federal Reserve.
There is a lot at stake here.

In fact "if you think globalisation was bad wait till you see what deglobalisation is like. In fact we got a taste of it with Brexit, didn't we, and that's been a sh1tshow. So we're not turning inward"* would be a far more cheerful message for business to hear.

J.P. Morgan econs on Trump’s latest are “increasingly concerned that the policy mix may tilt into an unintentionally far less business-friendly stance. The sustained 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico set to start this weekend is materially different than the tariff increases built into our baseline.”
