“More than one market commentator tells me that Donald Trump is having his Liz Truss moment - when markets lose confidence in the direction and competence of economic policy makers.

In just a matter of days, Trump has managed to wipe over a years worth of gains in the world economy. The grim reality is this affects the small time savers the most: peoples pensions, people who invest in Stocks and Shares ISA’s etc. It’s brutal.

Couldn’t be bothered with April Fools today, so am just keeping my girlfriend on edge all morning staring suspiciously at things around the flat. Told her to expect a big one this year. That’s it.

I have this sinking feeling in my stomach… whilst I am glad that Len Pen is barred from standing in the next presidential election, I worry history shows that it could come back to bite us all in the backside

This is opinion polling for the 2025 Canadian federal election.
