Another contemporary accused the Reform leader of being a “complete liar” in an interview on Tuesday afternoon. Andy Field, a GP who was two years below Farage at Dulwich, said he had directly witnessed racial abuse from the Reform leader.

Yes, there are spending multipliers etc - and yes, Kuenssberg spouted vacuous talking points.

BUT.

There is a bond market (or more generally a macro) constraint to borrowing, as there was in the 2010s - we just weren't near it then. Dodging the issue/pretending it doesn't exist isn't a policy.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social on the importance of spending multipliers & borrowing to invest

Zack is, without doubt, a great communicator. And on him talking about democracy & the bond markets I'm reminded of Eddie Dempsey at the Durham Miners Gala when he asked "who elected the bond market?"

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...
Rachel Reeves hopes trade deals can save Britain’s budget. Economists aren’t convinced.
With a difficult budget looming, the chancellor has increasingly turned her gaze overseas.

A stark warning.

Could it be major insurers with stacks of private credit in their balance sheet who go under if the crisis in private credit deepens?

Warren Buffett’s final letter to shareholders.

My favourite two lines:

“Kindness is costless but also priceless”

“Keep in mind that the cleaning lady is as much a human being as the Chairman.”

Warren we salute you 🫡 🇺🇸

I have been a business reporter for 13 years and would strongly advise against signing up for a 50-year mortgage, for multiple reasons, including the amount of interest it would accrue and the likelihood of discriminatory lending rates.
