Absolutely no sympathy for Home Secretary from me. Home office has decided to renege on rules it previously made. It deserves every terrible headline and more.

I did try ri recommend on my trading floor but it didn’t catch on.

Shame because it’s fairly universal …

If Labour cannot denounce mass deportation of permanent residents, Idi Amin style, what is the point of them?

Honestly our government (since at least 2016) is the worst thing about us as a country.

A final note. This country has amazing people in the private sector, in universities, in charities, in schools and hospitals and the police, in the civil service. And frankly, the lack of clarity, the lack of vision, the lack of basic decency from many of our politicians is letting us all down.

and most seriously, the political economy of ubiquitous passive ownership, which turns the stock market from a sharp-incentive information processor to an instrument to be stimulated and stabilized for macro (if you want to be nice about it) or patronage (less nice) purposes. /fin

Oh I think they'll eventually lose, but how violently they do is the big unanswered risk.

In that context behaviour of cops in Chicago, New York and San Diego might be a good sign for the no kings movement

And that then opens the question of how much damage needs to be fixed after Trump is gone. My own "America as non-functional actor in geopolitics take" hinges on the assumption that the huge effort to contain MAGA and repair its damage will paralyse US power projection for several years

The key to that image isn't the manure or the crown it is the fighter jet bombing American cities

Can’t wait to hear a Fox News analyst explain that the president posting an AI slop video showing himself dropping shit on protestors from a fighter jet while wearing a crown is an example of him reaching across the aisle to Middle America.
