Watching UK news coverage over the last 24 hours, one would think Farage's Reform party had taken over the Conservatives as the 2nd largest party in local government.
In reality, Reform are 5th, coming some distance behind the Greens.
Lib Dems gained over 160 Councillor seats… 370 total! 💛💛💛

Hardest hit markets are the US and Japan (-18%) and the least hit is China (-4%). That’s partly because China is not nearly as reliant upon the US as the US is reliant upon China.

Next we’ll see inflation rise, global demand / GDP decline, profit margins squeezed, and jobs eliminated… ultimately stagflation.

Elon Musk blames the backlash against DOGE and the radical left for Tesla’s fall… but his problems are much bigger and global. Keep in mind 65% of Teslas are sold OUTSISE of the US, particularly to the Chinese, Europeans, Canadians, and Australians.

Since Jan 1 2025, there appears to be a shift in investor confidence from US stocks to European stocks. The markets hate uncertainty. Between on-again-off-again tariffs and the haphazard management of government by Elon Musk, Trump has sapped confidence in the US economy.

Where do you sit on the socio-economic political spectrum? Below is a 9 Box: Y-Axis ranging from Individualism to Collectivism and X-Axis ranging from Left to Right. I’ve put Trump’s base into 5 of the 9 boxes… see comments for the breakdown of the 5 flavours of Trumpies.
