A Minsky Moment is the point when a long period of calm turns into sudden collapse. Too much debt, too much optimism — then panic, forced selling, and the bubble pops. Stability breeds instability. When the music stops, everything unravels at once.

Britain isn’t broken — it’s buried.
Under our feet lies everything we’ve forgotten how to value.

The UK DESPERATELY needs its own OS.
Not just a product.
Not just regulation.
A philosophical, cultural, technological operating system.

Great article that I've shared with my team!
Gen Alpha isn’t Gen Z turned up to 11.
They're more like Gen X 2.0 — cautious, low-trust, raised on limits.
So if food halls want to speak to the next generation, they’ll need to quiet down, not shout louder.

1. Researching this week’s column, I felt that I understood at last just why, on so many issues – benefits, Gaza, environmental and planning laws, anti-protest laws, bank deregulation, fiscal rules etc - Labour is out-Torying the Tories. Why it has become so cruel, so destructive and so spineless. 🧵

Question: what is Starmerism? Think about it first, then answer the question.

Question: what is Starmerism? Think about it first, then answer the question.
Starmer has to go. He’s out of touch with the grassroots, lacks an economic vision, and doesn’t reflect the growing public mood: people want someone who’ll stand up to the system — not manage it.

The June solstice occurs at 02:42 UTC (12:42 AEST) on Saturday. As polar night falls over Antarctica, stratospheric temperatures there become much colder than over the mid-latitudes, causing the south polar vortex to spin up.
