South Korea’s Coast Guard boarded and detained Chinese fishing vessel in its territorial waters. These were not ordinary fishermen but part of China’s maritime militia.

Even though China is a nuclear superpower. No escalation followed.

Clear example for Europe: enforce territorial rights.

Trump's prosecutions of Comey and Letitia James fell apart precisely because he ousted career prosecutors who insisted on following facts and law. His installation of a pliant stooge is what blew up in his face.

The vicious cycle of monopolization:

1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.

I still can't believe that the man who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy; who explained to camera how hard his cognitive screening test for Alzheimers was; who encouraged the assassination of his own vice president is still legally at liberty, let alone being president of the United States.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The first analysis I’d make on welfare spending is examine who is working yet still needing to claim welfare? And why the hell that is the case.

Tax payers should not have to subsidise Billionaires Pound businesses payroll.

This is the first time in history that the Jobs Report and the GDP Report have been canceled at the same time.

If they were good, Trump wouldn’t hide them.

It’s obvious that we don’t have a booming economy.

Many think that Trump’s economy is a bust.

It's not a coincidence that the four most damaging politicians of the last two decades (Cameron, Osborne, Johnson and Farage) are all the products of English public schools.

The energy transition happens often in unlikely places at unprecedented rates.

Take Nepal: Over the past year, electric vehicles accounted for 76 percent of all passenger vehicles and half of the light commercial vehicles sold in Nepal.

Five years ago, that number was essentially zero.
