Terrible typo on the subheading of your book, Liz.
It somehow says “how the Bank of England broke the bond market and brought down the government” when it should say “how *I* broke the bond market and brought down the government”.
Heads should roll at your publisher!

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia.
I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

There is a lot of Russian propaganda in Europe. They have invested as much money in it as in weapons during this war. This is a massive financial program spanning decades. Russia has been waging a hybrid war against Europe, including Italy, France, Britain, and Germany, for a long time. It just isn't waging a full-scale war against them as it is against us. Because we had the same thing – a hybrid war. Russian narratives across absolutely all television and media platforms, on the internet, and on social media.
People should not be pierced through and brainwashed by waves of narratives from the Russian Federation. Because it is up to France, Ukraine, Italy, and Spain to decide how to live and whom to elect. Russia cannot influence Italy's choices and freedom. Italy is a free country, just like Ukraine.
The Russians will seek to exploit far-right movements, religious movements, faith, migration, and gender. Russia doesn't care what issue can divide society: from religion to language, Russia will always find it and strike there. We are seeing this now not only in Europe – they also have influence in the United States of America. They have a very significant wave going on there, and their network is operating.
From an interview with Corriere della Sera. (3/3)
1940: “Germany, frankly, has been fine on Poland, France, Belgium and Holland. They haven’t been doing much.”
Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Same day a Russian drone killed six civilians, including children, in a Kharkiv region park. Overnight strikes cut power to 550,000 households. Ukrainian civilian casualties up 85% y/y in September.

The club said for the cup game in 2024 that it did not expect the imposed conditions of that fixture to set a precedent for future league games.
After just two games between the teams and little incident, this is a slap in the face to the supporters, and done without fan dialogue.
This is a huge step back.

“The bad news is that some of you will lose your jobs. The good news is that I’ve been promoted so…
…You’re still thinking about the bad news, aren’t you?”
🚨 𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗭𝗬 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧: Arsenal are planning to SACK 60 EMPLOYEES to save money, just days after giving Mikel Arteta a new contract worth £25 MILLION per year.
Mikel Arteta earns around £68,500 PER DAY.
For comparison, someone earning £30,000 a year would have to work for more than TWO YEARS to earn what Arteta makes in just ONE DAY.
Honestly didn’t think people made albums like this anymore.
I’m so glad they do.
This is magnificent.
Album of the Year by an absolute country mile.

Disgusting in every way.
Utterly shameful.
Football is eating itself.
Job cuts will help Arsenal "evolve and improve", claims Arteta
Manager whose new pay deal is worth £20m a year has been told 60 redundancies are necessary so club can "keep investing" | ✍️ @garyjacob

Ukraine's offer this week: we stop hitting your refineries if you stop bombing our power plants.
That's what de-escalation looks like.
Russia's answer: a glide bomb on two buses, a cruise missile into an apartment block.
And Washington rewarded the answer.
Very strong Graham Lister vibe to this latest outburst of lunacy
Donald Trump is insane.
This confirms it :
“This is the woman who received the Nobel Peace Prize over the Great United States of America, whose Representative, ME, settled eight Wars, and many other things. I know nothing about this woman, and neither does anyone else! In fact, to the best of my knowledge, no one ever heard of her other than the fact that she, very obviously, hates Israel. I don’t know what the woman has done. I settled 8 Wars, with letters being sent from every President and Prime Minister from the countries that I helped to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, and I’m about to settle, or win, two more, Iran and Russia/Ukraine. They’re both happening at breakneck speed but, forget them, it’s the 8 that I’ve already settled, any one of which, in particular, Pakistan and India, would be far more than necessary to win the Nobel Prize. In actuality, I should have won 8 Nobel Peace Prizes, not just 1. The 8 Wars are:
Cambodia and Thailand
Kosovo and Serbia
The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda
Pakistan and India
Israel and Iran
Egypt and Ethiopia
Armenia and Azerbaijan
Israel and Hamas
Additionally, I stopped Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon, and blowing up the entire Middle East and, ultimately, far beyond! I saved more lives than anyone in History and, as Maria Corina Machado, a truly fine person, stated to the Media when she gave me her Nobel Prize of last year, “Donald Trump settled many Wars, and deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than any person that has ever received it.” Based on my record of PEACE, a record like no one else has ever achieved, I agree! I got back all of the hostages in Israel, including the final 28, both living and dead, and worked with Hamas to do it — Nobody believed this was possible! I removed the World’s Evil Dictator, Nicolas Maduro, from Venezuela, and am in the process of making Venezuela a rich Democracy. Likewise, with Iran, I stopped them from destroying Israel, the Middle East, and Europe. I am also preventing, on a constant basis, a War between South Korea and North Korea, and Japan and North Korea. Add China and Taiwan, and numerous other hot spots, which have not been involved in Wars, only because of President Donald J. Trump, and the United States of America. I am responsible for having NATO countries increase spending from 2% to 5% of GDP, creating a stronger alliance and defense, another thing that everybody said was impossible to do. I have negotiated the release, and secured the return, of more than 900 political prisoners from multiple countries in Eastern Europe. Additionally, I have brought 196 hostages HOME from captivity, from all over the World, and did it without having paid a ransom, unlike Biden and Obama who would pay Billions of Dollars. On top of it all, I have created a soon to be very prosperous Arctic. Despite all of this, the Nobel Prize was given today to a liberal person who works at the United Nations, who nobody has ever heard of. In all of the Wars that I have settled, I never spoke to the United Nations—they were of no help. The United States of America, represented by me, as your President, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn’t. This is an indelible stain on Norway, one that will never be forgotten. The Nobel "Peace" Prize has been forever discredited by a handful of Radical Ideologues who are Anti-Democracy, and Enemies of Civilization! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

If this was a by election in Hackney, Zack Polanski would have won.
And that's the point:
Are the Greens down on their peak? Undoubtedly.
Are they still way ahead of where they've been historically? Unquestionably.

I used to work for @RobertJenrick; A chameleon who will say whatever serves him best in that moment.
But how comfortable is Jenrick about Reform’s current targeting of ethnicity, defining who does or doesn’t qualify to be English whilst senior figures in Reform smear Kemi, opening up a Pandora’s box of racist content.
This is a man who used to speak with pride about his half-Israeli, mixed-race Jewish family, now leaning into a debate on the side of those who would say his own children could never be English.
The same people who would remigrate them to Israel. Who would target Zia Yusuf and Suella Braverman, Laila Cunningham, Raheem Kassam, even Danny Kruger.
Reform’s dangerous descent into the gutter of dog-whistle racism, balkanisation and ethnonationalism is going to fail, but in doing so it is going to cause irreparable damage to Britain and make it a far darker and more dangerous place.
