It’s probably more linked to the money saved on ballroom curtains. Expectations are that those savings fund the crypto reserve

This is going under the radar, but is quite noteworthy. Pressure on Putin will rise quickly if this keeps happening - and oil markets have one more thing to worry about in the coming weeks

Oxford Street pedestrianisation plan gets final official approval City Hall hopes to stop traffic from using the street by September.

Delighted to announce that following the consultation, I'm giving the green light to make Oxford Street traffic-free.

Nicely written and very much on point! This chart sums up everything that the Citrini note gets wrong about the macro implications of AI.

Risk-reward for him makes sense, given that everyone expects Labour to lose. If they lose, it will be no surprise, but if they win, he keeps his job.

Very informative post by the Global Trade Alert on tariff rates after the pivot from IEEPA to Section 122. UK is the biggest loser and the EU has a legitimate case to claim that the US side is not sticking to the Turnberry deal. Brazil, China and India benefit.

Trump has to be the big guy in any situation who could not possibly need help from the place he threatened to invade a month ago.

Try googling "Greenland USA medical help" now and 90% of results are about his tweet rather than the actual story - flooding the zone.
