Familiar pattern with Trumpian interventions which we'll probably see here - "deal" usually means the existing regime remains and continues murdering tens of thousands, in exchange for a brief US strike, maybe someone killed/captured, and millions wired into a Trump controlled Qatari bank account.

Hard to overstate how strong the consensus was 12 or so months ago that Trump II meant a stronger dollar.

Honestly, the GRU must consider these people as freebies.

Does a double curse negate the first one?

At least markets were quick to recognise the "oh fuck" moment then

Somehow, despite everything, the UK is looking relatively financially stable after the bond sales a couple of weeks ago.

(No need to panic, I don't believe in commentators curses)

Everything is stupid. That's it, my ill-educated financial markets take.

Markets react in SHOCK as President who spent years saying he wanted to devalue the dollar, says he isn't worried about it.

I'm going to be disappointed if you don't turn up everywhere with a massive quill now.

Nothing can fill that gut-wrenching hole in the heart, but good food and some distraction always helps a little

I doubt it. But frankly, Goodwin's views on race and citizenship are extremist and need to be called out as such.

27.01.2026 18:23 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Maybe other news organisations will finally refrain from describing Goodwin as an 'academic' and instead to 'Enoch Powell cosplayer'

Petitioning for Gorton and Denton put on this light show if Goodwin loses.

Broke: Britain is a two party political system

Woke: Britain is now a two bloc, multiparty system

Bespoke: Britain is a one party system and that party is Nimbyism.
