Remember all these headlines describing a brief rise in government borrowing costs as being "market mayhem", followed by a week of demands for Rachel Reeves to quit?
Well one week later and it turns out UK gilts are now outperforming every other G7 country this year, aside from the US

And there’s a huge irony in Guardiola facing by far his greatest challenges as a coach, in a year when his football and principles have never been more dominant or widespread

If football went to court in 2023, it went beyond that in 2024. It was a year that put in place the grounds for big changes in future

There are more than 10m children in school in the UK…but, per Times, 3,000 might move to state sector because of VAT rise…so Whitehall is “braced” 😲😲😲
Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported.
You pay VAT on luxuries. Private schooling is that.

Sterling close to its highest value against the Euro since the Brexit referendum. Markets appear to be rewarding the prospect of long term British political stability. Not something you’ve been able to say for a while.

19 years today since we lost Georgie Best.
Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵
Trump’s vote share is now at 49.9% with some votes still being counted. Looks like his margin over Harris will be around 1.5%- the third smallest winning margin since 1888.

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”
