Straight of Hormuz, with Buddha imposed, text: The realization that the lack of oil isn't causing your suffering, but the desire for oil itself, on your path to enlightenment.
Possible solution to the Strait of Hormuz?
To be fair the policy of not chasing the polls has been a complete success

In light of our surprise Official Chart Hit (for which we allowed 24 hrs of smug gloating and will never mention again), it feels like a good moment to explain how @xeaglepissx.bsky.social and I's daft record label Wrong Speed Records works and why...

Such a dismal tale about the UK govt: so obsessed w competing with far-right to keep out foreigners that it wonโt let in the brightest & best from war-torn countries even when theyโre hand-picked by the FCDO, lest they ask to stay. Soft power sacrificed, but how many Reform voters will it convert?
New detail from the new paperback edition of GET IN on page one of this morning's Times โ Keir Starmer did not speak to Peter Mandelson *at all* before appointing him as US ambassador More from me and @Gabriel_Pogrund in The Times and Sunday Times this weekend DAILY NEWSPAPER OF THE YEAR THE TIMES
We are circling the bowl of โMcSweeney gave Mandelson the ambassador job as his payoff for services rendered, because this was always Mandelson and McSweeneyโs vehicle and Sir Keir was always a bonnet ornament on the frontโ. Is anyone going to pull the flush at last, or shall we just circle forever
I'm not a 'one chart to explain everything about British politics' guy, but if I were this would be the chart. You will notice the Chancellor's pre-election strategy, 'I would simply Do A Growth', has not had an effect.

Robert Peston ยฎ @Pestonโข 5h X Why the UK is especially vulnerable to the economic impact of Trump's Iran war - with those on low incomes and the public finances particularly exposed. Steph and I discuss with Mohamed El-Erian in new Rest is Money podcast
Well, our problems tend to boil down to: We sold off most of our state capacity to private companies that donโt give a fuck about anything except driving down costs and jacking up prices to the maximum they can get away with, so that means we have no wriggle room at all. It is Pay, Or Fuck You.

Adam Langleben @adamlangleben X.com After every election in which the left have been in control they develop a stab in the back theory in order to justify their own failure. In 1983 it was Kinnock betraying Tony Benn. Sadly this time, the narrative the left have chosen is that Jews stopped victory. Thats this book. + Adam Langleben @adamlangleben โข 3h There is alot in this interview with @ZackPolanski. What is infuriating is his denialism of antisemitism in my party and leaning into crank conspiracy. Let's have a little look back in time:... 12:32 โข 10/03/2026 โข 1.4K
I donโt think you can keep doing this after the culprits - Labour right MPs and party PRs, mainly - spent a year bragging loudly at respected journalists about all the awesome wrecking they did, and how cunning and effective it was. And those journos then wrote prominent books about what they said.
Use code "THANKYOU" when checking out everywhere as it's a safe bet it'll work somewhere.
And by somewhere I mean in real shops to the checkout staff. And by "use" I mean saying it out loud to get the exclusive rewards of good vibes all round
โIf Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again - Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them โ But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMPโ
Trump threatens to destroy a country of 90+ million people and describes it as โa gift from the United States of America to Chinaโ

I almost missed that in a video where the former Chancellor of the Exchequer talks about "Institutional Credibility", the video misspells the word "credibility", which kind of sums this whole thing up
Something a bit different from me this Thursday 7/8pm(UK) on CCR.
