Markets were up week of Lehman. No one remembers that anymore, but it is a fact

The failure of the Europeans to stare him down and the tech companies down with their massive trade surplus led to threats of Greenlandic Nordic lives and now this calamity. von der Leyen, Merz etc all belong in Den Haag in jail. He would have caved immediately

With the upcoming financial crash, stagflation, stealth devaluation of the GBP - shouldn’t the UK prepare to print 10000 GBP notes ?

What hasn’t he launched ? Reminds me of a US failure

How can NO ONE comment on the fact that he opts for GERMAN gin from the Schwarzwald ? Are there no good English gins ? The whole thing is so pathetic

That disgusting lady supported the murder of 100k children - I assume it is a German “thing” - she needs to be in Den Haag until she dies. Disgusting

"High up" ? The job us like being a salesperson for crap

And up 41% over one year. 90% downside is not unreasonable

Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark all need nuclear weapons, surrounded by pure idiotic countries.

"Crushed" ? Not even close to that

Imagine having the last name of a genius and studying something that could have been summarised by “we, UK slaves, do exactly what our rulers (the US) tells us to do and will kill every child we are ordered to”. Pathetic

All needs to be sold.

Comparing support of murder of children to some irrelevant legislation is all what is wrong about the UK

Starmer’s sole goal was and is the support of children murder and genocide- he can’t believe his luck here with more and more of it

There is no "special relationship" - you are all slaves in the UK. Pathetic how this line is being pushed constantly.

It is a very English speaking thing not believing actions have consequences. After their Nordic brothers were threatened with murder in Greenland, 83% of Swedes boycott US products where possible (FT). UK/US talk “trade” when so much more is at risk

WHAT ? You clearly haven’t read any news / OFFICIAL STATEMENTS, must be the only explanation

Why would retaliating justify an intervention ? That is surely a joke ?

As I said, he has one single goal - supporting and aiding children murder and genocide (of certain kinds of people) - he would happily resign now if he didn't see the opportunity for even more children murder in an upcoming ME war. It is digusting

Absolutely ! But tell that to a PM that only cares about supporting children murder, not only there I assume, he would happily support it in the upcoming war too. There are no other policies.

Starmer's only seeming governing philosophy has been aiding and supporting children murder and genocide. And he has succeeded. He has destroyed his party forever, of course, and would resign, but with a looming war, he may be needed to support even more children murder. So he can have double victory

Starmer's sole goal was to aid and support children murder when he was elected. He succeeded there. Now, normally, he "could" leave, but with another ME war on the horizon, he is needed to support even more children murder there, so will have to stay until his second goal is achieved.

Starmer has achieved his only goal so far - aiding and abetting children murder and genocide - and would resign now if there wasn't a looming war on the horizon where his further aid and support for children murder is needed. Labour belong in the dustbin of history. Won and then did only that

Exactly. Pathetic price to pay - basically 800% too high.

Won't be long and NFLX can buy the whole new entity for much less than they bid for WBD - completely wrong valuation from the start and only idiots would pay it

Truly great article.

Any self respecting democracy let's people's votes have a meaning, creating a coalition thereby finding consensus.

And those more globally inclined, know that FPTP is not real democracy, and that such a small by-election with flawed parties and lies, is actually irrelevant

”I self harm because my alcoholic parents beat me up.” Great idea then - ”let’s tell the parents when self harming occurs, so they can administer even harsher beatings”. The tech companies are run by imbeciles that got lucky to get monopolies at the right time while everyone was sleeping

The real issue is of course that AS ALWAYS with German investors - this happens at the top of human kind's largest ever asset bubble. Couldn't make it up
