FT exclusive:

The UK government is on the verge of fully nationalising British Steel, almost a year on from using emergency legislation to take control of the business

Compared to a month ago:
UK 2yr yield +98bp, FTSE All Share down 8.3%
German 2yr +67bp, DAX down 10.6%
US 2yr +54bp, S&P 500 down 5.7%.
Proper moves.
Hard to say markets aren’t taking this seriously but also hints at differing degrees of pain.

What a day for Ipswich to have a sale on their Black Shirts

Hearing Ipswich Town have renamed their stadium Deportman Road

Hate to say this, but UK gilts look grisly. Trump just cancelled most of what you want, sorry.

Four years into a war launched by a 70 year old man worried about legacy and clinging to power, an 76 year old man worried about legacy and clinging to power convinced a 79 year old man worried about legacy and clinging to power that they needed to bomb Iran to take out an 86 year old man wo...

I think there is a genuine problem here. Big US houses unlikely to publish research suggesting the policy of the President has materially messed up the global economy.

Trump: “A great war historian told me today, "Nobody would have thought you could do that much damage in that little time."”

Build a wall around it and have Mexico pay for it

Pretty staggering that the FT Trump interview opens with ‘if NATO doesn’t help us sort this mess, there’ll be problems’ and ends with ‘Russia might be helping target American soldiers, but really that’s sort of fair enough - we started it’.

6th March/14th March BBC lead stories.

It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.

a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.“

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

BBC *finally* report on the dozens of Iranian schoolgirls killed — about 32h later.

Its genuinely mad that we are, arguably, the most successful multicultural state on earth and instead of celebrating that we...

...keep trying to copy nations who have very evidently done worse at it than us

Starmer's ability to find the exact sweetspot which pisses off everyone is extraordinary. He's a savant.

interesting that new Green MP Hannah Spencer talks almost entirely about public services, cost of living, NHS, the grind of making ends meet....

and hardly ever mentions ecological/environmental issues....

this is the pivot that scares Labour the most

A large banner of Donald Trump was hung outside of the Justice Department headquarters in Washington, DC, emphasizing the White House’s control over the nation’s top law enforcement branch that once pursued criminal prosecutions against the president. https://cnn.it/4cBCqW7

An unusual moment of pride in Britain today, the sight of Prince Andrew being arrested showing that here the law still applies to the powerful. Though it is still stunning to me that not a single Epstein client has been charged with child sex offences.

‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Semenyo doesn’t make the list?

Trump's new pick for Fed Chair makes an appearance in today's Epstein Files release:

Whoa. This is from an FBI email with the subect "Re: Epstein - Cellmate Interview"

Here are the summaries provided by the FBI agent.
