3.1 million ethnic Russians in the USA. Perhaps Putin will try to "liberate" them next? Start with reneging on the Alaska deal. (Over 80% of Fox River, Alaska population are said to be ethnic Russian.)

Cack-ism?

KK has gut issues. Needs to see a doctor as he is suffering from slow digestion. [Probably only makes sense if you listened to Radio 4 interview.]

The decision to scrap this band was a completely unforced error. Now the rate itself is being blamed on some historic Labour government. As if coalition and tory governments since have somehow been unable to change it (scrap, change bands, or adjust rate - up or down). And as if many of those...

An accessible FT article. Truss’s growth plan is nothing but a magic potion Hoping that reality will adapt to your desires is folly: Britain needs stable and credible policies, not zealotry https://www.ft.com/content/510948e9-3c33-42c5-929e-b97c953dc767

Despite the affair with Mark Field, she can't stop talking about sex: Liz Truss admits she should have ‘laid ground better’

She's already done so, as far as I can see. The fallout from the LK interview is pretty much a pyroclastic flow. Just about to leave MET and KK in some kind of preserved condition and, hopefully, buried for at least many centuries. Gove has, more or less, said he won't vote for the so-called...

It did. But not, so far as I am aware, in debates, etc. There were numerous comments in newspapers, online but often more subtle to comply with editorial policies.

Truss says Nord Stream gas pipeline damage ‘clearly sabotage’ UK population says mini-budget was 'clearly sabotage' of the economy.

Kwarteng is making himself number one popular man in the UK: NEW. The UK devolved governments are seeking an urgent meeting with Kwasi Kwarteng to discuss immediate action to REVERSE the damaging effects of the mini-budget, highlighting its profound impact, stating it’s “a huge gamble on public...

A thought struck me yesterday about Putin's habitual distancing himself from everyone else. If someone did want to plant a bomb, they could quite possibly be in the same room when it went off and get away largely unscathed. (Doesn't really help much as planting a device is likely to be close...

I'm not suggesting equivalence of how it got to that staus. Just that once under NATO protection - however achieved - it does rather make Russia the aggressor against NATO which might not be a wonderful idea. For anyone.

Perhaps the entire rest of Ukraine should declare itself part of, say, Germany, France, UK, USA? (Albeit on a temporary basis.) Thus making every single Russian bullet an attack on a full NATO member. (Obviously facetious. But if Putin can change the definitions of countries by fiat, so too...

Not just predictable but widely predicted. In fact, bloomin' obvious.

Why? Just why do they deserve fairness? The rest of us don't, it appears, from the policies they are pursuing.

If you don't count your beans, you have no idea how many beans you have. It is easy, and all too often appropriate, to criticise those who do that job. And the narrow focus (make every cost you can an externality, etc.). But we do need those numbers otherwise we cannot know if we have enough...

Stable finance? Stable door finance - locked after bolted horse. Liz Truss will hold emergency talks with the head of Britain’s independent fiscal watchdog after failing to dampen panic in the financial markets or shore up support from Tory MPs on her radical economic plan. In a highly...

I'd be very wary of working under Prince Andrew.

As almost always! I only mentioned them to ensure it wasn't dismissed as a Guardian-only article without any basis. :)

And Johnson's grand claims for British Volt appear to be headed for the scrap heap. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/sep/29/britishvolt-38bn-battery-factory-green-industry Not just the Guardian - the FT had a big article but I cannot access it.
