Trump’s a Russian asset, Farage’s party is a racist enterprise, Putin wanted Brexit & if you tried to make a list of all the UK politicians & pundits who’ve backed all three, you’d be here for hours.

Just rewatching footage of the Pink Floyd Pulse tour at Earls Court. It was one of the best live performances I've ever seen from a band. All without having to watch it through other people's mobile phones.

On past evidence, they will present Russias desired outcome and then bleat intransigence when Zelensky tells them to fuck off

Yes! We used it when our youngest desperately wanted a pooch and we said no effing way and it was a chance for him to walk a dog. It was fine.

Reporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.? Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.

On BBC Radio 4's Moral Maze tonight: “Slavery - Right or Wrong?” Some people say it’s morally wrong. On the other hand, it makes a tonne of money. On the panel: Edward Colston, King Leopold II, Tommy Robinson and Matt Goodwin. Join us as we discuss one of the great moral dilemmas of the day.

Andy, my point is that you've presented no evidence that this is the case.

With that argument, you could blame anything and everything on the bond markets! Something nice hasn't been done?! It's the bond markets!

PaulW @blubberybobo.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
And when have these been presented to the bond market?

PaulW @blubberybobo.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
Ok, give an example of a universally beneficial policy that would be impossible because of "bond market threat" (i still think describing it as a threat is a misleading representation of what actually happens)

PaulW @blubberybobo.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
Saying that government economic policy is constrained by how bond markets perceive inflationary risk (which you've acknowledged) is not the same as saying bond traders actuvely dictate govt policy!

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

Sorry, Andy, I still don't get it. Bonds are a mechanism for governments to borrow money. A bond market allows people to trade them. I don't see how governments are kow towing to the traders.

Like any responsible chancellor, in other words. Still don't see how that is facing them down! And what is "bond market ammunition"????

PaulW @blubberybobo.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
So in other words they would have to devise policy that didn't spook the bond market. How is that facing it down?

Truss and Kwarteng faced down the bond market... didn't go very well...😬

All I wanted was a technically competent vaguely left-leaning government who would undo the worst of what the Tories did, and change us back to a welcoming, no longer hate-ridden society.

The result is huge. Vast in its consequences. Orban was the inspiration to all those who came after him. He served as Putin's puppet, undermining Europe from within and Ukraine from without. He funded a vast network of fascists around the world. It's all vulnerable now, or falling apart entirely.

Thank God Starmer is in charge, really. If it had been any of his immediate predecessors, we'd currently be at war with Iran, playing lapdog to a deranged US administration, unable to say what we were doing or why.
