Two million pensioners live in poverty. We spend less on pensions than other rich countries. Yes, we desperately need a National Care Service. Don't make today's workers poorer in their old age to pay for it!

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.

The four horsemen of the apocalypse are coming for the global economy

Published 15 September 2026 2:34pm BST

Four powerful shocks are hitting the world economy at the same time. They are escalating and feeding on each other, driving a commodity spiral that can end only in an inflationary blow-off.

The effects are ripping through the global bond markets and confronting central banks with an impossible dilemma. Yields on 10-year US Treasuries have surpassed 5pc, smashing through the Maginot defences of Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary.

The Bloomberg commodity index has risen 48pc this year, accelerating in pace and spreading in breadth from energy to industrial metals and grains. The fever has spread to shipping and
