Breakingviews - COMMENTARY: The UK’s ‘moron premium’ predates the morons
Britain's higher borrowing costs ⁠aren't just ​about political dysfunction. It's ​the only major economy whose central bank ​is actively ​selling bonds, and 24% of ‌its ⁠debt is inflation-linked. The rising cost of the ​status ​quo ⁠calls for a faster shift ​towards short-term ​issuance.

As Britain swelters through another heatwave, few people will have heard that ministers have quietly dropped plans for solar carports. Cars cooler in summer. Shelter from the rain in winter. Clean electricity all year round. A missed opportunity?

Least of issues I know but this "veteran" campaign strategy really winds me up. Kenyon isn't a veteran and was never mobilised. He was in the British Army Reserve. People like my father meanwhile fought in actual wars - and though my dad also served as a councillor he'd never ever mention it.
