Truly vile. At a public event, Mike Graham mocked Andy Burnham’s father for having Alzheimer’s, less than three weeks after Roy Burnham died and apparently on the day of his funeral. Just the lowest of the low.

Unlike Simon Clarke, I was alive during the 1970s. A combination of low inequality, low crime and aspects of culture made 1976 one of the happiest years on record in the UK. The IMF bailout had zero impact. Lesson for Simon, happiness is not just a function of wealth.

🚨🚨 #brexit polling points to people thinking the #UK should have a closer relationship with the #EU. Fine but the problem with this type of polling (to also get some political imperative) is that the questions are too vaguely formulated. First, what is the meaning of a "closer relationship"?

Financial stuff is understandably a turnoff for most people so let me just say this is alarm bell material. Keep an eye on the AI bubble and regional banks.

History shows financial calamities occur when rates rise rapidly like this: 'Something always breaks'
The 10-year Treasury note yield is spiking to levels not seen in years, and that may be a bad omen for financial markets.
