By popular demand, here's a chart of the IMF's forecasts for GDP growth *per capita* in 2025 and 2026, which is a better measure of changes in living standards than the headline numbers... 🤔 (I've simply ranked them by cumulative growth over the two years) (ps. it's still a

Hamas, LOVELY human beings to be associated with. Unfortunately, this will not end well for the people of Palestine
BREAKING đź”´ Hamas says it will release another 4 hostage bodies at 10pm local time. The jihadi psychopaths are dragging out the return of the dead in a final effort to terrorize Israeli families.

The Dughmush clan in Gaza told local media that Hamas forces had come to the former Jordanian Hospital, where clan family members had taken refuge. The source claimed that Hamas sought to evict them from the building to establish a new base for its forces there. That’s Hamas

It looks as though we've got lower petrol prices to look forward to.
CHART OF THE DAY: @IEA sees a huge oversupply in 2026, with two quarters when production exceeds demand by >4m b/d. Even if the agency is off, directionally it’s clear that the global oil market is heading toward a surplus that requires lower prices and contango | #OOTT

Can we just be clear. When members of the Pro-Palestinan lobby argue for "Palestinian self-determination" we know precisely what they mean. They mean a Palestinian state stretching from the river to the sea. And we know that because they tell us every week.

Iain is right
Speaking in the Security update - Officials Secrets Act Case: The 2002 and 2003 integrated reviews were very clear. All the officials and the security services called and said that China was a significant threat. That was sufficient to give to the CPS, not even by ministers but

More from the “Put the Zios in the ground” creep at Saturday’s London hate march — here with the leader of last week’s vile 7 October protest, Islamic fundamentalist Uthman Mahdi Ahmad of King’s College London. 🧵1/
“A chant that we’ve been workshopping in Oxford”: “Gaza, Gaza, make us proud, Put the Zios in the ground.” Bridget Phillipson has a great candidate here from yesterday’s London hate march to lead her campus antisemitism training. Britain’s elite education.

As a Palestinian who openly opposes Hamas and rejects the glorified myths our society keeps repeating, I can’t stay silent about the sheer hypocrisy I see from many Western liberals. How can you defend a movement that executes its own people, by shooting them in the street,

Yet another downbeat UK business survey, this time Deloitte's latest poll of CFOs👇 ps. a net 32% expect capex to fall over the next 12m, with a net 64% expecting less hiring, driven by cost concerns. And it all started to go wrong again in 2024 Q3... 🤔 https://t.co/xJbIMALgrh

If you are a normal citizen in Gaza, you don’t have any rights. Hamas will treat you like a pig. You are enslaved. You are obligated to follow their ruling. Their orders must be fulfilled. If you don’t follow, Hamas kills you in cold blood.

Spain’s grid operator has quietly taken further measures to stabilise voltages. On Oct. 1, it asked solar and wind farms to increase and decrease their generation slowly (previously, they were allowed to go from zero to 100% in 2 minutes; now, they will have to wait 15 minutes).

This is getting utterly ridiculous now. The CPS has confirmed they requested additional information. Parkinson has literally said "Efforts to obtain that evidence were made over many months". Someone in Government took the decision not to provide that evidence. Who.
China latest — Keir Starmer is completely denying the allegation that the govt deliberately collapsed the spying case to save relations with Beijing. His spokesman says that is “entirely false”. — No10 also say it is “simply untrue” that NSA Jonathan Powell in a private

About the 1,700 Palestinians from Gaza being released: most of these people are civilians who were scooped up by the Israeli military in the first year of the war, many of whom truly don’t have any connection to terrorism, Hamas, or October 7. It was understood that many of them

You know the one group of people conspicuously not celebrating the release of the hostages and the end of this awful war. The people who have spent the past two years pretending their marches were about an end to the war. They have been utterly exposed for what they really are.

I have to be honest. We don't just need peace between Israel and Palestine. We need peace between Palestinians. As soon as there is a ceasefire with Israel, we start fighting each other. Fighting each other isn't going to make life better for anyone.

Yup, we'll see if the war's over this time next year. I really hope it will be, for everyone's sake.
Getting a ceasefire in Gaza was a breathtaking display of Donald Trump’s unorthodox way of conducting diplomacy. Yet in the coming days his approach faces an even bigger test
