The international picture is interesting.

Trump is no fan of NATO or the EU.

Ukraine and Georgia huge land masses rich in assets and mineral wealth have both stated their wish to join the EU.
What a mighty Empire the EU.would become.
Strategically Russia is totally defeated if this was to happen.

Trump wishes to annex Greenland and Canada, huge land masses rich in mineral wealth and of strategic importance.
He also wishes to takeover the Panama Canal.

It seems to me that economically WW3 has started.
Interesting times, where does the UK fit into this situation?

Chinese investing in zip factories outside China to take a cut of Japanese YKK's $7 billion market. May be a good idea to open one here for Rachel & Co to zip it!

Think China visit was a deliberate ploy ahead of Trump taking office...unpredictable and fun era coming up...

£600m is as you ay chicken feed.
Hardly worth the trip.
China will be wary of upsetting Trump.

Min ping
Thanks for the spelling correction.
Even spellcheck fails to keep up with my errors.

Embarrassing that my English is corrected by someone named Ming ping.

The end of the World is nigh.
Doom and gloom after just 6 months of Labour.

After 14 chaotic years of Tory bungling most on this thread have been blaming Labour from day 1 for today's mess.
They are useless, but most of the chaos in the bond and currency markets are as a result of the mighty American Bond markets.

I still do not understand why various governments over recent years have wanted immigration.
They know it is unpopular with the electorate so they pretend to try to stop it.
They are not that stupid, they know their policies are bound ton fail.

Politics is in a mess, interesting to see how this Labour cabinet will respond to the crisis in the bond markets.

Careful will run out of places to drink imminently. The salmon corduroy brigade will soon be hanging from the noose at the Prospect of Whitby, won't be long now.

Trump Musk Farage Robinson... hard to believe that a significant number of UK citizens will tolerate such people.

I suppose a significant number of the UK might be 250 - 500k, but the majority ie everyone outside of London who aren't part of the establishment (institutions, civil service & media) WILL support them because they are no longer willing to accept the narrative of those with a vested interest.
