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.

This is what imperialists always do. They claim to love their country. They feed its people into the machine.
The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan.bsky.social foreignpolicy.com/2026/06/25/r...

All it takes for Reform to fail is the shadow tanker fleet of the BBC, right wing press, and nervous media oligarchs, to turn away from their current course, and actually report some rather inconvenient truths about political corruption around crypto and money laundering

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.

The reason this is a war crime, incidentally, is that without it, combatants have a valid excuse to target and kill civilians – because they might be military in disguise.

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."
