The Iranian regime was wobbling during the protests. Trump could have financially/practically helped opposition figures. It might actually have worked, but he never gave a damn about Iranians. The most effective & least dangerous path to regime change was blocked off by his lack of empathy.

In the last ten years some 30k Puffins have died due to heatwaves, storms and flooding - you might describe all of that as climate change - but that’s not the point, or is it.

Treasury has ‘limited grasp’ of concerns over shadow banking sector.

The UK is sleep walking to the next financial crash.

Shadow banking, which includes private equity, is unregulated. Retail banking being deregulated.

The Pension Schemes Bill urges schemes to invest in PE.

Madness.

The pro-EU Party of Action & Solidarity has crushed the pro-Russia Patriotic Electoral Bloc in the Moldovan election.

It won 51 seats - an outright majority.

Moldova is now on a trajectory towards EU membership.

A very bad night for Putin, who targeted Moldova with a wave of election propaganda.
