War is over, Trump says. But there’s a lot of disagreement in this agreement…

“Netanyahu’s government has only committed to the hostage-prisoner exchange. It has made no pledge to fully withdraw its troops from Gaza, nor does it talk of ending the war.”

Really important piece by Katie Martin who has fled this site. Investors are edging away from the dollar. If the EU could get its act together, now is the time to issue joint debt. There would be huge demand from investors desperate to diversify https://t.co/ahHxejjTFH

If ppl aren't saving enough for retirement they're almost certainly not putting enough aside for later-life care. Maybe because many believe social care is free like the NHS - it isn't, and it could cost you a fortune https://t.co/DdgjI4aXan @FT @ftmoney

Pre-pandemic, #probate applications took just a few weeks to process. By the beginning of this year, wait times hit 14 weeks, lumbering many families with unexpected costs. Here’s how you can mitigate them @FT

Under-appreciated stat from last week’s election:

Labour won its lowest ever share of the vote in deprived areas (<50% for the first time), and its highest ever share in affluent areas.

The result is a dramatic flattening of the class gradient in Labour support.

This is Elizabeth El-Nakla. She is my mother-in-law. A retired nurse from Dundee, Scotland. She, like the vast majority of people in Gaza, has nothing to do with Hamas. She has been told to leave Gaza but, like the rest of the population, is trapped with nowhere to go.

1/4 Her story is every commuter’s worst nightmare.
This is what happened when a Londoner slipped onto the tracks at a tube station one year ago. Or rather, what didn’t happen. https://t.co/rNf6J7vubv via @ft

It was always going to be a hard winter. But it didn’t need to be this hard. Going into the energy crisis, the poorest fifth of households in Britain were more than 20 per cent poorer than their French and German equivalents. https://t.co/XUhn0CGWdE

The story @DelphineStrauss & I wrote is on the FT Edit. https://t.co/YDw75KWpi6
Every weekday it runs 8 stories. For the first month, it's free and then 99p a month for six months and £4.99 a month after that. It is a massive bargain and you should check it out
