'It's literally £100,000 to rent a coffee shop in the centre of town. That is absolutely insane.'

Caller Daniel who owns a coffee shop in Newcastle gets emotional talking to @Lewis_Goodall about the hardship small business owners like him are facing.

Can someone explain how oil prices are back at these low levels while the Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed for months, with only limited shipping getting through?

At this point, it’s hard not to think the market is rigged.

In 12 years, the Russian army has managed to hold 10% of Ukraine by pre-war population.

That’s its neighbouring country.

Anyone who thinks the Russians are going to invade the UK is a crank.

If you have studied Chaucer at university, or ever wrote an essay or sat an exam on Chaucer at university, there is a good chance you have read Boethius (Boece) ... there is a fair chance you have read Boethius if you studied Old English at university ...

#OnThisDay 1798 Fr. John Murphy, the leader of the Wexford rebels, was stripped, flogged, hanged, decapitated, his corpse burnt in a barrel of tar & his head impaled on a spike. This was meant to be a warning to all others who fought against the British Crown.

This is exactly why Iran is upping the ante on Hormuz shipping

Iran is not done winning yet and

Not deterred from using force to keep its grip on Hormuz

Iran survived — and that changed everything

Latest forecast of total rainfall and airmass temperatures for Europe over next 10 days. Rainfall mainly in Northwest of Ireland and on this model the really warm air largely avoids Ireland but still above 25c for a couple days next week.

[Vali Nasr @vali_nasr]

Per @wsj Iran is deliberately delaying further talks. That is half the picture. Trump is not a hapless victim of Iranian delaying tactics. His own mixed signals and meandering strategies have created confusion and distrust which only leads Tehran to proceed even more cautiously. Latest has been the contradictions between Rubio negotiated Israel Lebanon deal and Vance negotiated MOU.

Because you and thousands like you believed without question that house prices only go up.

That advice came from the people selling the flats and the mortgages.

Never take advice on whether or not to buy something from the people selling it.

[Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape]

Folks, what Vance is saying is incredibly concerning

Trump using MOU to “refill oil stocks” so if US restarts major combat operations, the world economy doesn’t immediately go over a cliff ..really?

1) Iran is listening!
2) Iran survived and not deterred now!
3) oil stocks still running down!

Escalation double downs losses

How to say house price crash without saying house price crash.

Kinsale broke Tyrone's power but year up to it hollowed out Irish strength. OTD 1601 Crown forts in Lecale, Armagh & plans to build on the Blackwater. Tyrone faced with M'joy in front and an Docwra's army in behind, but not enough troops to confront both #nineyearswar

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

US Vice President JD Vance admits his and Trump's Iran MOU is only a tactical operation to "refill the world's oil economy" and "refill some stocks," not for peace, to then start the war again after the now 46 days are up.

[Callum Lyon @CallumLyon]

Prices in the UK just don't feel real anymore.

£120 for a return train to London.

£600 for a weekend in England, when you could go abroad for less.

Rent jumping from £700 to £1300 for the same place.

A full tank of fuel now over £100.

Insurance rising every year even with no claims.

And £100 somehow gone on just a couple of bags of shopping.

How did we get here?
