I am old enough to remember people telling me that "traditional valuation measures don't count" when applied to Japanese stocks in the late 1980s
Every day I look at my screen and think "that's it, that's the quote that sums up this mad era." And then the next day there's another one.

If Rachel Reeves does put 2p on income tax, that will push up the marginal tax rate on those earning over £100,000 to 64% (assuming she does not reduce the 2% NI levy on higher earnings)

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess).

Trumpist rule consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: there must be a president and executive branch whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside its opponents and victims whom the law binds but does not protect.

She’s right. She *deliberately* hacked into Harriet Harman’s website, whereas Rachel Reeves is accused of obtaining a license late by accident. I assume that’s what she means, given Badenoch is widely known for her thoughtfulness and her self-awareness.
Badenoch says hacking into Harriet Harman's website 17 years ago 'not the same' as Reeves breaking law
