We cancelled our trip and saw it as one of the very few things we could do to actively support Americans, and stand with them (at a great distance! 😄). I lost over £1000 in flights, but we felt that it was the right thing to do. We won’t be back until the Orange overlord and his minions are gone.

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

The curse of Thatcherism was not just greed. It was short-termism disguised as freedom. Privatisation made millionaires from share prices and dividends, while leaving millions in cold, costly poverty. A quarter of every bill now feeds profit, not service.

Completely forgot that I wrote to the FT a couple of weeks back, and just found this purely by chance while googling for something else that I've think I've written but currently can't find.

Letter: It’s black hole baloney
From Jo Michell, Professor of Economics, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK

Published SEP 24 2025

I was disappointed to see the FT reporting warnings of “a new black hole in the public finances” (September 9). A black hole is an astronomical body so dense that its gravity prevents anything from escaping. It is not the difference between a relatively arbitrary target and an uncertain forecast. As the BBC has acknowledged, journalists have a responsibility to take particular care when reporting on the public finances. Misleading and emotive metaphors should not be used — at least without caveat or quotation marks — in a serious newspaper such as the FT.
