This article is for subscribers only. “As we say back in China, if the dishes are delicious, the timing doesn’t matter,” Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Li Chenggang told reporters in Geneva yesterday. The soundbite was a masterclass in evocative government messaging, which tided us over before details of the US-China deal were released. Why don’t we get metaphors that make you hungry from our own government?

This article is for subscribers only. We can forgive the prime minister some swagger. Exactly one week on from taking a drubbing in the local elections, he’s landed not one but two trade deals, with speculation of a further improved agreement with the EU. To be sure, there are imperfections in both the deals struck with India and the US — but while Nigel Farage attacked the former, he’s left the US one well alone, which Number 10 can celebrate as a win.

This article is for subscribers only. I recently visited the English country house set of my seven-year-old daughter’s favorite TV show – the glorious Hartland Abbey in Devon where they film Malory Towers. After she’d gone from room to room gasping as various critical scenes came back to her, all she wanted to know was: where were the dormitories? “Canada” replied Lady Angela Stucley, the abbey’s owner.

Before everyone gets carried away that the election overnight of a fifth Reform MP (remember there are 650 in total) presages the same populist wave that surged America, Germany and the rest, let me give you to the maxim of political journalists: “It’s only one by-election.” A by-election is not a national election but a moment to give the ruling party a bop on the nose. Voters know that by-elections are free hits, their chance to send a message.

This article is for subscribers only. It’s quite something that Trump’s 100 day anniversary has been marked by the electoral victory of his antithesis. The UK’s former central banker Mark Carney was in no way a shoo in to become the next Canadian prime minister before the Age of Trump; and his political party, the Liberals, was on a fast track to years in the wilderness. Accepting his victory this morning, Mark Carney was too classy to simply say “Thank you Donald”.
