By Jacopo Prisco and Evan John, CNN(CNN) — Japan’s population is the oldest in the world, with a third aged over 65, and one in 10 aged over 80, due to a combination of low fertility rates and high life expectancy. This has a direct effect on its working-age population — the share of 15 to 64 year-olds — which is projected to shrink by 30 million people between 2020 and 2070.

Why is this pastor standing up for Tommy Robinson?

Nov 18, 2024 | premierchristianity.com | Evan John

The recent mixture of worship songs with anti-immigrant rhetoric at a pro-Tommy Robinson rally suggests a worrying alliance is developing between far-right politics and some faith leaders. Christians must be careful not to lend legitimacy to divisive and dangerous ideologies, says Evan L John Before singing ‘This Train is Bound for Glory’ at the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally, Pastor Rikki Doolan thanked God for the life of a man who, at that moment, was in a police cell.
Lord Ashcroft tattles on Labour to Trump

Nov 8, 2024 | thelondoneconomic.com | Evan John

Lord Ashcroft moved to further sour relations between the Labour Party and president-elect of the United States by sharing previous comments made about Donald Trump. Both Sir Keir Starmer and David Lammy went on the charm offensive this week after previously saying some pretty frank things about Trump in the past. Nigel Farage has offered to help straighten out relations, although it’s not likely to be an offer Labour will take up.
Why did Bitcoin jump when Trump won?

Nov 7, 2024 | thelondoneconomic.com | Evan John

While it’s easy to see why the election result sent the share prices for Elon Musk’s Tesla rocketing, you might be left wondering why it drove up the value of Bitcoin too. The truth is that many cryptobros are drawn to Trump, and now hope to influence his administration. With the news that the Republican candidate had won the election, cryptocurrency markets rejoiced. Bitcoin jumped to an all time high. Dogecoin – a cryptocurrency that Musk is particularly keen on – went up by over a quarter.
Nigel Farage in America again and everyone says the same thing

Given Nigel Farage’s high view of himself, it is no surprise that the MP and Trump-backer is positioning himself as an unofficial ambassador to the incoming US President. Luckily for us, however, a senior member of the British Government has made it clear they are having none of it.
Elon Musk '$20 billion' richer after Trump victory

Nov 7, 2024 | thelondoneconomic.com | Evan John

With Trump’s election win making him $20 billion overnight, you can’t deny that Elon Musk knows how to make good on an investment. After the results became clear, shares in Tesla jumped by 10 per cent – making the world’s richest man even richer. Forbes’ Real Time Billionaires List currently values the founder of the electric car company at an astonishing $285.6 billion. At $20 billion, the overnight jump in his wealth is over three times Trump’s entire net worth.
Pro-Trump actor Rob Schneider in furious clash... with Ed Balls

Nov 6, 2024 | thelondoneconomic.com | Evan John

Good Morning Britain may be known for its occasionally lively interviews, but even Susannah Reid and Ed Balls seemed taken aback by the approach pro-Trump comedian and actor Rob Schneider took during their interview with him this morning. With Citizen Khan star Adil Ray and the former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls amongst its hosts, perhaps we might have expected the ITV show to have an unusual lineup for its election coverage.
