Good to see a trade deal with India finally concluded. But the economic boost is insignificant, and the National Insurance exemption on Indian workers is deeply suspect, potentially making it cheaper for Indian companies to employ Indian workers in UK https://t.co/8VdEOnYnfp

Amazon, which owns Audible, putting up its prices again, this time by nearly 13 pc. I wonder if the Bank of England is fully aware of this kind of price gouging on products not included in its inflation basket. https://t.co/7gIcWiOag5

Let's face it - almost any incumbent government party is likely to get hammered these days, as Reform will undoubtedly find out should it eventually command a majority.

The Tory performance is clearly dire, potentially catastrophic. But, remarkably, Labour’s even worse in its own way. Labour was defending seats it won in 2021, when it performed appallingly (Starmer almost resigned it was so bad). So defending from a very low base. And yet it

As Americans are about to find out, supply chains are already too globalised to be easily unscrambled. Some 40pc of Chinese imports are components used in US domestic manufacture. Cost of replacing them virtually prohibitive. My column https://t.co/rIScRMmejp

Lord Stern, architect of Britain's Net Zero targets, says in response to Blair's intervention that if Britain starts to wobble, then everyone else will wobble too. No. We make no difference at all. Virtually everyone else has already wobbled and they don't care what the UK does

Why Trump would like to sack Fed chair Powell, but can't. His attacks on Powell are straight out of the Richard Nixon playbook. My column https://t.co/yl3rQovuWP

Another possible justification for banning Nvidia from exporting to China is that Nvidia chips are widely used in China's cutting edge EVs. It might therefore buy the US and Europe a couple of years of catch up on EV technology.

I agree that this is at best a short-term strategy. The best argument for doing this is if you think we are close to AGI and that the winner of that race will become an unchallengeable superpower, in which case, it’s enough to slow China down by a few years.

Shooting yourself in the foot. My column on why banning Nvidia from exporting to China will merely galvanise China into producing rival chips. Necessity is the mother of invention. https://t.co/PfMSxPvIjz

A Chinese embassy spokesman said: “At a time when the US is...engaged in protectionist trade bullying, British politicians just keep slandering Chinese enterprises instead of criticising the United States. What on earth are they up to?” He's got a point https://t.co/yZo1zUmn50

Nice try, but you wouldn't bet on greater globalisation and free trade being the end result of today's tariff wars https://t.co/4j4JpG5h1b via @ft

British Steel workers in Scunthorpe may have plenty to thank Donald Trump for. He's given economic nationalism a whole new lease of life, but it'll come at quite a price. An exert from the Telegraph's Economic Intelligence newsletter https://t.co/fPxH53TbGK

Love this disparaging talk about "elites" - if Trump and Truss are not part of the elites, I don't know who is https://t.co/QyWPxvQjgG

Yes, this is true. The Government taxes the excess profits from renewables, but rather than using this to reduce energy bills, it just goes into the general pot of government revenue

@faisalislam @BBCSimonJack @EdConwaySky @BenChu_ @JeremyWarnerUK @asentance Why is there no move to break the link? Why do officials claim it’s impossible? Ofcourse the Gvt gets revenue ….?

Don't often agree with IDS, even when it comes to China, but I fear this is the truth - close British Steel so as to sell Chinese made steel to its customers. Oldest acquisition trick in the book.

LBC @LBC

‘Why would they want to take over an ailing company? To re-badge their steel with a British name.’ Are the Scunthorpe closures ‘deliberate industrial sabotage’ from China? Former Tory leader @MPIainDS reveals his suspicions. https://t.co/VuG8LkSNs0

"The best way of thinking about last week’s events is as a combination of the dash for cash that occurred at the onset of the pandemic, and the later liability-driven investment debacle that unseated the UK prime minister Liz Truss". My column https://t.co/GckZELxoEZ

Well done President Donald Trump. You've just given a textbook lesson on how to create a financial crisis. My column on the risks of the developing liquidity crisis in US Treasuries turning into a full scale solvency crisis https://t.co/GckZELxoEZ
