The City of London also has a dearth of northern/regional accents reflecting a real lack of diversity. All focus of DEI programmes is on ethnic diversity but not regional or socioeconomic diversity. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

India seems to be in Trump’s crosswires due to its $46bn trade surplus with the U.S., BRICS membership, its big Russian oil import tab plus the fact Modi scotched Trump’s hopes of a Nobel peace prize for bringing the recent India - Pakistan war to an end.

Happy Yorkshire day! Home of the greatest starter in history - the Yorkshire pudding! Plus Pontefract cakes!

John Oliver not mincing words: "Gaza is starving, is a sentence that's objectively true, but it's also slightly misleading because it's too passive. Gaza is being starved by Israel."

Some of the best known journalists around the world have collaborated in an unprecedented push for independent access to Gaza. ‘If this press blackout continues, it sets a dangerous precedent’ freedomtoreport.org

Huge if true: big win for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkiye and Trump if delivered. Huge defeat for Russia.

Turkiye - positive surprise on the inflation front with the CPI coming in at 2.1% vs the 2.5% consensus and taking the headline YOY print down to 33.5% in July vs 35% in June. Disinflation seems to be happening and at faster pace than expected.

Simsek and the team at the CBRT are making progress with disinflation. Can the end year rate get to 28% as the CBRT hopes?

Let hope that no one tells Trump that India won the cricket today.

Don’t think that Indian markets are taking Trump threats of higher tariffs because of Russian oil purchases seriously.

Melania must be working wonders on Trump to turn him into a hawk on Russia. She obviously has some hidden talents.

The reality is India did profiteer from the G7 Russia oil price cap buying tens of billions of dollars of cut price Russian energy. ft.com/content/aef000…

So Trump fires the BLS head coz the U.S. data is actually really good. But Trump wants to fire Powell because the data is actually really bad. Welcome to a banana republic without bananas as the U.S. needs to import bananas.

How about India gives the tens of billions of dollars of war profits it made from buying cheap Russian oil to help rebuild Ukraine, to avoid US tariffs. ft.com/content/aef000…

WHO LEVELED GAZA?? What is called when you deliberately inflict conditions of life to destroy a people?

Aerial footage filmed by ITV News shows the scale of Gaza's destruction It’s estimated Gaza had as much, likely more, explosives dropped on it as Dresden, Hamburg and London in WW2 itv.com/news/2025-08-0…

Worryingly in the City I see self censorship now with Western financial institutions eager not to be seen to be criticising Trump policies. That’s unhealthy.
