Trebles all round

'Capitalism seems to have descended from tragedy into farce. Trump climbs down yet again from adolescent posturing and cuts the China tariff by 115%. Qatar soothes and flatters him with a free 747 ‘flying palace’ for his presidential toy cupboard.

In a craven sop to Reform UK, Labour plans to ‘get tough’ on legal migration, despite its known advantages for the economy, and a looming demographic crisis. Who needs facts and statistics when scapegoats are easier? Starmer and co are pandering to populist dog whistles.

Elsewhere, autocrats offer peace with one hand and lob missiles with the other.

The deaths pile up while the profits roll in, and the rich celebrate with cocktails on their floating palaces.'
