So the UK's 10-year gilt yield - the cost of government borrowing - is now up at 2008 levels. An 18-year high The difference is that, back then, UK national debt was 48pc of GDP, and now it's the best part of 100pc. So the debt service costs are much MUCH heavier.

Poor Megyn Kelly. An emotionally unhinged, lewd, and petulant wreck. She’s completely revealed and destroyed herself. She’s everything people say she is, but much worse. Never an intelligent, thoughtful, or substantive comment. Utterly toxic.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump is RIPPING IN to the UK and Keir Starmer "This is NOT the age of Churchill! The UK is VERY uncooperative. That STUPID ISLAND they have. That they GAVE AWAY, and took a hundred year lease, having to do with 'indigenous people' that never even SAW the island before!" "They RUIN relationships. That country, UK, I love that country, my mother was born there...the UK, with energy and immigration, is HORRIBLE."
