This is the incredible thing. Restore are literally running the Reform playbook page by page. And Reform are acting like they've never seen it before.

How is this argument any different from the argument that Conservatives made against Reform in 2024?

This chart comes the @WSJ article on “The Risk Premium for Holding Stocks Over Bonds Is Vanishing: Gap between market’s earnings yield and bond yields has narrowed, a measure that has at times predicted subpar stock returns.”
What investors should do about this is far from straightforward. It underscores the unusual challenges currently facing the construction of model portfolios due to complications to the core asset allocation inputs that underlie them—specifically, expected returns, volatility, and correlation.

Good morning.
Today’s Financial Times neatly captures the escalating economic fallout of the war.
Specifically, Phases I and II (a concentrated energy shock followed by a broader price shock) now risk being joined by Phase III (demand destruction). In turn, this threatens Phase IV, the higher risk of financial instability.
As I argue in my latest column in the same paper, this coincides with a decline in policy responsiveness across many countries.

It's a complete mystery why people with deeply unpleasant views like these are attracted to political parties led by @Nigel_Farage

No there will not be an early election. A man with 400 seats will not risk half of them three years early to satisfy columnists’ belief in mandate fairies.

So Reform have gone from demanding an early election to desperately trying to stop one because they think they’ll lose. And they admit Andy Burnham really is so popular nationally he’ll be able to reverse Reform’s surge and win for Labour.

I think unless all patriotic voters unite behind Reform in Makerfield then Andy Burnham will win, call an early snap general election and put Britain under a hard left government until 2031. If you don’t want this to happen then vote Reform. mattgoodwin.org/p/a-prediction…

Striking that Reform have now overtaken Labour as the party people would most like to vote against - very much matches what we heard in Gorton with many voters primary concern less merits of Lab/Green but who could best stop Reform.
