@soniasodha @_alice_evans Completely agree, this was a dreadful story and very biased.

Why doesn’t this BBC story examine why there’s a market for fathers selling their young daughters to other men in the first place? What a strange omission - it’s like the reality that these girls are being sold as child brides to be raped by adult men is invisible or something.

Nvidia down 1.4% so far today ahead of Wednesday’s all important earnings report. @XTBUK

The entire tech sector in the US is lower today, but small cap growth stocks are getting hit the hardest. Down 2.1%. @XTBUK

Treasuries in the us are leading Global bond yields higher. The 10 year tsy yield is up 6bps today. A global bond market rout is back on. Risk is stocks will be impacted as rising yields hurt earnings outlooks. A tricky day for investors. @XTBUK

Quick overview as we reach the final stretch for European markets: US stocks are lower, led lower by tech The S&P tech sector is down 1.1% so far Pound is lower along with euro Brent crude continues to fall UK bond yields are higher again, 10 yr gilt up 5bps

Yields are on the rise again in the US, this has the potential to derail stocks yet again, which are lower for a third session on Tuesday. Alternative view, is a yippy steadily market enough to get Trump to sign a deal with Iran? @XTBUK

Absolutely horrific story; the NEU is actively trying to ruin state education in this county, while the government is trying to ruin private education. Time for a major overhaul of teaching unions? thetimes.com/article/cfd84e…

People often ask why I'm a Conservative. It's because people who get up early, work hard and do the right thing deserve a fair crack of the whip. A hand up, not a handout. Because government needs to get out of the way and let people live their lives. 👇

@KATHLEENBROOKS Sadly I fear that will fall on deaf ears!

The IMF also said "domestic uncertainty could also add to the already volatile global environment, holding back consumption and investment decisions" But Rach has conveniently left that bit out… 🤦‍♂️

Clear steer from the IMF that there is now “limited tax space” in the UK that does not involve fundamental tax reform.

Britain nearing peak tax, warns IMF Take heed Labour hopefuls! telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

Here we go again… Up early with @sallybundock for @bbcnews @xtkuk

What are Andy Burnham’s political views? This is a good summary of what Burnham is like, if he becomes the next PM, his policies will be so radically different from labour’s 2024 manifesto that there will have to be a GE. thetimes.com/article/59c3c6…

Here we go again. Thanks Andy, it’s keeping me busy! @xtbuk

Another day of Labour Party turmoil, another spike in bond yields, and another TV slot! @xtbuk

The Economist reports that almost 9 in 10 members of the Labour Party say taxes and public spending should be increased, compared with 6 in 10 Labour voters. "Whoever the candidates are, Labour’s rules could put the final decision in the hands of an unrepresentative body of left-wing anoraks," notes the Economist. The public would—fairly—feel they deserve a say. The demand for a general election could become intense."

Pound slumps as Burnham enters the race to be PM, as Cerebras has stunning IPO | XTB @xtbuk xtb.com/en/market-anal…

Here we go… We’d streeting resigns Uk bond yields pop higher but are still lower on the day. @XTBUK

Barely any reaction to the better than expected GDP figures in the UK. Pound is trading at $1.3520, up a touch. All eyes on bond market and news from Westminster…. @XTBUK
