It used to be accepted fact that nothing political or controversial would be mentioned within spitting distance of a podium. In the last few weeks that silent agreement has ended The rule on a red carpet or a parti-coloured podium is that none of the victors say anything about politics. None of the surrounding players – the losers, the judges, the spouses, the hangers-on – should say anything either, because it draws attention to the vast lacuna where normal opinions should be. Some people, such as the Olympic committee, have explicit strictures, while other bodies merely create the expectation that nothing will be said, and can I just remind everyone that many years passed when this was no big deal. Politics was 9-to-5 work, and sports and showbiz were weekend-casual work, and nobody expected the two to intersect. It’s 2026, however, and the outside world intrudes on everything. Prince William said at Sunday night’s Bafta ceremony that he hadn’t seen the winning film, Hamnet, explaining : “I need to be in quite a calm state and I am not at the moment. I will save it.” Look, you could get on your high horse and say: “Mate, you’re the president of Bafta, could you not have found a moment of peace in which to watch the film that was likely to win everything?” Or you could speculate on what, between the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the rising swell of voices wanting to know who knew what, when, could have caused William’s disquiet. Or you could say: “Actually, Hamnet would be the perfect film for your troubled mind, being immensely soporific and yet quite forgiving; you can sleep through a large chunk of it and still know exactly what’s about to happen”.

Zia Yusuf sets out proposals and calls migration an ‘invasion’, as refugee groups decry ‘grotesque’ measures UK politics live – latest updates Reform UK’s plan to create an ICE-style deportation agency has been condemned as “sadistic”, after the party’s home affairs spokesperson vowed to face down “progressive outrage”. Zia Yusuf, introduced as “the shadow home secretary” at a press conference in Dover, said mass deportations carried out by a planned UK Deportation Command would not trigger the same kind of violent showdowns seen in the US because “policing is done by consent” in the UK. He also described the number of migrants arriving in the country as an “invasion”. Continue reading...

jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Investment Thesis I maintain the Hold recommendation on Lennar ( LEN ) shares, as I do not see strong drivers for share price growth in the coming quarter. The Q4 financial results turned out to be weak, as I predicted in the October article , and the high cost of mortgages continues to put pressure on margins. In my opinion, the market price of the shares is close to fair value, and there is no potential for growth at the moment. At the same time, I see no reason to recommend a Sell rating, so I recommend that current investors simply hold shares and buy them back only with a strong correction of 10-20% from the current price ($121 at the time of writing the article). Margin Sacrificed for Volume Growth I analyzed the entire business model of the company in great detail in my first article about the company and analyzed the Q3 report in the second article, so I do not hesitate to recommend studying them before reading this material, especially for those readers who are not familiar with Lennar. Investor Presentation The last quarter of 2025 turned out to be frankly unsuccessful for the company. I warned investors about this back in late October. The company's total revenue was $9.37 billion , down 6% yoy. The consensus expected the company to earn about $9.13 billion, which is 2.6% lower than the actual result. It seems to be ahead of market forecasts , but still the result is weak in dynamics. In Q4’2024, the company sold houses at an average price of $430 thousand, and in Q4’2025, the average selling price decreased by 10% yoy, so the company was forced to sell houses for an average of $386 thousand. This is the main reason for the drop in revenue. And in fact, no one expected that the average price would rise in Q4—the management itself was focused on $380-390 thousand. Compared to Q3, the price increased by $3,000. But at the same time, the company handed over 4% more houses to buyers (23,034), which smoothed out t...
