Readers respond to the inquiry findings of gross incompetence by government agencies, which led to three little girls being killed by Axel Rudakubana While many public agencies, along with Axel Rudakubana and his parents, have rightly been highlighted as carrying the blame for the devastating attack on children in Southport, there are some elements of our national systems that repeatedly walk away untouched by criticism ( Editorial, 13 April ). Social services, the health service, police, Prevent and schools are all organised and funded by our government. The government decides how these agencies should function and what their responsibilities are. Continue reading...

Charles Harris recalls a dystopian political drama series and spots a worrying parallel with today’s society The restriction of justice by a leftwing government was intriguingly predicted as far back as 1977 by Wilfred Greatorex in his BBC Two political drama series 1990 ( Founder of Starmer’s legal chambers condemns Labour plans to cut jury trials, 13 April ). Starring Edward Woodward as a journalist for Britain’s last remaining independent newspaper, the story was set in a UK where justice was fixed in favour of the state, democracy had been deliberately withered and the borders tightened.

Sue Atkinson on how nesting sites of sand martins were blocked in Perthshire, similar to that of swifts at Chapel Milton viaduct in Derbyshire Your distressing article about the unnecessary blocking of swift nesting sites in Chapel Milton viaduct triggered deja vu here in Perthshire ( Anger as swifts’ nesting holes in Derbyshire rail viaduct ‘blocked up’, 10 April ). In early 2024, Network Rail repointed the Inver viaduct over the River Braan and blocked up the nesting sites of a colony of sand martins. Despite repeated assurances that mitigation would be put in place, and contrary to Network Rail’s own biodiversity strategy, no nesting sites have ever been restored. Continue reading...

Raj Parkash and Chris Manners on the lasting impact of the UK’s decision in 2016 to leave the EU Perhaps the saddest consequence of Brexit is that it has left the UK a profoundly unhappy country ( Ten years after Brexit, this is the UK: a divided nation frozen in time, 9 April ). For Brexit supporters, the dream of a proud, independent Britain able to direct its own destiny in the world is nowhere near fulfilled, as if it ever could be. And they continue to grasp at the nearest proximate cause – an “invasion” of immigrants undermining British identity and draining its resources. For those who wished to remain, Brexit has left them unmoored from the security of membership of a grouping that gave them an identity and clear position in the world. Unfortunately, that unhappiness is now exacerbated by the state of the world outside the UK. The US has upended the entire global institutional structure such that there is no certainty to be had as to how to operate in the world. And the EU seems incapable of forging a coherent identity that could forge a path through this morass. So we are left floundering without a place in the world, with the options for alignment and partnership unattractive and equally uncertain. One thing however is for sure – seeking refuge in the empty sloganeering of Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski is not the answer. Raj Parkash London Continue reading...

As the president’s men rave about paranormal events and Diet Coke, it seems the US’s only hope is extraterrestrial intervention People often criticise the Democrats for being overly cautious and never getting anything done. But this week they’ve surprised us all by unveiling concepts of a plan for getting Donald Trump out of the White House. On Tuesday House Democrats introduced legislation that would create a commission to assess whether Trump is unfit to serve and should be removed under the 25th amendment. I don’t need to tell you what precipitated this: Trump is growingly increasingly erratic, threatening genocide one minute and posting pictures of himself as Jesus Christ the next. Continue reading...

Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images NXP Semiconductors N.V. ( NXPI ) is due to report its Q1 ’26 earnings on the 28 th of April, so I thought I’d look into what to expect and what I am looking for to give us a better look at the company’s potential and whether it would be a good time to start a position. Since the last article on the company, its share price declined by around 9% against 2% gain for the SPY ( SPY ). I don’t see anything particularly exciting yet, so I maintain my Hold rating until we hear more about the next big growth driver. What to Expect Analysts are expecting the company to make around $2.98 and $3.52 in adjusted and GAAP EPS, respectively, which is the opposite of what we usually see with these numbers. Additionally, they expect the company to make $3.15B in revenues, which translates to around 11% growth y/y, but around 6% decline sequentially. It is worth noting that there have been 14 upward and 6 downward revisions to the EPS over the last 90 days. These numbers are in line with what the management guided for the upcoming quarter. Over the last ten quarters, the company only missed twice when it came to revenues and essentially met or beat EPS estimates 100% of the time. A miss by a penny is negligible. Seeking Alpha I think there is a good chance that we will see the company beating these estimates once again because it looks like the management either consistently low-balls its guidance or the analysts are underestimating NXPI’s earnings potential. Either way, it’s a positive for the company. Judging by the historical evidence, the beat is not going to be mind-blowing, so I don’t expect a massive share price swing on the day. So, what that means for my fellow options traders is that if you want to play any direction on the day, the implied move is around d 3.6%, which is quite weak . So, being a seller of options will most likely pay off if you sell far out of money strikes on an iron condor or a strangle, as IV crush will take ...

In this article GME .SPX Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Sign on facade at shoe company Allbirds, Walnut Creek, California, August 25, 2025. Smith Collection | Archive Photos | Getty Images Retail traders stampeded into Allbirds after the troubled shoemaker slapped an artificial intelligence label on its business, a set-up that market history suggests rarely ends well once the initial hype fades. Shares of the company skyrocketed as much as 582% on Wednesday after the firm detailed shocking plans to rebrand as NewBird AI and shift toward compute infrastructure. The surge added more than $100 million to its market value, which had been just $21 million a day earlier. Retail investors were quick to embrace the new narrative, data from Vanda Research showed. Net purchases hit a record $5.2 million in a single day, surpassing even demand seen during the company's 2021 IPO. Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon Allbirds year to date This surge of speculative buying reflects a broader return of animal spirits among small traders as the broader stock market rebounded violently from losses triggered by geopolitical risks. The S&P 500 has entirely erased its losses associated from the Iran war and hit a fresh all-time high Thursday. "The market is not pricing risk. It is pricing narrative. It is pricing the word 'AI' the same way it once priced the word 'blockchain' and before that the suffix '.com,'" Mark Malek, CIO at Siebert Financial, said in a note. "This is not analysis. This is pattern-matching on a buzzword by investors who have watched AI-adjacent stocks go parabolic and do not want to miss the next leg. The signal is not subtle." The rise of zero-commission trading platforms helped usher in a new generation of retail investors, lowering the cost of speculation and accelerating the spread of so-called meme trades. That dynamic was on full display during the 2021 GameStop episode, when coordinated buying by individual traders sent the stock soaring and in...

rarrarorro/iStock via Getty Images Israel and Lebanon have agreed on a 10-day ceasefire starting from 5 pm ET after the representatives of the two nations met in Washington on Tuesday. "I have directed Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Rubio, together with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Razin' Caine, to work with Israel and Lebanon to achieve a Lasting PEACE. It has been my Honor to solve 9 Wars across the World, and this will be my 10th, so let's, GET IT DONE!" U.S. President Donald Trump said. Trump said he spoke to Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israel's Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, and both the leaders agreed on the 10-day truce. Aoun has also reportedly thanked Trump for his push for a ceasefire. The ceasefire could pave the way for Washington to reach a peace deal with Iran, as the Middle Eastern country had said the Israeli attacks in Lebanon were a violation of its agreed pause of hostilities with the U.S. The U.S. and Israel, however, have denied that the Iran ceasefire is applicable to Israel's attack on Hezbollah.
