The leader of the Green party has faced antisemitic attacks, and yet his thoughts on the subject don’t count as far as the rightwing UK press is concerned The surge of the Green party has emphasised an iron rule of British politics: those on the left cannot be treated as legitimate political actors. A case in point came at the weekend, when the Green party leader, Zack Polanski, was interviewed by Sky News’ Trevor Phillips, who barely concealed his contempt. Two weeks ago, in an interview with Haaretz newspaper , Polanski was asked what the Green party’s response was to the recent wave of attacks against Jewish sites in the UK. His response : “I’m concerned about rising antisemitic attacks. We saw arson attacks on ambulances, for instance, and we know that, increasingly, Jewish communities are feeling unsafe. Now, there’s a conversation to be had about whether it’s a perception of unsafety [sic] or whether it’s actual unsafety [sic], but neither are acceptable.” Owen Jones is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

The author has become acutely aware of how the climate crisis is affecting women – and, in her new book, she argues that it’s time for mainstream western feminists to join the dots Natasha Walter is halfway through explaining how she came to be politically radicalised when a young woman approaches the cafe table. We two middle-aged women look like “the most trustworthy people here,” she says, so could we watch her baby while she grabs a coffee? Like the solid citizen she is, Walter doesn’t take her eyes off the pushchair parked by the cafe steps for the next five minutes, though all we can see of the occupant is a tiny swinging foot. Sorry, where were we? Ah yes, the groundbreaking feminist writer who famously argued in her 1998 book The New Feminism that Margaret Thatcher had broken down barriers for women was explaining why she no longer really believes it’s possible to be rightwing and a feminist, as Theresa May or Amber Rudd insist they are. “I can’t support just any woman getting into power, because I think a system that leaves too many women in the shadows – that condemns too many women to poverty or worse – is not a feminist system, and I don’t think you can call yourself a feminist if you’re going to prop up that system,” she says, eyes still glued to the baby for whom we are briefly responsible. “It’s not my kind of feminism.” Her younger self, she admits, would have thought her too uncompromising. But something in her seems to have hardened, facing a world she sees as threatened by the rise of far-right authoritarianism on one hand and a climate emergency on the other. “In the past I always wanted to be a broad church, I always thought any woman can be a feminist, but now I really am feeling … maybe I’ve been radicalised.” Continue reading...

With the Wood one win from reaching the Football League for the first time, a veteran correspondent recalls lessons learned from their amateur days The years teach much which the days never know. This weekend Boreham Wood FC go to Wembley fighting for a place in that treasured home of the global game, the English Football League. Why will I be watching 7,000 miles away? Well, the experience of riding the Wood’s team bus 50-odd years ago taught me much that I have carried across our world ever since. So, I’ll be somewhat possessed this Sunday, Boreham Wood versus Rochdale , even though I live in that footie mecca on the other side of the world, Argentina. The memories are rich. Back then I’m on a gap year before university, a football captain at school sees an advert in his local paper for a reporter, urges me to apply, and I do, convincing one of the best editors I ever worked for (by the name of Roger Norman) to take me, and I spend a golden period reporting for the Borehamwood and Elstree Post. Elstree, with its film studios, the poor man’s Hollywood. Borehamwood, a working-class hinterland of my north London, with not much to celebrate. Continue reading...

US commerce secretary to sit for transcribed interview as part of House oversight committee’s broader investigation The US commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, will appear before the House oversight and reform committee on Wednesday to answer questions over his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein . Lutnick agreed in March to sit for a transcribed interview with the committee following the justice department’s release of millions of documents related to Epstein, which included documents showing that Lutnick continued correspondence with Epstein after the disgraced financier had been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor. The session is part of the committee’s broader investigation into Epstein. Continue reading...

An aerial view of residential homes, many with solar panels, on Sept. 17, 2025 in Fontana, California. Mario Tama | Getty Images Mortgage rates continued to climb higher last week, causing both current homeowners and potential home buyers to retreat from the market, especially first-time buyers. Total mortgage application volume fell 4.4% compared with the week before, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's seasonally adjusted index. The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances, $832,750 or less, increased to 6.45% from 6.37%, with points increasing to 0.66 from 0.61, including the origination fee, for loans with a 20% down payment. "The ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to push rates higher. Mortgage rates last week increased to their highest level in a month," said Joel Kan, MBA's vice president and deputy chief economist in a release. Applications for a mortgage to purchase a home dropped 4% for the week and were just 5% higher than the same week one year ago. The spring housing market has been a bumpy one, starting out very slowly when rates rose sharply in March. It seemed to be picking up recently, as rates fell back and more supply came on the market, but buyers again are struggling with affordability. "The average loan size on a purchase application increased to $467,300, the highest in the survey's history dating back to 1990. This increase could indicate that potential first-time buyers, and buyers looking for homes at lower price points, might be the most hesitant to move forward given the economic uncertainty and higher rates," said Kan.

If you’ve bought beef lately, you’ve felt it: Prices are more expensive than ever.

If you’ve bought beef lately, you’ve felt it: Prices are more expensive than ever. The average cost for ground beef — typically the cheapest option in the meat case — is now averaging a record nearly $7 a pound. The basic reason is straightforward enough. The US cattle herd is the smallest it’s been in decades, squeezed by drought and high feed costs. Demand for beef, meanwhile, has held up. That hasn’t stopped the fingerpointing, though, with politicians making the protein a key issue ahead of midterm elections . Top Trump administration officials on Monday laid a large part of blame for high prices on meatpackers, with the Justice Department confirming it was investigating potential antitrust violations in the industry. At the same time, Tyson Foods Inc. — the country’s biggest processor — reported yet another quarterly loss in its beef business, showing the companies aren’t profiting from the lofty prices. The reality behind expensive beef is complicated. There’s no quick fix for tight supplies, as the sticker shock in the grocery aisles didn’t happen overnight. It’s not just that the animals take a long time to grow. The complicated economics of cattle ranching also create pain points at key stages of production. To understand why the US’s hamburgers and steaks cost so much now, Bloomberg News followed a hypothetical animal as it moved through the hands of three ranchers, a meatpacker, a grocer and finally to the consumer. Its profitability will shift with each handoff through the long supply chain . Those margins at every step help explain why the US cattle herd has shrunk to a 75-year low, with little sign of a meaningful rebound – and why, despite President Donald Trump’s urging that Americans “just hold on a little while,” high beef prices are likely to stick around for the rest of the year. Charted Territory Bigger gap | The US trade deficit widened in March as an increase in the value of imports exceeded exports in a sign of solid consumer and business dem...

Krot Studio/iStock via Getty Images AI Helps Power Economic Growth in Q1 2026 While Mag 7 AI spending has dominated headlines, artificial intelligence has proven to be a key driver of U.S. economic growth in 2026. GDP rose by 2% in the first quarter, bolstered by a massive surge in AI-driven business investment, which shows no signs of waning . Bloomberg In a recent piece on stocks that could benefit from the explosion in capex spending by hyperscalers, I noted the upside of the AI revolution is massive. Amazon ( AMZN ), Google ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ), Microsoft ( MSFT ), and Meta ( META ) alone are expected to spend more than $700B in capex in 2026, but this investment does not represent the full upside. According to President Donald Trump’s former AI czar, David Sacks, artificial intelligence is a cornerstone of the economy, and the return on investment is likely to dwarf capex spending. “Polls may show that AI is not popular, but economic growth is. At this point, stopping progress in AI would be equivalent to halting the U.S. economy,” Sacks said in a social media post . Driven by accelerating adoption, the global AI market for software, hardware, and services could reach well over $3 trillion by 2033. AI and robotics use cases are spreading across a wide range of industries, such as advertising, automotive, banking, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, telecom, and retail. Even with concerns over shifting interest rate expectations, inflation, and stretched valuations, AI stocks have continued to outperform the broader market and have delivered massive returns in the past three years. Seeking Alpha Although they offer strong long-term opportunities, AI stocks can be more volatile than the market, which is why it's important to ensure potential investments have strong fundamentals.

Earlier this year, after a tumultuous period serving as the former second-in-command at the FBI, Dan Bongino went back to what he is perhaps known best for: video podcasting. After Bongino exited the role in January, he began promotion for the return of his podcast, The Dan Bongino Show . He bought out a billboard in Times Square in New York; he dropped teaser videos for his first new episode in months. Bongino also deployed a more experimental promotional tactic, aimed at getting portions of his show in front of a wider audience. For this, he used clippers. Clippers are largely anonymous social media accounts whose sole purpose is to rack … Read the full story at The Verge.
