Striker reflects on the ultimate high with Leicester and the role of the self-titled ‘Inbetweeners’ in his success “I was just a little freak in the works.” Jamie Vardy is reflecting on his career with the usual levels of self-deprecation and pondering whether anyone could possibly board the same rollercoaster. “It’s not the common way of doing things, is it? I don’t think it will probably happen again, but it did happen for me and it was hard work. It really was tough, but all worth it.” Humour has always been a preferred Vardy tool for removing the sting from a serious point. He is speaking to mark a new documentary about his rise, which brought him from warehouse work making walking frames and crutches to scarcely credible levels of Premier League success.

The breakwater stretches out to sea from the sprawling Kaohsiung port in southern Taiwan. Normally, it’s crowded with massive tankers ferrying liquefied natural gas from Qatar to be stored in the bulbous white tanks that dot the shoreline. These are not normal times, though, and not a single shipment from Qatar has docked at the Yongan terminal since early March after the Strait of Hormuz was shuttered. The suspension has provided a realistic preview of a potential Chinese blockade, a move that would throttle an economy anchored by the world’s most advanced and power-hungry semiconductor industry. It is a stark reminder of the energy dependency and constant threat facing the democratically governed island, which Beijing views as its territory and has vowed to eventually claim — by force if necessary. Taiwan currently imports around 96% of its energy, with LNG accounting for roughly half its overall power generation. Unlike coal or oil, the gas is difficult to store, and Taiwan maintains just an 11-day reserve. That leaves little margin for error; according to war games by think tanks, a maritime blockade could exhaust Taiwan’s energy within weeks. “We are learning something from this war,” Chen Chung-hsien, Deputy Director General of the Energy Administration, said in an interview, adding that Taiwan is aiming for energy self-sufficiency by 2034. “We need our own energy.” For now, Taiwan is avoiding a crippling fuel shortfall with expensive supply from the spot market, paying more than double the price of long-term contracts. The government says it has secured enough LNG until July. Officials and industry leaders are scrambling to shore up energy security in the meantime. Yet the factors that made Taiwan an economic powerhouse — its highly successful technology industry and concentration of AI-driven chipmaking by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. — are also the ones making it vulnerable. At stake is not just domestic stability, but the world’s chip supply, a v...

Debt funds have doubled their share of the UK real estate lending market over the last five years as banks, constrained by post-crisis regulations, have lost ground in the direct lending market. These lenders increased their share of the real estate debt market to 31% last year, up from 15% in 2020, according to data published by the Bayes Business School Thursday. Together with insurance companies, these alternative lenders now hold 45% of all outstanding commercial real estate loans in the UK. UK real estate lending markets have undergone a radical transformation since the global financial crisis ushered in a wave of new regulation that constrained risky bank lending to real estate. Non-bank lenders emerged as a new source of lending in the aftermath of the crisis and have since gained market share that is second only to UK banks as a provider of real estate credit. Debts funds were the “clear winners” of a long process by which UK banks stepped back from direct real estate ending, Dr Nicole Lux, senior research fellow at Bayes Business School, said. Low transaction volumes last year collided with strong fundraising for real estate debt funds. This meant that more money was chasing fewer deals, helping to push down pricing on deals. That dynamic has shifted since the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East and the failure of UK bridging lender MFS, said Lux. “These developments have focused attention on the risk of asset-based lending where there are loose risk monitoring standards and a lack of regulatory control and audit,” she added. Still, debt funds have seen their default rate improve from the 20% reported at the half-year point to 5.8% by the end of 2025. The default rate in the wider market also improved to 3.8%, which is just above the long-term average of 3%.
