I’d forgotten how reticent Brits can be. Try to connect with strangers and they just recoil I don’t know how accurate it is that the children of immigrants are themselves well suited to leaving home. But I do know my own experience – I first left home when I was 11 to go to boarding school, and I’ve barely looked back since.

I’d forgotten how reticent Brits can be. Try to connect with strangers and they just recoil I don’t know how accurate it is that the children of immigrants are themselves well suited to leaving home. But I do know my own experience – I first left home when I was 11 to go to boarding school, and I’ve barely looked back since. My most recent leaving happened at 33, when I moved from London to New York with a multi-year visa, clutching a receipt for the large brown boxes that would arrive some weeks after me. I have the good fortune to root well in new soil. You’ve heard of the idiomatic fish out of water? I have strong evidence to suggest that I am not that fish – I am the fish that thrives outside the water, perhaps even astride a bicycle. I moved to New York in 2016, with the intention of staying exactly 12 months: to report on an electric election year – and then return home with a chapter (“My Brooklyn Year”) of my eventual memoir tucked away in my mind. Instead, I stayed for almost a decade. Much has changed: silvery streaks have appeared at the crown of my head. My palate has widened dramatically to accommodate the vast cuisines of North America. Sometimes, when I stand up from my desk, I make an involuntary sound. And now, I am back. Coming home, just as my older bones are discovering, is an experiment in friction.

Trump’s venal persona and his war on Iran will do untold damage to America’s ability to make a positive difference in the world Early one Sunday morning in the summer of 2003, I drove into the center of a little South African beach town on the Indian Ocean to pick up the Cape papers. Local news agents still employed the English custom of putting front pages on A-frame stands on the sidewalk. It wa...
Trump’s venal persona and his war on Iran will do untold damage to America’s ability to make a positive difference in the world Early one Sunday morning in the summer of 2003, I drove into the center of a little South African beach town on the Indian Ocean to pick up the Cape papers. Local news agents still employed the English custom of putting front pages on A-frame stands on the sidewalk. It was during the first months of the Iraq war, and from two blocks away, I could see the headline, in big block type: “WHY BUSH IS WORSE THAN BIN LADEN.” It was disheartening to see – especially so far from home – but it did correspond to something familiar: American favorability around the world tends to swing sharply with wars (especially ones America starts) and who the US president is. Within weeks of the American attack, the international support the US had after 9/11 was squandered. Continue reading...
Linking UK mainland with Isles of Scilly, this is last season before boat is replaced with a newer model There was a mix of anticipation and trepidation in Penzance among the passengers waiting on to board Scillonian III. Some were looking forward to an adventurous voyage on the ferry to the Isles of Scilly, which lie 30 miles off the Cornish coast; others were not quite so keen, knowing that when...
Linking UK mainland with Isles of Scilly, this is last season before boat is replaced with a newer model There was a mix of anticipation and trepidation in Penzance among the passengers waiting on to board Scillonian III. Some were looking forward to an adventurous voyage on the ferry to the Isles of Scilly, which lie 30 miles off the Cornish coast; others were not quite so keen, knowing that when there is an Atlantic swell, the Scillionian can toss and turn, a tendency that has earned it the unflattering name the “vomit comet”.

The former rugby star on being a tough youngster, how she became Fury on the hit TV show, and losing her dad Born in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, in 2001, Jodie Ounsley is an athlete, television personality and author. A former England rugby sevens player, she is the first deaf female rugby player for a senior England side. In 2024, she joined the BBC revival of the series Gladiators, in which she competes as Fury; the same year, she was one of the presenters for the 2024 Paralympics. Her second book, Strong Girls, co-written with Becky Grey, is out on 9 April. I was six and had just got back from karate practice when Mum said, “Right, let’s take a picture!” Most kids would have stood politely and smiled, but my first instinct was to do the deadliest pose.

The first thing you notice about the Slate Truck is its size. It's small, surprisingly so. In a country where trucks often come with their own zip code, Slate's pickup is refreshingly puny, measuring 174.6 inches long, 70.6 inches wide, and 69.3 inches tall, with a curb weight of approximately 3,602 pounds (1,634kg).

Elisank79/iStock via Getty Images Real Estate Weekly Outlook U.S. equity markets snapped a five-week losing streak this week, while interest rates retreated from multi-month highs, as resilient economic data helped push back against stagflation concerns amid a continuation of the conflict with Iran. Despite another surge in oil prices to the cusp of multi-decade highs, markets found footing as a steady stream of employment data suggested that the U.S. economy remains more resilient than recent volatility had implied. While shy of the immediate ceasefire investors had hoped for, markets welcomed the prime-time address from the White House, which provided some clarity and a timeline for key objectives. Meanwhile, vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz improved during the week, though flows remain well below normal levels. Still, risks remained evident after reports that Iranian forces shot down a U.S. fighter jet and damaged another during rescue operations, underscoring the ever-present potential for escalation. Hoya Capital Snapping its longest losing streak since 2022, the S&P 500 rebounded 3.4% this week, climbing back to within 5% of its January record-high. After entering "correction territory" last week, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 led the advance this week with gains of 4.0%. The Mid-Cap 400 and Small-Cap 600 each advanced 3.1%, extending their recent relative resilience amid continued volatility tied to geopolitical developments. Communication services and technology stocks led the rally as investors rotated back into growth-oriented sectors after a first quarter defined by a pronounced growth-to-value rotation that had favored energy, financials, and other cyclical segments. Energy stocks were among the laggards despite the surge in crude prices. Buoyed by the sharp pullback in long-term interest rates from a multi-month high, real estate equities were among the leaders this week, aided by another wave of REIT M&A news. The Equity REIT Index rallied 3.7% ...
The writing was on the wall for Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) to raise prices once again in 2026, in the form of the fourth-quarter letter to shareholders.

The writing was on the wall for Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) to raise prices once again in 2026, in the form of the fourth-quarter letter to shareholders. Management said its revenue growth will be driven "by increases in membership and pricing" this year. Sure enough, the company recently announced price increases for its U.S. customers of $1 to $2 per month, depending on the subscription tier. Investors may be wondering just how much pricing power Netflix has left and whether it can continue growing sales by double digits over the long run. At its current stock price, that's a necessity for making it a worthwhile investment today. Image source: Netflix. Continue reading
Nu Stadium’s first game of any kind saw the South Florida club accomplish a long-held goal barely under the deadline Lionel Messi may have scored, captained the side and had a quarter of the new building named in his honor, but this was unmistakably Inter Miami co-owner Sir David Beckham’s night.

Nu Stadium’s first game of any kind saw the South Florida club accomplish a long-held goal barely under the deadline Lionel Messi may have scored, captained the side and had a quarter of the new building named in his honor, but this was unmistakably Inter Miami co-owner Sir David Beckham’s night. The inaugural game at Nu Stadium in Miami – an entertaining 2-2 draw with Austin FC – was the culmination of the former England captain’s arduous, thirteen-year odyssey to first establish an MLS team in Miami, then fill it with superstars, win major honors and, critically, build a world class arena for the team to play in.

Former world champions may finally meet in the ring Eddie Hearn says Joshua is ready for fight after car crash Deontay Wilder called out Anthony Joshua for a long-awaited matchup between the former heavyweight champions, after Wilder edged Derek Chisora to clinch a split-decision victory in London on Saturday. Wilder came face to face with Joshua as he walked past the Briton after the fight. The two fist-bumped, and the American said: “Let’s do it. It wasn’t a few words, I dapped it up with him and I said, now let’s get it on. I’m ready for whoever, [as] long as these guys are in the heavyweight division, I am here. You can call me Mr Clean, because I want to clean up the whole division. The division is nothing without Deontay Wilder.” Continue reading...

Alex Wong/Getty Images News U.S. President Donald Trump sharply escalated tensions with Iran on Sunday, warning of potential military strikes in a profanity-laced post on his Truth Social platform. President Trump said Iran's infrastructure will be targeted on Tuesday. (Truth Social) In the message, Trump suggested that Tuesday could bring coordinated attacks on Iranian infrastructure, describing it as a day targeting power plants and bridges. He also demanded that Iran reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, warning of severe consequences if it failed to comply. The post included unusually explicit language and a mix of religious references, underscoring the heightened tone of the administration’s messaging as the conflict intensifies. Trump framed the potential action as a response to Iran’s continued restriction of the waterway, a critical global shipping route. The remarks follow earlier warnings from the president that Iran faced a deadline to reopen the strait or risk military retaliation. The closure has disrupted global energy flows and contributed to rising geopolitical instability across the region. Iran has so far rejected U.S. ultimatums and warned of retaliation, raising concerns that any escalation could trigger a broader regional confrontation. The situation remains fluid, with global markets and governments closely watching whether the rhetoric translates into military action in the coming days.
