Reeves rightly fears the bond market, but she can afford to ditch one unhelpful rule | Phillip Inman

The chancellor has wisely vowed to drive down the annual deficit, but long-term defence investment must not be delayed There is a good reason Rachel Reeves is wary of the dreaded bond market vigilantes. Anyone who inherits a mountain of debt and then finds out that many of the lenders act like sharks is right to be concerned. Most of the participants in financial markets are not actively predatory. They swim in a sea of money with only one rule, to stick together, hoovering up as much profit as

‘It’s a twilight zone’: Iran war casts deep shadows over IMF gathering in Washington

Rachel Reeves joins global finance chiefs in highlighting how households and businesses are feeling the pain of higher energy prices The most severe energy shock since the 1970s, the risk of a global recession and households everywhere stomaching a renewed surge in the cost of living – hitting the most vulnerable hardest.

Digested week: Hungary’s election result is rare good news in a depressing and surreal world | John Crace

Not least because JD Vance’s show of support for Viktor Orbán appears to have had opposite of desired effect So much of the news is depressing these days. The wars in Iran, Lebanon and Ukraine. The cost of living crisis. At times it feels as if the world has tipped into the surreal. Donald Trump posting photos of himself on his Truth Social account as the Risen Christ. A step too far even for Nigel Farage. And the US president picking a fight with the pope. Leo is a terrible man, apparently, for

The Guardian view on Starmer and Mandelson: a story that doesn’t add up | Editorial

Birmingham is awash with local election candidates – but will result be a ‘coalition of chaos’?

Some fear a fragmented field of hopefuls from Labour, the Conservatives, Greens, Reform and Independents could leave city ungovernable Paul Tilsley was 23 when he was first elected for the Liberal party in Birmingham’s 1968 council elections. At the time, the UK had an unpopular Labour government facing an economic crisis, tensions around immigration and US pressure to back military action abroad.

A question for those desperate to cut benefits to fund defence: who exactly are you willing to impoverish? | Polly Toynbee

George Robertson has joined Reform and the Tories in making the case. Look welfare recipients in the face and say that The benefits budget is now a magic money tree.
