No doubt the post-pandemic boom in new business formation is promising. But it probably won’t transform the economy anytime soon as small biz is vulnerable to recessions.

Everywhere you look in Britain today you can see power shifting to Labour. Corporate types from Goldman Sachs and Amazon stalked the halls of the Labour conference in Liverpool but could hardly be bothered with the Conservatives. Civil servants hardly even go through the motion of putting Conservative policies into place
The EU is the No. 3 world economy, Israel’s largest trading partner and the biggest donor to the Palestinian Authority. It can and should be a player, not just a payer of aid, in the Middle East.

If it remains localised without affecting major oil producers or transit routes, prices may see limited immediate change, prompting OPEC to maintain current production levels
The Hamas terrorists who murdered babies weren’t stamped with pathological hatred at birth. It was an acquired habit, the result of a process of moral dulling and rage sharpening. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is a national leader in implementing sadistic policies to inflict harm on targeted populations. Depravity has an increasingly solid foothold in the US. It is hard to pretend not knowing where it leads
