Looking from outside Britain, I have been surprised at how I’ll prepared for governing Labour have been since the election. Now it is shocking how little confidence they have in their own agenda that they feel they have to outflank the extreme right. Bizarre and very troubling.

Michael McDowell: Ministers need to stop blaming obstacles to delivery - and do something about them Constant headlines about housing schemes being struck down by councils, the planning board and the courts are chipping away at public confidence

At last election FF/FG were given a final chance to resolve the biggest issue facing Ireland. They are still failing. They will not get another chance.

Oh Chris. Does the end always justify the means? High grade shithousery.

Chin up. It’s the inevitability of fatherhood. Death, taxes etc etc. Keep reminding yourself you are good at something, and every day, keep searching for what the hell it is!

Is there a single emotion that Rory McIlroy has not experienced today? Incredible skill and character. There is a reason only 5 others have achieved this. Fair play to Rose as well. #themaster #rorymcilroy

Analysis: A US-China trade war could be catastrophic. What is Trump’s endgame strategy? | CNN Politics The fast-worsening trade war between the United States and China — the planet’s premier geopolitical powers, whose economies are intricately entwined — threatens to wreak severe damage on both nations...

Good analysis on the strategy and lack thereof of DTs tariff war. By taking his BS to the global stage, DT is exposing his amateur “Art of the Deal” nonsense to an opponent who simply won’t buy it. There is one side that is playing chess here and it ain’t the US ‘snakes and ladders’ MAGA crowd.

US consumer sentiment plummets to second-lowest level on records going back to 1952 | CNN Business Americans are rarely this pessimistic about the economy.

Consumer sentiment lowest since 1952, trillions wiped off markets, dollar value and reputation plummeting, inflation about to soar. All within firsts 100 days. Wow!! if this does it secure “worst president in history” title what will? #WorstPOTUSinHistory

This is an important point that has not been highlighted enough over the last few weeks. Services are easier to substitute than relocating factories. The international corporate and consumer backlash against US service companies is already quietly happening.

Shane Coleman: Two months to decide next decade of housing delivery across the state Time is not something the government has the luxury of right now. There is a deep sense of pessimism in the construction sector about the future

Good article by Shane Coleman. Irelands government parties will not be given another chance to fix the biggest social and economic problem. Their start is far from encouraging and all indications are they are not taking it seriously. Lightweight minister put in charge. No clear policy.
