Trump is delulu: "Jobs are coming in through the roof and we have factories being built all over the country. We've taken in $18 trillion plus in 11 months."
The US fiscal deficit for 2026 is forecast to be $1.9trn which is 5.8% of GDP. So $18trn in 11 months would be over 50% of GDP. Which is a rather long way of saying the man is genuinely mad.

The UK's asylum appeals backlog has reached a record high, almost doubling in size in almost a year, according to data published by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) on Thursday.
There were 80,333 appeals waiting to be heard at the end of 2025, up from 41,987 a year earlier and the average waiting time for an asylum appeal was 63 weeks, up from 48 weeks in 2024.
I suspect that this is an inevitable consequence of the current government's efforts to have more and quicker decisions made at first instance. Who could possibly have foreseen such a thing?
Another day, another, well, we'll see, at Cheltenham.
I come on here and read we are going to deport immigrants - I thought we already deported those whose applications for asylum were unsuccessful but it seems instead as was the case once with tax and spend, we are embarking on a dutch auction to see who can be the "hardest" on immigration. A fine example of what happens when your have Government and Opposition positions determined by focus groups and tweets rather than what is good for the country.
It also seems we want to continue with one of our stupidest moves in the past 30-40 years - there's no problem with taking infrastructure out of public hands but we sell it to foreign companies. Fine, we get a nice little sum in the coffers but longer term you end up with the spectacle of British consumers having to pay more for their electricity and gas to foreign companies who use that to subsidise the costs their home customers pay.
Poor foreign people aren't welcome but rich foreign companies are - we begrudge any money going to the former but we are happy to pay more than we should to the latter - makes no sense at all.
How do you explain so many favourites turned over by winners so far out in the betting at this Cheltenham Stodge?
Correct me where I have the science wrong, Punters back horses down to shorter odds - a few antepost fancied runners have drifted, and won, whilst some horses have come in on the betting in the last week to go off favourites and come nowhere - I should know, I was on them and watched them go backwards as 40-1 outsiders glided passed them.
It’s got to be something to do with where punters are getting their guidance? It should be based on what we have seen, evidence based? Course and distance hasn’t changed nor has the going.
Is mainstream media, alt and social media, pushing some runners without enough evidence, or journalism not previewing races objectively enough?
Might be all of that or none of that.
Mullins has had a right go at Jon Pullin and Cheltenham over the going but the problem is the course drains so well and so quickly you can have the wettest January and February for years and you are still having to water to stop the ground going too fast.
At Auteuil, they water constantly to provide Soft or Heavy ground all year round and Cheltenham could provide that on one of the courses I imagine but the truth is the course just doesn't hold the moisture as it once did.
Throw in the nonsense of the starts and you get a meeting which for me is getting too big for its own boots. I'd take it back to three days and move some of the championship races to other tracks.
I'd also look seriously at having the whole Festival in mid February with the National at the end of February IF you want a soft ground spectacle.
You can't have the three main staying chases (the Betfair, the King George and the Gold Cup) all run on Good ground - you need to guarantee one can be run on genuinely soft or even heavy turf.
I'm sure the Ed Chamberlins of this world will have you believe Cheltenham is an unqualified triumph which, to paraphrase Mary Poppins, is "practically perfect in every way".

Trump has given Israel roughly a week to show that it can bring home regime change in Iran. According to Kayhan London “Israeli micro-drones and UAVs began targeting IRGC, Basij, and Law Enforcement checkpoints in several cities including Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, and Shiraz. “Under conditions where keeping streets under control is a key element for preserving the survival of the entire regime, targeting the suppressors at checkpoints is in fact a strike against the last protective shields of the Islamic Republic.” The death toll is likely to be high. This is Netanyahu’s best and probably last chance to fulfil a decades long plan to destroy the regime. He knows he is working against a clock and the oil price.

Yes, it was fairly obviously corrupt. The funny thing is that they must have known it would all become a matter of public record.

Yokes - We attacked Iran with no clear plan for regime change - say the Israeli security sources.
Is there much substance to Israel security services so publicly calling this bit out?
I’m suspicious. Surely the government/politicians can argue back, planning all this involves the security services, and security services cannot speak out publicly like this in the middle of a war.
More likely this is a media outlet publishing what it wants to be true, journalists only existing in an echo chamber of made up stories like this one?
A supplementary question, if I may. Israel sending coordinates for US to target and hit without really knowing what they are shooting at - how large scale do we guess this is, in this war? Is it something US military command happy to embrace, or told to go this route by their politicians?
The Daily Mail article seems they found a couple of disgruntled expats and that’s it. I doubt very much there’ll be a mass exodus back to Blighty .
I wouldn't be so sure
People do not like being bombed
East Asian cities will benefit. No one is going to attack Singapore. Bangkok is pretty safe. Hong Kong suddenly looks less scary
But there may also be a benefit to London, Paris, etc
If our government had any sense (they do not) they would sieze this moment to reverse some of the non-dom changes and make golden visas available to people wanting to flee Dubai for London. The tax gain would be significant. Unfortunately, we are governed by Labour

I have a good friend in the East Midlands who had excellent work wear contacts with China and a business established 20 years.
He filled in all the forms, proved his track record nd got agreed delivery schedules for PPE specifically masks supied by him for asbestos and other dangerous wirk
The Chinese confirmed masks were compliant for hospitals.
He never heard back
He was then told by his Contacts that a newco in UK had bought every bit of PPE they had at 4 x the going rate. He found out the name of the newco.

Information used to target Basij checkpoints in Tehran airstrikes was provided by ordinary Iranians via Israeli Persian-language social media accounts, a senior Israeli security official says. The tips are vetted by Israeli intelligence before any strike is carried out. — WSJ
Trump has given Israel roughly a week to show that it can bring home regime change in Iran. According to Kayhan London “Israeli micro-drones and UAVs began targeting IRGC, Basij, and Law Enforcement checkpoints in several cities including Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, and Shiraz. “Under conditions where keeping streets under control is a key element for preserving the survival of the entire regime, targeting the suppressors at checkpoints is in fact a strike against the last protective shields of the Islamic Republic.” The death toll is likely to be high. This is Netanyahu’s best and probably last chance to fulfil a decades long plan to destroy the regime. He knows he is working against a clock and the oil price.
I don't get the sense that the Iranian regime will settle after a week (and that's assuming that have any semblance of control over the various IRGC units). But this kind of reporting suggests to me that Trump doesn't understand that at all.
I don't want to go all Barty but the Israelis/Americans need to prepare for a months/years long campaign of desperately trying to keep the strait open.

How do you explain so many favourites turned over by winners so far out in the betting at this Cheltenham Stodge?
Correct me where I have the science wrong, Punters back horses down to shorter odds - a few antepost fancied runners have drifted, and won, whilst some horses have come in on the betting in the last week to go off favourites and come nowhere - I should know, I was on them and watched them go backwards as 40-1 outsiders glided passed them.
It’s got to be something to do with where punters are getting their guidance? It should be based on what we have seen, evidence based? Course and distance hasn’t changed nor has the going.
Is mainstream media, alt and social media, pushing some runners without enough evidence, or journalism not previewing races objectively enough?
Might be all of that or none of that.
Mullins has had a right go at Jon Pullin and Cheltenham over the going but the problem is the course drains so well and so quickly you can have the wettest January and February for years and you are still having to water to stop the ground going too fast.
At Auteuil, they water constantly to provide Soft or Heavy ground all year round and Cheltenham could provide that on one of the courses I imagine but the truth is the course just doesn't hold the moisture as it once did.
Throw in the nonsense of the starts and you get a meeting which for me is getting too big for its own boots. I'd take it back to three days and move some of the championship races to other tracks.
I'd also look seriously at having the whole Festival in mid February with the National at the end of February IF you want a soft ground spectacle.
You can't have the three main staying chases (the Betfair, the King George and the Gold Cup) all run on Good ground - you need to guarantee one can be run on genuinely soft or even heavy turf.
I'm sure the Ed Chamberlins of this world will have you believe Cheltenham is an unqualified triumph which, to paraphrase Mary Poppins, is "practically perfect in every way". It isn't and pandering to the crowds to get 60,000 every day through the gates misses the point if the racing itself is the victim whether it's the starts or the surface.
Kemi going in boots on over Starmer having sent petrol prices through the roof with his war with Iran.
I wonder if she's thought about blockading Ebbsfleet and Fawley with trucks and tractors like Hague did in 2000.
Go on girl!
Surely Starmer just says: I never supported this war, but you did - you own these rises.
Some insane idiots actually believe her shit
They need sectioning.
Global oil price rises are all Starmer's fault
That what she is saying.
Well Ed Miliband thinks we can save the climate by setting an example to other countries so why wouldn't the same logic work here?
If we set an example by going to war with Iran and everyone else followed our lead, it would surely be over in no time, leading to a glut of oil on global markets.
You seriously think that. Your off your rocker
Thanks to 14 years and 22% cut in defence spending under Kemi Badenoch Tory Party our Armed Forces are hollowed out.
So let's assume we'd have gone all in, every available plane, ship
What difference would we have made
2% 3%??
Every citizen, city, town, village in this Country would be at risk to soothe the blinking idiots fucking vanity.
2% or 3% would be more than our share of global climate emissions.
It's more about our ability to lead by example and encourage others to step up. Is Keir Starmer not a globally respected figure to whom people around the world look for guidance on moral and political questions? If people saw him getting involved, it would be a signal to the likes of Xi and Modi to get on the right side of history.
What's global warming got to do with declaring war on Iran

Mares tend to win at certain points of their cycle
If you are claiming hormonal fluctuations do create barrier to horses winning, does that apply to all life on earth, including humans? Ladies cannot produce their best “whilst on heat?”
Do you wish to withdraw what you said about racing mares?
My latest prediction is, you are heading for a spell in “the toilets” or worse.
Mares in horse racing have decidedly better form at certain stages in there 6 month cycle.
I've studied it for profit.
Trainers are aware of it and specifically run in certain months.
I've recently made a tidy sum on an Irish mare called Milan away. She won and placed in a number of races in an 8 week window.
Back in the day the East German athletes were encouraged, sickeningly so in some cases to get pregnant 6 to 8 weeks before major Championships. The peak hormonal boost in the first trimester.
The bastards then made them have abortions.
Back to horses you'll often find a 6 or 7 year old mare on flat or jumps will have peak form in 8 week periods twice a year.
If feminists can't cope with an excellent way to profit in the sport if kings tough shit.
I'll find some examples in the coming weeks and post them for you to check out.
ON topic, I just cooked celeriac for the first time
Yes, it's this kind of news that makes PB addictive and compelling
But how nice is celeriac? Wow. Had it in a mash with potato and loads of butter, sea salt, kampot pepper, chili flakes, mmmm
CELERIAC
You read it here last
There was a time in the late 90s, early 2000s where you couldn’t escape celeriac mash. It was like Covid slowly creeping out of the Wuhan high end restaurants until it had reached even the outposts of the Cock and Bull in Newent.
I’m guessing CELERIAC IS BACK.
How did I miss CELERIAC 1.0??
It's like missing the Beatles and the Stones and only getting into Britpop with Blur and Oasis
Dear Barty Bobbins - you are supporting this war, and all its consequences, for a specific outcome - that many of us don’t mind happening actually after the horrors of January, but we recognise that it has NEVER been serious part of the mission statement, planning or operations or any resolve in the way the war is being conducted. The Israeli security services don’t even believe it ever was. On this basis, is it fair of us shaking our heads at you? Is it time for you to stop holding out?
Actually it's quite reassuring that, having travelled the world, been to 100 countries, fucked 10000000 women, done everything legal and most things illegal, a grizzled and raddled old libertine like me can still find a remarkable new vegetable, quietly hanging out in every supermarket. Celeriac
A French helicopter was hit as a result of an attack by Iran-backed factions on the French airbase in Erbil, and 6 French soldiers were injured in the attack French forces impose a curfew in the area
Another day, another, well, we'll see, at Cheltenham.
I come on here and read we are going to deport immigrants - I thought we already deported those whose applications for asylum were unsuccessful but it seems instead as was the case once with tax and spend, we are embarking on a dutch auction to see who can be the "hardest" on immigration. A fine example of what happens when your have Government and Opposition positions determined by focus groups and tweets rather than what is good for the country.
It also seems we want to continue with one of our stupidest moves in the past 30-40 years - there's no problem with taking infrastructure out of public hands but we sell it to foreign companies. Fine, we get a nice little sum in the coffers but longer term you end up with the spectacle of British consumers having to pay more for their electricity and gas to foreign companies who use that to subsidise the costs their home customers pay.

I wouldn’t worry, I’m guessing I will work out how fun AI is in about 15 years. Things come to us at different times, but when we are ready.
The Daily Mail article seems they found a couple of disgruntled expats and that’s it. I doubt very much there’ll be a mass exodus back to Blighty .
I wouldn't be so sure
People do not like being bombed
East Asian cities will benefit. No one is going to attack Singapore. Bangkok is pretty safe. Hong Kong suddenly looks less scary
But there may also be a benefit to London, Paris, etc
If our government had any sense (they do not) they would sieze this moment to reverse some of the non-dom changes and make golden visas available to people wanting to flee Dubai for London. The tax gain would be significant. Unfortunately, we are governed by Labour

Some quite disturbing images emerging, of attacks on Dubai towers
Impossible to know if they are
1. Fake 2. Sort of faked 3. Real but from a different place or time 4. Real but seriously suppressed by the Dubai Government
The Dubai regime has made a grave error in jailing people for negative tweets, films of drones, etc. This is going to hugely boost mistrust of *everything Dubai*, and therefore increase hostility to the city in general, and, likewise, only amplify fears in the absence of accepted truth

I wouldn’t worry, I’m guessing I will work out how fun AI is in about 15 years. Things come to us at different times, but when we are ready.
My obsession with AI - which has bored all my friends and family titless these past four years, even more than it has bored PB - is now turning into serious wonga
Turns out that being obsessive about technology at an early stage can be rather beneficial when that tech turns into the Next Big Thing
But I am not allowed to talk about it, so you'll just have to guess how I used it
Does rather put our proposed increases of defence spending into perspective, doesn't it?
Hmm. I suspect that's a bit like Royal Weddings costing £200 million or whatever it is. The vast majority of the costs are already sunk, it's just that the cops are guarding the Mall rather than (not) investigating bike thefts.
Netanyahu: The war in Iran is turning Israel into a "global superpower."
So it’s not just Trump and Another Richard that are totally tonto.
Perhaps you would prefer it I would cheer along and wave the pompoms.
Okay then.
Joe Biden is fit for office. Hunter Biden is a victim of a political witch hunt. Even if Hunter Biden is guilty he will never be given a presidential pardon. The prosecutions of Trump are masterpieces of legal planning. Trump cannot win because his crowds are so small. Dems never gerrymander.
Alternatively I'll keep pointing out the occasional uncomfortable truth.
And you know why that's important ?
Because when groupthink become obligatory people stop thinking.
Now you are being silly.
Biden was suffering from an age related neurological disorder, he was not fit for re election. Trump is suffering from dementia, add in his narcissism and that is a dangerous cocktail.
Hunter Biden is probably a bad 'un, but he is a rank amateur compared to Trump and Beavis and Butthead.
The dereliction of duty from Merrick Garland was off the scale. He could have and should have prosecuted Trump for 01/06/21 and Epstein.
Trump is the one fixated with crowd size. No one else.
Dems gerrymander too, although I can understand why Newsom is doing what he is doing. But Dems also have a piss poor track record when they can manipulate an election. Kennedy in 1960 is probably a case in point.

Dear Barty Bobbins - you are supporting this war, and all its consequences, for a specific outcome - that many of us don’t mind happening actually after the horrors of January, but we recognise that it has NEVER been serious part of the mission statement, planning or operations or any resolve in the way the war is being conducted. The Israeli security services don’t even believe it ever was. On this basis, is it fair of us shaking our heads at you? Is it time for you to stop holding out?
Define what you are shaking heads at first.
I don't support Trump. I don't support what America is doing.
I do support regime change. I have said repeatedly boots should go on the ground if required.
If Trump TACOs out then he has buggered this up royally.
I have said all along I would not be surprised to see Trump TACO out. Hell, I put a TACO in my avatar!

Trump seems to be attempting ironic comedy with the 250 comment.
"The Treaty of Paris, signed by representatives of King George III of Great Britain and representatives of the United States on September 3, 1783, officially ended the War of American Independence and recognized the Thirteen Colonies, which had been part of colonial British America, to be free, sovereign and independent unified states."
Shashank Joshi @shashj · 43m Remarkable. "Iranian missiles have trapped about 15% of global oil supplies on the far side of the strait. That is roughly twice the disruption the world suffered in the 1970s"
Does rather put our proposed increases of defence spending into perspective, doesn't it?
Hmm. I suspect that's a bit like Royal Weddings costing £200 million or whatever it is. The vast majority of the costs are already sunk, it's just that the cops are guarding the Mall rather than (not) investigating bike thefts.
That's true but it won't be doing much damage to the share price of the manufacturers of these expensive missiles and bombs who will build replacements. It also highlights another problem that the US has had before. WTF is there in Iran that is worth spending even close to that amount of money on to destroy? We saw this in both Iraq and Afghanistan when $1m missiles were being used to take out cars with a machine gun mount worth $10k maximum.
What we are seeing in Ukraine is that effective kit is cheap and readily replaceable kit and its not something that either the US or UK defence establishments are very good at.

I hate to say this but @Leon was probably correct. Trump is going to end this with nukes isn't he?
At some point he is going to learn that Truman used two nukes and he is going to want to break the record bigly.
If someone manages to get the concept that the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to prevent the deaths of US troops into Trump’s addled, mashed celeriac brain, that will be the time of maximum danger.

'This was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.'
I'm pretty sure that will end up being the case - but this is the Trump administration so you cannot take their word for anything. A day ago the DOD said they were escorting ships through Hormuz when that was complete bollocks.

I mean he is so far ahead of the field I feel like he deserves to be a millionaire or more for the effort. Fair play to him.
Compared to other events though it seems a tad unfair e.g. 100m even if you are well ahead of the field you can't judge to the 0.01s to keep breaking the record. High jump and pole vault are the two that you can exploit this.
He isn't the first to do this though, Sergey Bubka did it 35 times (if you include indoor and outdoor) over his career.

Netanyahu: The war in Iran is turning Israel into a "global superpower."
I've studied it for profit.
Trainers are aware of it and specifically run in certain months.
I've recently made a tidy sum on an Irish mare called Milan away. She won and placed in a number of races in an 8 week window.
Back in the day the East German athletes were encouraged, sickeningly so in some cases to get pregnant 6 to 8 weeks before major Championships. The peak hormonal boost in the first trimester.
The bastards then made them have abortions.
Back to horses you'll often find a 6 or 7 year old mare on flat or jumps will have peak form in 8 week periods twice a year.
If feminists can't cope with an excellent way to profit in the sport if kings tough shit.
I'll find some examples in the coming weeks and post them for you to check out.

@patrickwintour
Trump has given Israel roughly a week to show that it can bring home regime change in Iran. According to Kayhan London “Israeli micro-drones and UAVs began targeting IRGC, Basij, and Law Enforcement checkpoints in several cities including Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, and Shiraz.
“Under conditions where keeping streets under control is a key element for preserving the survival of the entire regime, targeting the suppressors at checkpoints is in fact a strike against the last protective shields of the Islamic Republic.”
The death toll is likely to be high. This is Netanyahu’s best and probably last chance to fulfil a decades long plan to destroy the regime. He knows he is working against a clock and the oil price.

You can tell how long Leon and Isam have spent there, from their graffiti on the walls.
Brixians graffiti are likely to be Neanderthal cave paintings.
Is there much substance to Israel security services so publicly calling this bit out?
I’m suspicious. Surely the government/politicians can argue back, planning all this involves the security services, and security services cannot speak out publicly like this in the middle of a war.
More likely this is a media outlet publishing what it wants to be true, journalists only existing in an echo chamber of made up stories like this one?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/12/israel-iran-us-attack-no-plan-for-regime-change-security-sources
A supplementary question, if I may. Israel sending coordinates for US to target and hit without really knowing what they are shooting at - how large scale do we guess this is, in this war? Is it something US military command happy to embrace, or told to go this route by their politicians?
People do not like being bombed
East Asian cities will benefit. No one is going to attack Singapore. Bangkok is pretty safe. Hong Kong suddenly looks less scary
But there may also be a benefit to London, Paris, etc
If our government had any sense (they do not) they would sieze this moment to reverse some of the non-dom changes and make golden visas available to people wanting to flee Dubai for London. The tax gain would be significant. Unfortunately, we are governed by Labour
If the USA and Israel want regime change then put boots on the ground otherwise just STFU !
Okay then.
Joe Biden is fit for office.
Hunter Biden is a victim of a political witch hunt.
Even if Hunter Biden is guilty he will never be given a presidential pardon.

Because when groupthink become obligatory people stop thinking.
He filled in all the forms, proved his track record nd got agreed delivery schedules for PPE specifically masks supied by him for asbestos and other dangerous wirk
The Chinese confirmed masks were compliant for hospitals.
He never heard back
He was then told by his Contacts that a newco in UK had bought every bit of PPE they had at 4 x the going rate. He found out the name of the newco.
4 directors, 3 of which were councillors. The company traded for 14 months and was then liquidated owing hundreds of thousands. Very similar to One case

Information used to target Basij checkpoints in Tehran airstrikes was provided by ordinary Iranians via Israeli Persian-language social media accounts, a senior Israeli security official says. The tips are vetted by Israeli intelligence before any strike is carried out. — WSJ
I don't want to go all Barty but the Israelis/Americans need to prepare for a months/years long campaign of desperately trying to keep the strait open.
Maybe Kemi is one of them..
Anyhoo, Mr Trump has declared that the Iranian Navy is destroyed, and that the Strait of Hormuz is a minor issue, and the war is nearly over.
Why does he need a global coalition of allies that do not make any difference anyway?
Which is why regime changes in Eastern Europe in 1989-1991 were successful and why those in the Middle East have tended to fail.

3. Real but from a different place or time
4. Real but seriously suppressed by the Dubai Government
The Dubai regime has made a grave error in jailing people for negative tweets, films of drones, etc. This is going to hugely boost mistrust of *everything Dubai*, and therefore increase hostility to the city in general, and, likewise, only amplify fears in the absence of accepted truth

As is how supportive of the Iranian state are the non-Persian peoples of Iran.
Biden was suffering from an age related neurological disorder, he was not fit for re election. Trump is suffering from dementia, add in his narcissism and that is a dangerous cocktail.
Hunter Biden is probably a bad 'un, but he is a rank amateur compared to Trump and Beavis and Butthead.
The dereliction of duty from Merrick Garland was off the scale. He could have and should have prosecuted Trump for 01/06/21 and Epstein.
Trump is the one fixated with crowd size. No one else.
Dems gerrymander too, although I can understand why Newsom is doing what he is doing. But Dems also have a piss poor track record when they can manipulate an election. Kennedy in 1960 is probably a case in point.
