I was there! Trump Wins. Get over it. Not the End of the World. The Democrats will be blaming themselves, but ultimately they lost because of inflation and how voters felt their economic situation had deteriorated under Biden. I must buy a Harris pin, and a MAGA hat…

The UK economy feels like Gormenghast. Labour wants to balance the books – but will just keep running to get no-where fast. We need an honest appraisal of the problem; a root and branch creative destruction of the bureaucracy of state. The Civil Service needs to learn to be agile and fail fast.

US polls show the election is too close to call. Suddenly we are being bombarded with “evidence” Trump is winning from online gambling site odds. Interesting, but nonsense. Polymarket’s users are not analogous with the electorate. Its also owned by Peter Theil – who maybe has a vested interest in Trump’s victory.

This is shaping up as another tense week on the ongoing uncertainty of the US Election. Harris or Trump? Equally important - will either win the whole suite of White House, Senate and Congress, avoiding political gridlock, but potentially unleashing a deluge of uncertainty on the US Bond market?

Its neck and neck in the US election. Trump promises to MAGA through tariffs, autocracy, spending and tax cuts. But the core problem behind increasing polarisation is rising inequality – undermining the fundamentals of the American dream and justice.

Last night’s US presidential debate – does it matter who won? The issue remains: what will the respective policies of Trump or Harris mean for the US and the Global Economy. The election remains too close to call.
