Joe Biden has been forced to defend his cognitive state after a special counsel’s report into the unauthorised storage of classified documents described the US president as “an elderly man with a poor memory” The report is just the latest example of the vicious tenor of US politics.

Bidenomics has been transformative for the US . While Europe stagnates and China experiences rapid deflation.

I would swap our sprightly young PM for an octogenarian who sometimes falls over if it also meant swapping the UK ’s economic stagnation for GDP that is growing five times faster ( US GDP was an annualised 3.3 per cent in 2023 , vs 0.6 per cent in the UK ). So he forgets things? Big whoop! This piece first appeared in the Morning Call newsletter; receive it every morning by subscribing on Substack here..
