The Bigger Picture: Problems for the UK economy, Reform's danger to the Tories & the New Year ahead
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University rounds off the year's Bigger Pictures by explaining why investors are getting spooked by the UK economy going from bad to worse. We are effectively back in the 1970s, he says, only, in some ways, it's even worse. Instead of effectively tackling the problem, politicians' heads are full of spaghetti. If Elon Musk contributes heavily to Reform, a psychological wall will break and the Conservative Party will face an existential crisis. And Tim looks ahead to what 2025 might bring, wondering where the unforseen Black Swans will come from.

Thought for the Week: Should leadership be based on strategy or circumstance?

Thought for the Week

Thought for the Week: Should leadership be based on strategy or circumstance?
Leadership inspires and is transformative in character: it's hard to see how reacting to circumstances can achieve this outcome. The leadership given by Jesus Christ, whose birthday we celebrate each year on 25th December, has provided both inspiration and transformation throughout the past two thousand years. Oh that the Church and our politicians could learn from that example! Background music: 'Carol of the Bells' by Quincas Moreira

The Hypnotist: Hypnosis to Lose Weight without being Good
The challenge of losing weight is often accompanied by a set of self-imposed rules, and such an approach is an invitation to feel 'good' or 'bad' about it. Breaking the rules can become or source of joy leading to binges, and rigid diets can easily lead to internal conflicts. This is defined as 'polarity responding' by hypnotists, and Adam Cox helps by explaining how this adopted morality is all a bit artificial.

The Business of Fim: Kraven the Hunter, Lord of the Rings - The War of the Rohirrim & That Christmas

The Business of Fim: Kraven the Hunter, Lord of the Rings - The War of the Rohirrim & That Christmas
With box office takings down once more, James Cameron-Wilson says that #5 Kraven the Hunter is the worst ever Marvel opening. It's a mixed bag but is often entertainingly ludicrous with Russell Crowe having fun as a Russian villain. He found the anime Lords of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim often utterly baffling but it got better as it went on, even if he never wants to see anything Lords of the Ring-related ever again. On Netflix, however, he warmed to the animated That Christmas, co-written by Richard Curtis. It's a sweet and sentimental tale aimed at the whole family that does what it says on the tin.

Gadgets & Gizmos 2024 Review: AI Grannies, butter made from air, spying air fryers and much more
Steve Caplin looks back over the good, bad, ugly and bonkers of the tech world in 2024. He admired the AI scam-baiting granny, the rocket that eats itself, the underwater kite, butter made from air and the benefits of red wine and dark chocolate. He wasn't keen on Chinese spying air fryers, the flamethrowing robot dog, the airline computer that couldn't cope with a 101-year-old and AI cheating at Diplomacy. And he is still scratching his head at the bike lane sweeper that sits behind the bike and the billionaire who wants to launch a replica Titanic.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: How did 2024 turn out and what to watch out for in 2025
Contrarian that he is, Russ Mould of A J Bell was surprised that 2024 turned out pretty much as consensus had it, though few predicted the surge in Bitcoin. Looking ahead to 2025, he wonders what might knock growth and inflation off the rails. He recommends keeping an eye on government debt (growing scarily), world trade flows and tariffs, the dollar (a trade surplus would starve the world of its reserve currency), oil and food prices (important for inflation) and the Magnificent Seven (now so large that they will affect so much else).

Thought for the Week: Short-termism — Democracy’s Achilles’ Heel
Food banks are very busy at this time of year, and Trussell, which co-ordinates and supplies 1,400 of them in the UK with 36,000 volunteers, is particularly active. Its combination of nationwide scalability and local partnerships shows how voluntary and philanthropic contributions can deliver hope in the face of a welfare state which has failed to break the cycle of deprivation over the past fifty years. Is this the model, combined with a more egalitarian form of capitalism, which can provide a more compassionate society, with participation for all?
