To me it is clear China is in the ascendancy. For once President Trump, arguably, met his match.

UK politics
The ruling Labour party has a huge majority. It gained power about two years ago, but it has disappointed many people.
Many were expecting them to come in and enact radical powers which would help ordinary people. Instead they have dithered and enacted some policies at odds with Labour traditionally. The winners have been the Reform party which has a right wing agenda. As with Brexit 10 years, people have flocked to Reform, thinking they will return the UK to as it was in the middle of the last century. They think they are listening.
Many have pinned their hopes on Andy Burnham coming back into government and becoming the new Prime Minister. He is the mayor of Manchester and is well liked.
His policies are left wing and if he was elected the bond market and UK pound might suffer.
Iran and bonds
In my view President Trump was foolhardy to go to war with Iran. The ramifications on the world are huge and dangerous. I really hope he can extricate the USA soon.
10m 3W FT8 - NOT!!
Until I can fix my PC I am unlikely to be on 10m FT8. Hopefully it is something stupid that I can fix.
I have reinstalled WSJT-X so I know it is not that. Next thing to try is to make sure the TX audio is getting to the USB port. It will be fixed soon, but at the moment I am too tired.

Is Russia in trouble?
The Joe Blogs video today looks inside the Russian economy. It postulates that the Russian wartime economy model is running into trouble.
