Fluffing the Energy Price Freeze
It was supposed to be the biggest event of last week. Until, in the words of BBC news reader Clive Myrie, Liz Truss's energy price plan was "insignificant now" as the news started filtering out about the Queen.

Imperialism And TaiwanThe recent visit of the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, to Taiwan has sharply increased the prospect of war in the region. The Chinese government and people strongly believe Taiwan to be their territory; and the no. 3 official in the US government visiting Taiwan is a clear provocation. Taiwan was invaded by Dutch colonists in 1624, only to be repulsed in 1662 by the Chinese national hero Zheng Chenggong. Taiwan became a full province in Qing Dynasty China in 1885. Ten years later the then Qing government lost Taiwan in a war with imperialist Japan. The J... read more
