The Other Hand

    Irish house prices and jobs are still booming.

    Irish employment is still growing - at another all-time high. Not unrelatedly, house prices are also booming. UK farmers are protesting about inheritance taxation. What are the issues and do they have wider resonance? Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/the-other-hand-with-jim.power-and-chris.johns. Hosted on Acast.

  2. Budget 2025 meets Project 2025. Nobody seems to have noticed.

    Budget 2025 meets Project 2025. Nobody seems to have noticed.

    Budget 2025 has been derailed by Project 2025 - the radical agenda denied by Trump during his campaign (it really is so extreme even he had to disavow it). Notwithstanding the denials, Project 2025 is now being implemented. But few Irish or European politicians seem to have noticed. Latest EU Commission economic forecasts are pretty dire. The US is leaving the EU for dust. And a new gap has emerged: the EU North versus the Eu South Will the EU ever be an economically dynamic region again? Has the battle against inflation really been won? At least one natural gas price has doubled recently. China is limbering up to fight the Trump trade war.

  3. What can you do if the electorate will bear anything but the truth?

    What can you do if the electorate will bear anything but the truth?

    Trump is impossible to forecast - so should we stop trying? Is talking about him merely enabling him? Colluding with him? There is a spiders-web of connections between Trump and Brexit. Farage, Le Pen and Orban have a new spring in their step. Brexiteers still hanker after a free trade deal with the US. They must confront the reality of a protectionist US President - and government. One way Trump could make mischief would be to implement his global tariffs but offer the UK an exemption. The British government could hardly say no. But that would blow out of the water all of their efforts 'to get closer to the EU'. That would be the end of the 'rebuilding trust' project. Brexit is now too difficult to talk about. It may even be a problem too difficult to solve. Most Britons agree that Brexit was a mistake but is now a problem child best kept hidden. Electorates everywhere want anything but the truth.

  4. The Trump effect on markets and the global economy. Somebody is getting it very wrong. Who?

    The Trump effect on markets and the global economy. Somebody is getting it very wrong. Who?

    The list of reasons why Trump won is getting longer. Some make sense, some do not. We look at the evidence-based ones. One very stark conclusion: not every Trump voter thinks all that positively about the President-elect. It's simply that they find the Democratic Party even more repulsive. The Trump trade is on. The stock market loves the prospect of trade wars, budget-busting tax cuts and mass deportations. Something doesn't add up. Incumbent governments everywhere are having a very hard time. The outgoing Irsh coalition should take note. Old media is as wounded as the opinion poll industry. Podcasting helped win it for Trump. A billion spent on TV ads did nothing for Harris.

    UK drowns in debt as Ireland wallows in cash - what a contrast. Labour delivers a proper old fashioned class war budget

    The first UK budget ever delivered by a female Chancellor was presented with aplomb and panache. A pity the details didn’t match up to the presentation.

    Europe's woes deepen. They go back a long way and are suddenly getting worse - Germany's car engine has broken down

    Germany is in economic trouble. Its car industry - 7% of the economy - is being squeezed by struggling exports (to China in particular) and a poorly handled transition to EVs. Add in problems that go back decades and maybe its time to become a Eurosceptic again. If Trump wins, the Democrats need to look in mirror.
