The telegraph tends to like a young blonde woman on the front page to help wake up their elderly readership.

The Barclays have spent their long lives demonstrating they are grade-A cunts, but still manage to surprise us by upping their game. Undoubtedly a 9-figure balance, a few short years to live, but refuse nonetheless to honour a divorce settlement that’s going to make but a tiny dent.

No expense spared to give Thatcher free lodgings in the best suite at the Ritz fir months if not years though.
 
That’s a forrin driver, in a forrin car. No wonder why he’s foaming, can’t use the gearstick with his right hand.which is clearly not his pleasure hand.
 
Lots of gems in Three reasons London's economy is about to go into reverse but I was particularly struck by:
[London in the 2010s] was a huge economic success. The trouble is, right now that is about to go into reverse - for three reasons.
First, London was the main European hub, and arguably the main global centre, for Russian money.
Vladimir Putin’s circle of mega-rich oligarchs, along with their wives, children, mistresses and hangers-on, flocked to the capital. They bought up football teams, newspapers, Mayfair and Hampstead houses, and they filled the restaurants, theatres and clubs.
Their money funded small armies of legal, financial and public relations advisers, charging lavish fees without any questions. And yet, with the war in Ukraine, all that has come to a sudden end. The oligarchs have (quite rightly, it goes without saying) been sanctioned, and the spending has been turned off. That will hit lots of places, but it will hit London hardest of all.

Translation: The party's temporarily over for a collection of gangsters who Britain had been enthusiastically playing money laundering butler for. This makes me sad, because a bunch of shady accountants and lawyers aren't being afforded lavish lifestyles any more and that misleading headline GDP bump we've been propagandising as evidence of Britain's economic "success" will be going away. This will highlight the actual state of the economy, which is trash.
 
So does anyone know what The NY Times has done that’s prompted not one but two opinion columns in the Telegraph today decrying it?

I think the rest of the Tory fanzines, notably the Mail, changed their headline on the second print run after Kwarteng contorted himself this morning.
