Posted 7 months ago 2 responses

For London’s business and financial elite, the pink pages of the Financial Times are the only thing to be seen reading on the morning commute to work. However, the FT’s sturdy grip on matters monetary will be challenged when the Wall Street Journal goes on sale later this month.

Posted about 1 month ago 0 responses

Having hinted earlier in the year that he’d favour a Barack Obama presidency, Boris Johnson has fleshed his out his “endorsement”. Writing in his Telegraph column, Boris opined that the Bush presidency had “damaged the reputation” of America’s twin columns of capitalism and democracy, and argued convincingly that, while John McCain is a worthy candidate, only Mr. Obama has the vision and the ability to “rejuvenate” the country’s global standing.
