Once Shy Twice Bitten, Domino Theory Revisited, The Ascent of Musk

Kamala Harris is ahead in six key swing states - according to several major polls. All of which are categorically wrong.

Could the ghost of the Shy Trumper be about to smite the Dems for the third election running? And why are the usual media suspects pretending it isn’t a thing, never has been, never could be?


Meanwhile, in Malaysia and Indonesia, a new domino theory is starting to stack up. In the world of friendshoring and belt-and-road, the Pacific rim was always going to be the key prize - and China is gaining the upper hand.

Finally, Twitter-X is being pitched into a classic royale — between the mobile forces of capital and the fixed forces of national politics.


Not content with fighting a flame war against Keir Starmer, Elon Musk now being set upon by Thierry Breton - Europe’s information commissioner. Which is like being savaged by not one dead sheep, but two.


In the most mobile industry in the world, thirty years of globalisation theory suggests there can be only one winner. One look at Musk’s meme game says he could still flub it.
