The Bigger Picture: Rwanda Bill delay, the WASPI women & Varadkar's resignation
Political commentator Mike Indian discusses the latest delay to Rishi Sunak's Rwanda Bill, wondering if there is anybody other than him who believes that the legislation is a good idea. Instead, it is an indication of his waning authority. He looks at the Parliamentary Ombudsman's statement on the WASPI women, born in the 1950s, who lost out as the state pension age was raised. While the Ombudsman says they should get compensation the government is still refusing to comply. What will a Labour government do? And Mike lastly looks at the surprise resignation of Leo Varadkar as Irish PM, despite still being young and energetic. He sees it as an indication of just how tough political life can be.

The Business of Film: Anatomy of a Fall, Damsel & Ricky Stanicky
James Cameron-Wilson analyses the latest box office chart, -28%, still dominated by Dune 2. With no new films to see, James turns to the home video release of the French drama Anatomy of a Fall. nominated for 5 Oscars and winning for its screenplay. It was more rewarding on a second viewing, being multi-layered, perceptive and peopled with three-dimensional characters. He feels that what he thought was a good film could be a great one. He was impressed, as before, by the 20-year-old Millie Bobby Brown who is the heroine of Netflix's dark fantasy Damsel, which he found intense and violent. He found Peter Farrelly's gross-out Amazon Prime comedy Ricky Stanicky, with Zac Efron, highly offensive and unfunny.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Law Debenture & Team Internet
Neil Shah of Edison Group thinks investors should be looking ahead several months, when interest rates will be lower and companies doing better. He likes the look of investment trust Law Debenture, predominantly investing in UK equities, split between larger and small & midcap companies, which are even more undervalued. Their professional services business enhances the returns, as explained in a note on Edison's website. If you think the internet is here to stay, then he favours internet services company Team Internet, especially after their recent record results. On an undemanding valuation, it has now grown to the point where it is large enough to attract more institutional investors.

Thought for the Week: Memory and Copyright

Thought for the Week

Thought for the Week: Memory and Copyright
The science of memory and how it shapes us is the central question in Dr. Charan Ranganath's new book. It's an absolute truism that memory is deeply personal and individual to each one of us, but does it really vest in the neurons in our brain, or in our soul? In contrast, human creativity is not the possession of intermediating corporations but a collage gathered from right across the great human family. Antiquated copyright legislation is really showing strains as generative AI emulates the thinking process: it's time to overhaul copyright law, and for everyone to share the benefits.
