The Business of Film: The Woman King, Amsterdam, The Lost King & champagne with Angela Lansbury
James Cameron-Wilson takes us through the film in a box office chart down 18% on the week. The Woman King with Viola Davis, a true story of an African tribe of female warriors is #2 but james found it an unreal potboiler. David O. Russell's Amsterdam with an amazing cast including Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and Robert de Niro is #5 but James thought it an incoherent mish-mash. However, he did enjoy a true story behind the discovery of Richard III's body, The Lost King, with Sally Hawkins and Steve Coogan at #7. He also told Simon Rose how he was once invited to drink champagne with the late Angela Lansbury.

The Bigger Picture: Is Liz Truss an Existential Threat to the Conservative Party & Is Andrew Bailey the Right Man for the Job?
Political commentator Mike indian looks at what is effectively Liz Truss's 30 days in office, which have seen a rout of Prime Ministerial authority. Failing to carry her party's MPs or markets with her, has she plunged a dagger into the heart of the Tory coalition and is there an existential threat to the Conservative party? Mike also looks at the relationship of government and the Treasury to the Bank of England, where Andrew Bailey is a technocrat, much less politically astute than Mark Carney. And he wonders why, having got the energy market intervention right, Liz Truss was so unwilling to process with an awareness campaign to reduce energy.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Contrarian investing after 14 years of mispricing money unravels

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Contrarian investing after 14 years of mispricing money unravels
Russ Mould of A J Bell looks at the housebuilding sector and wonders if, in a tidal wave of bearishness, this is an opportunity for contrarian investors. He suggests bond yield proxies such as REITs are worth looking at. There are many types and, though offices may not fill again, the likes of supermarkets and online warehouses won't vanish. What we're seeing in the markets, he says, is the result of money being mispriced for 14 years and the encouragement of leverage and unwitting encouragement of complexity.

Thought for the Week: Excess Debt is not the answer

Thought for the Week

Thought for the Week: Excess Debt is not the answer
The past seventy years have seen remarkable progress in so many areas, but they have also been accompanied by a growing addiction to debt. We've lost connection with the disciplines which should govern the use of debt: like the road runner who has just lost touch with the cliff edge, there is no longer any solid ground on which we can land — so we must now anticipate painful re-adjustment as markets fall. We need to move to a mindset where debt is a form of investment for the future, to be drawn down carefully and sparingly — not to be used either for chasing higher and higher prices, or for incessant Government bail-outs.

This Is Money: How bad will the mortgage chaos get and will it sink house prices??
Rocketing rates have sent the average two and five-year fixed rate mortgage through the 6% barrier. This is a level that would have been considered unthinkable a year ago, when there were fifty mortgage deals on the market at below 1%. The Bank of England belatedly playing catching up with inflation has sent base rate from 0.1% last December to 2.25% now - and with inflation far from tamed and the US Federal Reserve going in all guns blazing on monetary policy, rates are likely to keep going up from here. But the catalyst for the past month's big jump in mortgage rates has been the turmoil triggered by the Chancellor's ill-received mini-Budget and the flurry of borrowing Britain will have to do to fund it. So, what happens next to mortgage rates, what should people who need to fix now do, and will this send house prices sinking? Georgie Frost, Helen Crane and Simon Lambert dive into the mortgage market to look at what is happening and why - and what borrowers can do about it. Are expensive fixes now worth taking, what should you do if you are buying a home and is a variable rate mortgage really now the answer? They answer these questions and more. Plus, while rate rises are bad for mortgage borrowers they are proving good news for savers, who have been starved of decent deals for many years. The top fixed rate savings are knocking on the door of 5%, but how high will savings rates go and should you fix and risk losing out on better ones in future? The ill-fated mini-Budget also brought about the abolition of the 45p tax rate, except that's now been abolished itself as Kwasi Kwarteng staged a screeching U-turn this week. Nonetheless, Simon has some middle-class tax cutting ideas that he reckons make more sense and could be popular. And finally, a reader wrote to This is Money telling us they had some letters written to them in the 1960s by a rock star who then died young and they could be worth £20,000... but will they have to pay tax if they sell? More to the point, who could the mystery rock star be?

The Hypnotist: The Copilot and the Destination
When your mind is focused on a clear and compelling vision, but there's a continual, nagging part of you - perhaps lifestyle resistance - which seems to steer you away, to mess up those best-laid plans, it's a bit like a pilot having to contend with a copilot who has a different destination in mind. This episode helps to find consensus on what's important, a common decision. Except in the strange world of quantum entanglement, we can only be in one place at the same time: so this might just help you resolve those internal conflicts.
