Perhaps the most depressing thing I've read in a long while (h/t Politico's email)
"Stocks fell across the globe as fears over Trump's new tariffs intensified – though London was shielded somewhat thanks to gains among defence manufacturers who could rake it in as the world destabilises."

Car Finance... WHEN?
I'm being asked this a lot. Well from what I'm hearing I think it will most likely be March when we get to hear the outcome of the FCA consultation and it announces (if its happening which I'd say is 90% likely) the redress scheme.

Just heard someone on radio say "spendthrift" to mean someone who was tight. Actually it means the opposite a spendthrift is someone who spends a lot, extravagant, wasteful.
I wonder are there other words are often wrongly used to mean the opposite of what they actually mean?
