  • Marriage of team spirit and attention to detail led to England’s golden confetti moment | Women’s Euro 2025

    Marriage of team spirit and attention to detail led to England’s golden confetti moment | Women’s Euro 2025

    The gold confetti may have been swept away but it will take some time for the dust to settle on the most remarkable of tournaments. England are European champions. Again. Writing a new chapter in the history book of English football. Leah Williamson, the first England captain to lift two major trophies. Michelle Agyemang, the 19-year-old wonderkid. Jess Carter and her remarkable performance amid the most difficult of times. Hannah Hampton, defying the odds to become England’s saviour on penalties, twice. Chloe Kelly almost quitting football in January and becoming a European champion for club and country by the end of July. Lucy Bronze playing with a leg fracture.

    Each one of the 23 has a tale to tell. The people are remarkable and their stories are remarkable.

    Though they were the reigning champions, this tournament was in many ways a harder European Championship to win than in 2022. Then, they had home advantage and their first-choice starting XI avoided injury and Covid at the crucial time. At the home tournament the support around the side stepped up a gear and aligned with a playing group that was a mix of the best of the preceding generation and the cream of the new crop of young professionals coming through, who had benefited from the investment in the Women’s Super League and national team pathways.

    The water has been choppier since, as England’s record became pockmarked with defeats and draws. There were setbacks for Williamson and Beth Mead, who both suffered anterior cruciate ligament injuries that ruled them out of the 2023 World Cup. On the eve of that tournament came news the players were frustrated that talks over bonuses had broken down. Still, they battled on, reaching a second major final in 12 months, which they lost against Spain.

    The following two years would be similarly fraught, England failing to secure qualification for a Team GB side at the 2024 Olympic Games before Nations League defeats by Belgium and Spain led to many questioning the viability of their European title defence in Switzerland.

    The decisions this year of Mary Earps and Fran Kirby to retire from international football, and of Millie Bright to withdraw herself from selection in the space of a few days, only further fuelled the doubts.

    The landscape was very different going into this tournament compared to the last. Time moves fast in women’s football and, as federations increasingly see the growth potential in the women’s game, the rest of Europe is catching up.

    The English FA responded with extra investment, seen in the finer details. No expense was spared in ensuring the players were supported. That included their barista James and his dog Reggie accompanying them to Switzerland, and everything from games consoles to basketball hoops and Lioness-branded Yorkshire tea. They were also able to bring their own home comforts, Agyemang having her piano and Lauren Hemp a Lego castle. It’s these fine margins that continue to be a key aspect in keeping England’s noses ahead, but there are other important factors that contributed to this win.

    Critically, the togetherness of the team has been a feature of interviews with the players and the head coach, Sarina Wiegman. That has not been automatic, it has been carefully crafted, the players encouraged to share stories of their personal journeys for that purpose. Many of those have been publicly shared too, players keen to be ambassadors and people who fans can empathise with and connect to: Bronze spoke about her attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism diagnoses, Hampton discussed an eye condition that affects her depth perception and had doctors doubting whether she’d be able to play, Williamson and Mead talked candidly about their anterior cruciate ligament recovery journeys.

    They bonded further through their shared anger and frustration at the racist abuse meted out to Carter online and their collective public condemnation of it. They have also been united in personal grief, with Mead and Ella Toone being consoled by teammates amid the celebrations, a poignant reminder that sometimes good times don’t feel so good.

    It is these bonds that helped to fuel the “proper England” vibe in Switzerland. These were 23 players ready to fight for each other until they had nothing left to give, Bronze – playing with a fractured tibia in one leg and picking up a knee injury on the other and still trying to stay on – epitomising that. That is a big part of why, with the pressure on following a humbling defeat by France in the opening game, England didn’t collapse. Every game from then on in was a final, win or bust. A thrilling 4-0 victory against the Netherlands made it seem like the tide had turned, and the 6-1 win against Wales suggested that the Lionesses had settled into their tournament rhythm.

    They finished second in the group to France, opening up the kinder side of the draw, on paper. Sweden, though, have been tricky opponents for England over the years and it was no different in Zurich, the similarities in style of play between the two sides evident. A terrible first half was followed by a thrilling second as England fought back from two goals down, forced extra time, then won a ludicrous shootout, their ability to dig deep, that unity and their belief tested to the maximum.

    They had to come from behind in all three of their knockout games, Agyemang’s late goal against Italy forcing extra time before Kelly scored the winner. In the final, Alessia Russo cancelled out Mariona Caldentey’s goal before the game ended in another shootout in which Hampton saved two and Kelly scored the decisive penalty. England led for only 4min 52sec across the quarter-final, semi-final and the final. They were aided by the depth they have in the squad, forged from investment in the WSL and in the England youth teams. And there is the flexibility in that depth, illustrated by Mead playing as a deep-lying midfielder against Sweden and then Italy, as England hurled the attacking equivalent of the kitchen sink at them.

    In the final they had the gameplan too, the blueprint set out by their defeat of Spain at Wembley in February and in Arsenal’s underdog victory against Barcelona in the Champions League final. Near-perfect and perfect defensive displays were, respectively, required in those matches. Tellingly, neither England nor Arsenal tried to outplay Spain and Barcelona, letting them do what they do, while staying disciplined defensively and attacking their weaknesses out wide. That was what England did in Basel.

    Wiegman has been a significant cog. As the FA’s chief executive, Mark Bullingham, said, many teams have great players but none have a manager of her quality. She is loved by her players. Her message to her 23 before the Italy game and then the final was a simple one, that spoke to her wry sense of humour and the battling spirit of the team. She brought out a “little toiletry bag that said: ‘Bitches get shit done,’ and bitches got shit done today”, Mead said after the final. “That is it, drop the mic.”

    Zulfiqar Bhutto Jr plans new political party with Fatima Bhutto




    KARACHI (Dunya News) – Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Junior, grandson of former prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, hinted at launching a new political party with Fatima Bhutto and contesting elections from Larkana – and possibly Lyari.

    Speaking to the media at 70 Clifton, he expressed solidarity with residents affected by the recent building closures in Lyari’s Baghdadi area, criticizing the Sindh government for failing to provide alternative housing.

    Bhutto Jr said Lyari, once a stronghold of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), has been left neglected despite loyal support. “If you can build a Bhutto Expressway, you can also build homes for Lyari’s people,” he said. He emphasised that he is not backed by the establishment and is building his political path independently.

    A youth wing will be part of the new movement, which he says is rooted in the vision of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Mir Murtaza Bhutto.

    Promising a people-centered agenda, Bhutto Jr criticised PPP and PTI leaders for corruption, pledging to tour all provinces and bring genuine development — not cosmetic projects — to neglected communities.

  • Zulfiqar Jr, Fatima Bhutto to launch new political party

    Zulfiqar Jr, Fatima Bhutto to launch new political party

    Listen to article

    Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Jr, grandson of former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, announced on Tuesday that he and his sister Fatima Bhutto, will soon launch a new political party — distancing themselves from the current leadership of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).

    Speaking at a press conference at his residence in Karachi’s Clifton area, Bhutto Jr said he had no backing from the establishment and was building his political identity independently. “I have no support from the establishment; this is a lie. I am trying to build myself on my own. My sister Fatima Bhutto is coming, and together we will announce the party. Our youth wing will be with us.”

    Bhutto Jr categorically ruled out any collaboration with the PPP, saying the party had been hijacked and no longer represented the ideals of its founding leadership. “We reject the Zardari League. This is not the PPP of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto or Mir Murtaza Bhutto Shaheed. We will never work with this PPP.”

    He said the PPP today was working for the establishment and had placed obstacles in the way of his late uncle. “The PPP has ended. If the current situation persists, it has no future.”

    Bhutto Jr announced his intention to contest elections from Lyari and expressed solidarity with the area’s residents, particularly those affected by demolitions and the sealing of buildings in the Baghdadi area.

    “I am here for the victims of the Baghdadi incident. Around 150 buildings have been sealed in Lyari. The PPP’s provincial government must provide homes to the affected. These people are not begging — they are asking for their rights.”

    Criticising recent urban development initiatives in Karachi, he described Shahrah-e-Bhutto as a “useless project” and “a slap in the face of the people of Karachi.” He questioned why such projects were prioritised over housing for the displaced. “If you can build Shahrah-e-Bhutto, why can’t you give homes to the people of Lyari?”

    Bhutto Jr said he had earlier announced his party’s formation during a press conference with farmers in Lahore. However, the official launch would be made alongside Fatima Bhutto in the coming days, and the name of the party was still under consideration.

    Rejecting dynastic and elitist politics, he accused both the PPP and PML-N of serving the interests of the wealthy. “Zardari League and PML-N are doing politics for the rich, not for the poor. I am not satisfied with the performance of the provincial governments in Sindh and Punjab.”

    He emphasised the need to restore the constitution to its original form and said his movement stood with the current opposition to protect democratic norms. “We are with the opposition. We must protect the Constitution. It should be restored in its true shape.”

    On foreign policy, Bhutto Jr said he believed there should be one state under the name of Palestine and not a two-state solution. He also voiced concern over human rights issues in Balochistan and Gilgit-Baltistan, calling for the release of political prisoners and an end to state repression.

    Bhutto Jr concluded by saying that the word “equality” from the PPP’s original slogan would be revived through their new platform. “There is not one Lyari in Pakistan, there are many. We will visit every province. We will return to the original values of the PPP, but not with the party in its current form.”

  • IMF upgrades global growth forecast as tariffs ease

    IMF upgrades global growth forecast as tariffs ease

    The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has predicted stronger global economic growth than it forecast in April in part due to some US tariffs on goods being softened.

    A surge in US imports as firms tried to beat impending higher import taxes and actions by some governments to boost growth bumped up its latest forecast.

    However, higher tariffs and more uncertainty could lead to weaker growth and slower economic activity, the IMF warned.

    Meanwhile, UK growth is predicted to be 1.2% this year, and 1.4% in 2026, unchanged from revised forecasts set out in May.

    The UK is set to be the third fastest growing economy out the world’s so-called most advanced economies this year and the next, after US and Canada.

    The IMF, which is a group of 190 countries that work together to try to stabilise the global economy, said the upgrade to its global predictions included trade “front-loading” in recent months – referring to the rush of imports into the US.

    It forecast global growth of 3% in 2025 and 3.1% in 2026, up from 2.8% and 3% in its April report.

    However, that is still below the 3.3% rate it had projected for both years in January, prior to US President Donald Trump taking office, and the pre-pandemic historical average of 3.7%.

    American firms rushed products into the country earlier this year to try to get ahead of new taxes on imports pledged by Trump.

    The IMF said this created risks that could add to any future economic shocks, including companies, having too much stock, making future imports less necessary.

    Also, firms may have to pay more to store goods, and there was also a risk of items becoming obsolete, it said.

    Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, the IMF’s chief economist, said a modest decrease in trade tensions, however fragile, had contributed to the resilience of the global economy.

    However, he added: “The world economy is still hurting, and it’s going to continue hurting with tariffs at that level, even though it’s not as bad as it could have been.”

    He added that the boost from front-loading is going to “fade away” and it risked being a drag on economic activity in the second half of the year and into 2026.

    The IMF said the global pace of price rises was expected to fall to 4.2% in 2025 and 3.6% in 2026.

    But it said inflation would probably remain above target in the US as import taxes were passed through to US consumers in the second half of the year.

    Trump’s trade policies, which he argues will boost US manufacturing and jobs, have upended global trade.

    He brought in a universal tariff of 10% on goods from nearly all countries from April and is threatening higher duties to be imposed from Friday.

    Far higher tariffs that the US and China have imposed on each other have been paused until 12 August, with the parties engaged in talks in Stockholm this week.

    Steeper tariffs that have been announced on products including cars, steel and other metals, pharmaceuticals and computer chips, have not been included in the IMF forecast.

    Trade deals with Japan and the EU have also not been included in the numbers.

    “We’ll have to see whether these deals are sticking, whether they’re unravelled, whether they’re followed by other changes in trade policy,” Mr Gourinchas said.

  • Tom Lee’s Granny Shots ETF rakes in $2 billion in AUM just 9 months after inception

    Tom Lee’s Granny Shots ETF rakes in $2 billion in AUM just 9 months after inception

    Tom Lee, managing partner and the head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, speaks on CNBC’s “The Exchange” on Oct. 31, 2023.

    An ETF driven by Tom Lee, an unabashed bull on Wall Street with a big online fandom, just hit another milestone.

    His first exchange-traded fund Fundstrat Granny Shots US Large Cap ETF (GRNY) has surpassed $2 billion in assets under management in less than nine months since its inception in November.

    It marks a rare success story in an industry where raising just 10% of that level can take years. The speed to reach $2 billion ranks no.1 out of 258 U.S.-listed actively managed large-cap equity ETFs, according to Morningstar and FactSet data.

    GRNY, an actively managed ETF, invests in around 35 high-quality stocks in the S&P 500. The fund, with top holdings such as Robinhood and Oracle, is up more than 18% year to date, outperforming the S&P 500 by over 9 percentage points.

    The Fundstrat co-founder and former JPMorgan strategist gained a huge online following by making bold calls on the market and communicating with investors frequently and timely.

    “We want to make investing in our ETF understandable and transparent,” Lee said in a statement.

    “Granny shot” is a reference to shooting a basketball underhand at the free throw line where the player releases the ball from below the waist. For Fundstrat, it means identifying stocks that fall under multiple key investment themes over the next five to 10 years. Those themes include energy and cyber security, an AI-category called global labor suppliers, and the impact of millennials.

    The Granny Shots fund has an expense ratio of 0.75%.
