The Economist (February 10)
A “deep freeze” seems to have overtaken crypto assets. At least that’s how it may feel to investors. “The value of a bitcoin has dropped from $124,000 in early October to around $70,000 today, and the market value of all cryptocurrencies has dropped by more than $2trn. Though the asset class has slumped before, its boosters now seem more despondent than ever.”

The Guardian (October 23)
“Weak, depressed and despondent” describes the government benches as Prime Minister Theresa May made her “now-ritual update” to the Commons “on the continued lack of progress in the Brexit negotiations.” The update has “become as painful for the Conservative party as it has for the prime minister.” That said, it should be noted that some “deranged Brexiters” found a chance to roar “their approval at Britain becoming worse off than Mongolia and Mauritania.”
