LIZ, THE BRIEF Liz Truss has become the shortest-serving prime minister in UK's history. Truss resigned on Thursday, following days of political disorder, U-turns, poor communications and plummeting opinion polls. The previous day, scenes of absolute chaos had erupted in Westminster, with reports of MPs being bullied and physically manhandled during a key vote. Earlier this week, the newly appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer had ditched the PM’s entire economic plan, further undermining her authority. In a must-read analysis, Alasdair Sandford examines what’s behind Truss’s astonishing downfall and the lingering instability besetting British politics.

IT'S IN THE NUMBERS
Eurostat has revised its inflation data for the eurozone and, well, the final numbers are still disheartening. Annual inflation reached 9.9% in September, up from 9.1% in August, setting a new all-time record. The highest rates were seen in the Baltic countries: 24.1% in Estonia, 22.5% in Lithuania and 22.0% in Latvia. Inflation remains so stubbornly high that even France, the country with the lowest rate (6.2%), still triples the 2% target pursued by the European Central Bank.

As a long winter nears, Europeans turn to wood

Petr, a Czech builder, spends an extra thirty minutes at work nowadays. After his colleagues leave, he roams around building sites collecting discarded chunks of wood. On a good day, Petr can pile a few kilograms of off-cuts into his van and store them in his garden, knowing that scraps could save him a few Czech koruna come winter. “Of course, it’s not properly dried or of good quality, but anything that saves me from using an hour’s worth of gas will help,” he said. Like Petr, greater numbers of Europeans are turning to wood to heat themselves up this winter, in anticipation of record-breaking bills. David Hutt looks into Europe’s wood boom.
