Frankly, Starmer’s speech came across as borderline xenophobic. Let’s be honest: if voters are looking for that kind of rhetoric, Farage has more credibility in that lane. #labour #starmer #immigration

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous. Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family. To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

We’l pay lower tariffs on products we barely export anyway. In return, we collect less tax on digital services and applies lower tariffs on American imports, which could negatively affect local production. Are we so stupid?

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

Trump says tariffs will allow him to cut taxes for anyone making under $200,000 a year. If that’s the case, it likely means companies won’t be moving back to the US. Is he incompetent or what? #Trump #tariffs #taxes

In a stunning reaffirmation of America’s merit-based immigration system, Melania Trump was granted an EB-1 visa in 2001, commonly referred to as the “Einstein Visa”, reserved for individuals with “extraordinary ability” and “sustained national or international acclaim.”

What’s emerging from the wreckage is not a new order but something more chaotic: a kind of post-postwar world. One that resembles the interwar years in its dangerous fragmentation, in its erosion of consensus, and in its retreat from internationalism.

In Beijing, the message could not have been clearer: America barks, then blinks. In Silicon Valley, a quiet sigh of relief, followed by the whir of servers and supply chains spinning undisturbed. And where MAGA hats are still worn like armour, one wonders: was this the plan? #Trump #tariffs #apple

Tariffs conveniently shift the burden of public debt onto the American middle and working class. Meanwhile, their beloved government gets to say, ‘Look, Mom, no new taxes!’ 👋 #trump #tariffs #taxes #middleclass #workingclass

This administration is so corrupt that it’s likely the tariff exemption came right after a personal money transfer or a shady Bitcoin transaction. #trump #tariffs #corruption #bitcoin #apple
