This is an atrocity. A nakedly authoritarian, illegal attack on a private institution. The damage to American innovation and education will be permanent. If you are American, I beg you to contact your representatives now and demand an end to this madness.

Got round to reading Farage two page “manifesto” in yesterday’s Mail. Populist slogans/unfunded promises strung together in a piece designed to portray 🇬🇧 as third world. But how about this for nerve from Mr Brexit? “The casual lies and careless attitudes of our political class have let people down”.

Ending double taxation of Indians here on temporary work visas just as we do for many other countries (including US, EU, etc) is "two-tier taxation". Ignorance, racism, cynical opportunism, or all three?

Fully agree with Jon on this. The UK has lots of similar social security agreements with other trade partners. I’m not surprised by Conservatives being wilfully dumb on this but the Lib Dems shouldn’t blow this dog whistle.

WELKER: You are not ruling out military force to take Greenland? TRUMP: I don't rule out anything. No. Not there. We need Greenland very badly. Greenland is a very small amount of people which we'll take of and we'll cherish them and all of that. But we need that for international security.
