Any company that can replace a tariffed product with an American made is going to flourish. Can’t get tomatoes or avocados, twinkies and Ho-Hos are made in US bakeries and are the perfect replacement !!! Pay no attention to the price increase. They never go bad !

The inevitable consequence of Labour's desire that right wing voters no longer see any meaningful difference between it and Reform is that progressive voters will, also, no longer see any meaningful difference between it and Reform.

What a load of absolute nonsense. No one is claiming that a publicly-owned service is ‘morally superior’ - they’re saying (rightly) that a private company has an inherent responsibility to deliver profit to shareholders. Inflammatory bile. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04...
