Nigel Farage has cost the UK people 100bn in lost GDP and 42bn PER YEAR in lost taxes. I never thought the British people would continue to support the Farage Tax which means they now have worse schools, hospitals, roads and social care. If you know anyone who votes Farage please thank them.

In an attempt to shut down free speech in the #USA #Trump and #Vance are stopping funding to NPR. If, like me, you enjoy many of their programmes, you can donate or sign up to help fund a particular show. www.npr.org #freespeech #npr

When I look at the #USA right now I see them following the same playbook as #Farage and #Johnson. Their supporters regularly threatened opponents, threatened the judiciary via the press and went after their opponents. #Johnson was eventually brought down by his own side who were sick of the lies.

BBC World News has now killed off the two biggest and best shows it had, Hardtalk and Dateline London. These two shows together were by far the most insightful shows. These were the two shows I actually looked forward to watching and that I made a point of watching! @stephensackur.bsky.social

@stephensackur.bsky.social as a British ex-pat (now for nearly 20 years). Hardtalk and Dateline London were in my view by far the best two regular shows on BBC World News, as they had time to go into the detail with the right people and discuss topics in depth. Thanks for all the interviews!

According to the FT this morning, the US may put tariffs on capital inflows, so effectively a tariff on investing there. In addition some close to the administration are advocating a default (restructuring) of government debt. Trump has form when it comes to defaulting so I'd take this […]

To be clear American friends. While many of us across the world and over there may not like some of what Trump does. He won the election fairly and has every right to implement what he is doing. He was elected twice, so the people chose that path and knew full well what he was like.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled. This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

@juliadavisnews.bsky.social: "Don't think for a second that aid to Ukraine was stopped because Zelensky didn't wear a suit or disputed Vance's 'stories' that originated with Russia-funded bloggers. Trump was going to do this all along, and the Russians knew it. 'Trump is ours' remains their motto."
