The Prime Minister came to Ipswich to announce a new era. Not just for our nuclear industry and our country's energy security, but for jobs and investment in our town and county. The green light for Sizewell C was a huge boost for local people and businesses, but we are only just getting started.

It’s 41 years since extraordinary Eric Gates effort at Anfield. Lots to admire here: - The outside of the boot pass - The lay-off - The instant ping into the top corner. Some goal, son. Some goal.

Trump's tariffs: ➡️ Mark Zuckerberg lost $17.9 billion ➡️ Jeff Bezos lost $15.9 billion ➡️ Elon Musk lost $11 billion Despite losing $44.8 billion between them, this will not reduce the quality of life of any of them Yale estimates Trump's tariffs will cost the average American household $3,800

Femi Oluwole, "Trump's position is if we want rid of the tariffs he's just put on us we need to copy his rules not be close to the EU" "We do 3x as much trade with the EU as we do with America, anybody saying we should prioritise trade with America and not with the EU doesn't care about the UK"

Confirmed: Russia has been spared from Trump's reciprocal tariffs because current sanctions "preclude any meaningful trade," the White House says. However, the US trades more with Russia than it does with some of the countries that have been targeted, like Mauritius or Brunei, @axios.com reports.

What could be a better timeline cleanse than Ed Davey doing a horse race? I bet the LibDems wouldn't adopt a policy that will actively push 50,000 kids into poverty, like Labour have, while ignoring the option of a wealth tax on those with £10m+

Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled. He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off. We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.

It makes complete sense that Trump calls MMA fighter Conor McGregor his favorite Irish person. Like President Molest-a-Lot, McGregor is an adjudicated rapist, found by the Irish High Court in a civil case to have assaulted and raped a woman in December 2018. sports.yahoo.com/article/dona...
