One can only hope that the American people deliver a similar landslide win in the US mid-terms in 2026 to those opposed to punitive tariffs that the British people delivered in 1906.

Winston Churchill rips into Tory MPs on tariffs, 1904:

They had “unsettled convictions and still more unsettled constituencies, looking extremely foolish, and extremely ashamed of themselves and of the Government, but perfectly prepared to back the Government up through thick & thin.”
