So the head of the UK Government Digital Service got rid of the internal assurance team, only to have to find out via a whistleblower that work to build the key tool for assuring people’s identity to govt had been outsourced by Deloittes to Romania. And they wonder why trust in government falls.

I have tried cooking Onion Baji in the oven instead of frying and, despite what the recipe says, it's definitely not better!

If you've not seen it before, I recommend 'Good Girls Revolt' on UK Prime. Based on a true story, the series depicts the battle against sex discrimination in a mythical news magazine in New York in the late '60s. Cool sounds, costumes, dialogue and plotlines. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"China doesn't have the cards" Tariffs lifted on computer and phone components. China:

The Israeli army’s Arabic language spokesperson has ordered residents to many neighbourhoods in Khan Younis to leave, warning of an imminent attack “with great force”. 🔴 LIVE updates ⤵️

Are we really surprised that Republicans just passed a bill that will prevent 70 million married women from voting?

House voted 216-215 to adopt this rule 👇

Tariffs still in place: —125% on Chinese imports —25% on steel, aluminum and auto imports —10% on nearly all other imports Tariffs coming: —On copper, lumber, semiconductor and pharma imports —And maybe on other countries, depending on how the next 90 days go And the S&P 500 is up 9% on the day

Don't fuck with the penguins!

Trump when he wakes up

USA: 104% tariff from tomorrow. Your turn China! 👀

Ah, that didn't take long! If you break the market, the ultra right wing will even go after the crazy right wingers who are in office.

Leaving UK Prime very soon is a great movie about the man who brought down the White House. 'Mark Felt' is a film about the top FBI man who was the Deep Throat behind the Washington Post's Watergate stories, which forced the President from office. We need another Mark Felt today. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I *really* know how to win elections and Trump offers an amazing opportunity for Labour, but only if they opt to differentiate themselves. Brand Reform and the Tories as Trump fans; use the new Tariff regime to get closer to the EU. Why TF hold out against a youth mobility scheme, for instance?!
