This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.

The Spanish economy grew more than any major economy last year. Why is Spain doing so well? One key reason is immigration. Keir Starmer and other leaders of low-grow economies running out of ideas should take note. My opinion piece @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

PLANES ARE FALLING FROM THE SKY For 16 years the USA had a perfect record. Zero commercial plane crashes. The Donald decides to gut the FAA and this result is 7 crashes, 15 aviation disasters and 85 dead, all in 29 days. Co-incidence? I don’t think so.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

The fact that so many are being taken in by an insane pitch from right wing politicians that the UK needs to leave the ECHR - based on a wildly inaccurate & misleading premise - is an indictment of UK media’s inability to call it out Leaving the ECHR will undermine all our rights. It’s that simple
