In case you missed it ... On the night of the Brexit ref in 2016, as the result came in, this young woman was asked how she felt. Her mixture of anger, grief, shame, shock and despair spoke for millions of us. Everything she feared might happen came true. In Britain, and now in the USA.

🚨🚨Unsurprisingly, the Global #tradewar is not only a bleak reality but has been significantly escalated as China has decided to retaliate #Trumptariffs striking all US imports with 34 percent tariffs. This is unprecedently bad news for the whole world economy. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/glob...

⬆️💷NHS dental charges in England rise today. Not a penny of this hike will go towards expanding access or improving your care. It's simply providing cover for cuts in government funding. Send a message to Rachel Reeves. 👉 https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/scrap-the-nhs-dentistry-price-hike

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.” Do I have that just about right?

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer. If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up. If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

After 6 weeks of the new duty system and of course a massive tax hike on wine along with further Brexit barriers to trade being put in place how’s the trade coping? Well the simple answer is badly and much worse than even I expected.

OK. Tariff corner. Today, the first Trump tariffs came into force for EU & UK goods. First up: steel. As of March 12 steel articles (defined in Proclamation 9705) are subject to a 25% tariff. So are derivative steel articles (defined in Proclamation 9980). /1

British farmers are being forced to give up producing food and more substandard food arrives in the U.K. everyday, thanks to bad Brexit trade deals. This Australian meat is reared using methods and chemical banned here which are really bad for animals, Public health and environment.

Donald Trump and JD Vance lured Zelensky to the White House under the false premise that they intended to help Ukraine, so that they could lecture a desperate man and further gaslight the world into thinking they actually care. Watch the entire exchange here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXIJ...

Please call your MOC and urge them to publicly condemn Trump & Vance for their vile and disgusting treatment of Zelensky, who deserves nothing but respect!

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Health Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way. Except for the £600bn a year profit for him and his mates.

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

As being “free to make our own trade deals” has delivered the square root of jack shit and, as Brexiters still can’t tell us what EU regulations they want to scrap, closer alignment with the EU should be a no-brainer. Great work @bestforbritain.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

I wonder whether anyone at the Beeb has ever told Robbie Gibb, the Brexit-supporting board member knighted by his former boss Theresa May who polices the ‘impartiality’ of others, to piss off. Someone senior, whether on or off air staff, really needs to. This nonsense can’t continue.
