✍️I visited British Steel last week - just as workers were discovering that the plant's Chinese owners were effectively planning to starve the blast furnaces to death. It was a strange, unsettling experience. With deep ramifications. Some thoughts: edconway.substack.com/p/the-strang...

Dear FT people: Why are your articles reporting the “tariffs are over” when they very much are not?

The US has just ripped up all of its deals and is trying to coerce the terms of a new one. The way it should work is non US countries coordinate retaliation and coercion of the US. EU will only cut its throat by submitting to the moving target of US demands.

Lots of differences but the similarity with Truss is that a lot of the market response is less about the specific event and more the realisation that these people really are total clowns and there's no clever plan behind the public statements of blathering ignorance.

Latest from @thetimes.com campaign in favour of keeping Britain as a tax haven for foreigners, regardless of how long they have lived here. What a pity it won’t tell us how Henley Partners, which has skin in the game, came up with its data. Its last “survey” was “modelled” on 250 LinkedIn profiles!

What a night, what a performance from this far from 100% team, one of the great European nights at the Emirates. Declan Rice has produced two of the greatest free kicks you'll ever see at this level, and we 100% deserved that third goal too. Incredible. This team deserves so much love. #arsenal

Flying to the US tomorrow to give some talks. Come hang out if you're in Princeton on Tuesday or Georgetown on Thursday (link in next post). Don't hesitate to reach out too, there's not a lot going on in US trade policy right now so I'm anticipating a chill week. spia.princeton.edu/events/why-p...
