Trump may want to do a ceasefire deal with Russia - but he needs EU consent for sanctions changes. Might not have been such a smart idea to exclude them from negotiations after all www.euractiv.com/section/poli...

Important data when people trot out the line that young people were not at risk from Covid infection. Especially in that 1st year, when everyone was meeting the virus for the first time without vax, Long Covid rates were very high. Imperial REACT study estimated 23% of all infections in 2020.

One simple law change could make tens of billions in tax. Everybody who lives in the UK has to pay ALL their tax in the UK, no tax havens. While everybody who pays tax outside the UK has to pay a flat 50% tax on everything. We will call it a billionaires tariff.

A reminder, as Donald Trump announces new tariffs on car imports, that US tariffs on steel/aluminium are ALREADY affecting UK businesses. This is not theoretical. It's real. Here's a very tangible example re steel👇

🤬 The Heritage Foundation held a private workshop on dismantling the EU. They authored Project 2025 and hate that the EU is not under Trump’s thumb… and rather, can rival him.

Our economies are intertwined, but not as closely as with the EU. We'd be better off presenting a united front against the US with the EU. Perhaps behind the scenes this is understood and acted on, but on the surface it looks like we say the wrong thing Every Single Time.

open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... In forensic prose a historian lays out the facts of a scandal far worse than Watergate. Trump’s top officials spilled the most sensitive secrets of an operation, put military personnel at risk, then lied about it. And apart from one paper it’s not on UK front pages

"I do wonder if these politicians know how hard it is to apply for PIP already. More than 80 questions, many of which require a narrative response... I had to hand the job of filling the form in to my wife years ago when it literally induced panic attacks as I tried to do it myself."

Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow. Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand . adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-signal...

The US national security clusterfuck is leading the BBC News in the UK. Anchor Clive Myrie doesn’t know whether to laugh or just stare down the camera lens and scream, “WTF?!” Vance & Hegseth trash-talking Europe is picked up strongly. Trump’s US is a global laughing stock.
