Fantastic graphic from the WSJ. Trump just increased the price of a iPhone by nearly 60 percent. Obviously completely unsustainable so won’t be sustained. An American Liz Truss moment

We’ve got a lot to build in this country, and we need a lot more builders. So we’ll cover training costs and make it easier to work anywhere in Canada. It’s going to be a great time to be in the skilled trades.

How a false Net Zero claim became ‘news’ …a tweet by Reform MP and GB News presenter Richard Tice caught my eye. He was claiming that Net Zero was the cause of the Heathrow shutdown, and that the issue was a “refusal to have diesel generators”.

Critics say the main flaw in Donald Trump’s approach is his failure to understand the complexities of the players involved and his overconfidence that he can rapidly change the dynamic on the ground. Here’s how his peace efforts have unravelled: www.ft.com/content/7180...

Thames Water's £3 billion loan will include £898 million in consultancy fees and interest payments. And they plan on forcing customers to pay for it. We can't keep rewarding them for failure. Public ownership of our water is the only option.

Thinking of those in this meeting right now. This is a very historic moment. It could be the moment Europe and NATO step up to guarantee the future security of Ukraine and the whole of Europe. These are quite some pictures.

If the stakes weren’t so high, the contortions & humiliations of all the people who cheered this in & sneered about ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ etc would be absolutely hilarious.

These are dark days. But for Starmer, the collapse of the old order is a moment of political promise. He can use it to remake his premiership and the continent: new political space has unfolded before him in every direction. Will he seize it? New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

“Trump is wrong; the world must say so. He’s taking US down a disastrous path…favouring Putin’s gangster state over democracies of free Europe.He’s standing alongside murder & tyranny against democracy & liberty. His is a historic inversion of America’s destiny” www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...

Watch: @maddow.msnbc.com explains that the public opinion is against the felon in the White House. He is historically unpopular. He is the least popular president in the history of modern polling during this point of his presidency. People don't like his policies & the people in his administration.

@billbrowder.bsky.social talking sense as always. Sounds like European Foreign Ministers largely agree with him on Russia's frozen assets. Give them to Ukraine. All of them. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk youtu.be/Z_xV1nf44RA?...

Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

Of all the daft 'opinions' that Brexiters could never explain or justify, opposition to a mooted European army was among the stupidest. Inevitably, Farage the Putin fanboy was the loudest heckler. Armies that you are actually in rarely turn out to be opposed to your interests...
