🚨Some major errors & misleading claims from experienced presenter Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4 Today, when discussing British Steel with Treasury Minister James Murray I hope these are corrected on tomorrow's programme, and Robinson sticks to the facts in future. Here's what he got wrong... 🧵

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

This is what Hannah Arendt meant when she spoke of the banality of evil.

The editor of The Economist on Trump’s tariffs: ‘flawed economics, inaccurate history & cockamamie calculations used to justify the most wrong-headed & damaging policy decision in decades… These mindless tariffs will cause chaos. Almost everything Mr Trump said… was deluded’ 👏
