You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

No, Britain did not get off lightly in the Trump tariffs. And no, it is not much of a vindication of Brexit. Or at the least seeing it is an economic dividend is to conveniently look away from the more substantial economic costs. New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Good bucket of cold water from @lewisgoodall.com on impact of #TrumpTariffs on UK; modest gain, or rather smaller loss, from 10% less tariffs than the EU will no way outweigh the massive losses to the UK from Brexit itself nor harm to the world economy from Trump open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Trump's chaos means events change by the hour, but the underlying forces he channels & may well become undone by don't. So in the new edition of @bylinetimes.bsky.social, we do a deep dive into why the President's 'mob rule' has been both inevitable and damaging to him 👇 subscribe.bylinetimes.com

The idiocy here is immense. Musk is more of an anti-European than Putin. No European governments should do business with any of his companies (looking at you Italy - and Starlink). He’s just here to pull down everything decent and collaborative, so that he can control the pieces.
