I’d love to see more boycott in Europe. This is the only way to do our part… some may claim it may be even more efficient than tariffs.

We’re allocating EU humanitarian aid to support vulnerable people in Chad, Sudan, and neighbouring countries: 🔹 €74.5M for the Lake Chad displacement crisis 🔹 €160M for conflict-affected regions in Sudan 🔹 €48M for refugees in South Sudan, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Libya

Strong message here from Ursula von der Leyen: The EU is prepared to deploy its most powerful trade measures and may impose levies on US digital companies if talks with Trump fail to end his tariff war against Europe. Interview by Roula Khalaf, Henry Foy & Andy Bounds

The egg just smashed the patriarchy! You got to love science. Add to this that the foetus is female at conception… 🤭

Coming in hot! Pan is a Krider's red-tailed hawk, a naturally occurring color variation noted for being very light to almost white. Wild red-tailed hawks come in an amazing variety of colors, from nearly black to bright white and a whole scale in between.

💥 There will be a debate in parliament on 24th April, on the trading relationship with EU, exquisitely timed to be a month before the big summit between VdL and Starmer. Please share if you feel you can (or simply write to your own MP!). hey-mp.uk?c=debate 🇪🇺🇬🇧

In the new episode of Page 94, we spot a very specific Telegraph trend… Can you guess what the paper’s favourite headline phrase is? 🎧  Listen to the full episode now wherever you get podcasts: pod.fo/e/2c4c86

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Zelensky: We have their documents, even credit cards. They are citizens of China. I believe the United States of America needs to pay more attention to what is happening today. #standwithukraine

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

Splendid! @uktradebusiness.bsky.social chair @andrewlewinmp.bsky.social has secured a debate on our relationship with the EU ahead of the UK-EU Summit in May. As Trump’s tariff war threatens UK trade, the best mitigation is turning to more reliable partners. ~AA whatson.parliament.uk/event/cal51413

This should be obvious!

“Ultimately, this is the first social media trade war. The experience of Tesla's sale slump and Canada's backlash against US goods may prove contagious. That would be as powerful as any counter-tariff.”

Trump : dealer de krachs. C'est la une de Libération mardi. Hongkong, Paris, New York... Les marchés boursiers ont poursuivi leur chute lundi après la déclaration de guerre commerciale de la Maison Blanche. Et pendant ce temps-là, le président américain jouait au golf.

The Trump regime is threatening Europe over the exclusion of US companies from its €150 billion defense initiative, which aims to supply weapons to Ukraine. Previously, Trump bragged about the ability to disable systems sold to others and admitted to intentionally providing lower-quality products.

Oh look. So despite all the hand-wringing about Le Penn's sentence and the insistence that it would trigger great surges of public sympathy, hardly anyone came to her sadsack protest www.politico.eu/article/mari...

No b-days today so I'm putting in a plug for the #WomenInSTEM books we've published over the last few years. I'm in the middle of trying to argue for a 5th volume on Chem & Physics so if you bought one of these and liked it, a review on Amazon or GoodReads would help me a lot in that! #BookSky 🧪

In the debate re rejoining the EU yesterday, the government claimed that the British public don't want to rejoin. Let's make it clear they're dead wrong about that by signing & sharing this new petition. Can we get this over 100k to ensure another debate? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Trevor Phillips just said what we’ve danced around for 9 years: A US trade deal means chlorinated chicken, lower food standards & worse trade with the EU. The 2016 ballot paper sold a fantasy - that we could have both. We can’t. EU or US. Only 14% want the latter. #BrexitReality #trevorphillips

How we’re being asked to live now is objectively insane

“A French government spokesperson already said last week that the EU's retaliation against U.S. tariffs could include “digital services that are currently not taxed." EU runs a big trade deficit in services, seems logical under the US wrapped view of economics…
