Chancellor breaks down the EU into its constituent countries to argue the US is the UK's "single biggest trading partner". Illogical, as a better deal with the EU is a deal with every member state. And as a bloc the EU is *by far* our largest trading partner, as the OBR shows👇

The UK can secure significant growth of 1.7% - 2.2% through a policy of deep alignment with the EU on goods and services, while staying within Starmer's red lines. This is the approach to push for: peak ambition within the constraints Labour has set. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

-Global TetrahedronWe have taken another proud, collective stride toward dystopia.

A bankruptcy court has denied the sale of InfoWars following a month of drawn-out legal proceedings. The experience was long and punishing for all involved, and the final outcome is inconclusive: The InfoWars assets remain in limbo. Everything is now in doubt and everyone is worse off than before.
