The term “witch hunt” is overused in politics. Perhaps not now. Quite a bit of the British media should ask themselves serious questions as to whether the coverage they gave to this man was remotely proportionate. Likewise there are Qs for Cambridge- and whether they discharged their duty of care.

Huge thank you to the US and UK teams for putting this utterly ambiguous line in the text, so we all get to enjoy weeks of wild speculation. My best guess is they didn't actually agree a list but didn't want to delay the big VE day announce party and are hoping it all works itself out.
1. Addressing Tariffs (a) Following a reasonable period of negotiation: 
HIGHLIGHT BEGINS (i) the United Kingdom intends to reduce its applied tariff rates on a preferential basis on a range of originating goods of the United States in sectors of importance to the United States; HIGHLIGHT ENDS and (ii) the United States intends to reduce its applied tariff rates on a preferential basis on a range of originating goods of the United Kingdom in sectors of importance to the United Kingdom.  The countries intend to coordinate the timing of their respective tariff reductions to be as soon as practicable, taking into consideration their respective domestic processes.  On request of the United Kingdom, the United States will consider reducing its applied tariff rates for a UK territory or territories for whose international relations the United Kingdom is responsible on a preferential basis.

I genuinely feel sick after watching that presser & not in a ‘Trump was rude, pass the smelling salts’ way or even shock that you’d publicly bully a wartime leader like that. It’s the utter narcissism. Trump could literally start WW3 because he feels his ego hasn’t been sufficiently stroked.

The most important thread you'll read today. In brief: Europe has the power to save Ukraine and slip into the leadership position America has vacated. It must grasp it. And Europeans must pressure their governments to do so.
