Begs question why similarly-positioned UK wouldn't try something similar... answer: fear of backlash from right wing parties / press & so-called nanny state criticism. So on we go, blindly, towards the potential abyss, w govt assurances everything 'under review' / control

Within a week she has gone from insisting the UK should join with Trump, to denying she said that, to opposing further action and if you asked her, she would tell you that she has never once changed position.

That Nigel Farage thinks it is more important not to endanger his backing from the US government than take a position that reflects the overwhelming sentiment of the British public reflects underlying structural contradictions that could split the British Far Right

Labour MPs may have enjoyed delivery of this #UKbudget in Commons but hard to see party getting majority again in near future given pain inflicting on voters & inept way governing. Could there be bigger gift to anti-Establishment parties like Reform than this Labour govt?

As usual, I think Brian is right about Brazil. Its economy isn’t very reliant on exports to the US, its judiciary operates quite independently of politics and Lula will be eager to stand up to a foreign bully. Brazil already trades more with China than with the US; tariffs deepen that relationship.

Quietly damning line from @thetimes.com : “Trump did not say in his post that the White House had demanded constraint, or that he had tried to dissuade Putin from taking action. There is no indication that Trump has spoken to his Ukrainian counterpart, President Zelensky.”
