Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 59 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

This little performance from Tory, Andrew Griffith, is politics at its most loathsome. The insinuations, the sly little dog-whistles he blows while trying to appear oh so reasonable, the sheer bad faith of his ‘arguments’… Ugh. If you go into politics to behave - and lie - like this, shame on you.

“Trump’s shortlived tariffs make little economic sense: they are not designed as economic policy but as a means to compel loyalty to the president.” And not just corporate loyalty… he wants fawning subservience from nation states too. How foolish and ruinous it would be to agree. on.ft.com/3Rmq2he

Just over a week ago Nigel Farage was proposing we accept chlorinated chicken to get a US trade deal. (What happened to dressing up in a Barbour standing next to tractors?) Yesterday morning he was touting Brexit as the reason the UK had a 10% tariff.... and by end-of-day the EU was also on...10%.

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

Would very much like “heading off the threat of Reform/Farage” to STOP being the way government decides on policy. It’s done nothing but profound harm since 2016 and Farage is still going strong. It doesn’t work for anyone, except him. on.ft.com/42eewsY
Sir Keir Starmer is set to publish a white paper next month setting out the government's plans to cut net migration to Britain, with changes to the graduate visa route billed as an important part.
The move is part of his effort to head off the challenge to Labour from the rightwing Reform UK party.

Boris Johnson has used his Daily Mail platform to slag off “Adolescence” and compare Starmer to Pol Pot. This is a politician, a paper and a headline that sum up the debasement of our politics and the toxic level of ‘debate’ it encourages. Grotesque that he gets airtime to insult us all like this.

“Retirement flats” should be illegal IMO. The three bedroom flat we’re in is a “retirement flat”, i.e. it’s all on one floor. The way to make it retirement proof is for any carers we need to be able to afford to live nearby!
