It's maddening that experts have to spend precious time correcting mainstream media messaging! In fact The Times lied and the key message from the OBR (the UK's Office for Budget Responsibility) is as below. Read more here: www.carbonbrief.org/obr-net-zero...

Short-term, governments need to stand together to challenge this aggression. Long-term, they need to start working towards a fairer trade model, which stops prioritising the interests of big corporations, and starts putting ordinary people, here and across the world, first.

We don’t know whether these newly-threatened tariffs will come to pass, but we do know that they are being used to bully governments into handing even more of their sovereignty to some of the biggest corporations in the world.

At 6 a.m missile hit, unlike anything I’ve ever heard. The sound, the pressure, the vibration, it felt like it pulled the air from my lungs as it fell, whistling No explosion. No clue where it landed I still don’t know, was it a missile? A suicide drone? A plane crash? Just fear, raw and unanswered.

Noteworthy that concern about Palantir in the NHS heads the list of BMA policy resolutions. So were calls to develop safeguards opposing antisemitism, while recognising advocacy for Palestinian causes without being labelled antisemitic. Many Jewish members advanced these positions.
