I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Hard Brexit
could cost
£66bn a year

Leaked Treasury papers reveal lost revenue

Sam Coates Deputy Political Editor
Ollver Wright Policy Editor

Cabinet ministers are being warned
that the Treasury could lose up_to
£66 billion a year in tax revenues under
"hard Brexit", according to leaked
government papers.

GDP.could fall by as much as 9.5 per
cent if Britain leaves the single market
and hastorely on WorldTrade Organi-
sation rules for trading with the conti-
nent, compared with ifit stayed within
the EU,theforecasts show.Such a steep
drop in revenue would force ministers
to slash public spending or raise taxes.
The £66 billion drop, contained in a
draft cabinet committee paper seen by
The Times, is nearly a tenth of the
£716 billion that the government is pro-
jected to collect in taxes this year,and is
equivalent to 65 per cent of the annual
budget of NHS England.

Business leaders are_increasingly
worried that the UK could fail to nego-
tiate a deal with the 27 remaining EU
members by the time it leaves the
union, and will face a "cliff edge" of
trade tariffs and barriers,

Several cabinet ministers who sup-
ported Remain are stepping up efforts
to prioritise business concerns and the
economy in Brexit discussions, fearing
that Leave supporters fail to realise the
scale of potential damage, It comes as:;
○ Theresa May faces a potential legal
challenge by a group of Conservative
MPs over the decision to begin Brexit
negotiations without parliament's
approval. The prime minister's spokes-
man ruledoutgiving MPs a voteyester-
day,saying thatitwould"second guess'
the will of the British people.
○ Dominic Grieve, the former attor-
ney-general, said that unless the gov,
ernment could agree,a deal supported
by parliament it would not survive.

Take a look at this quote from 1942 about how the Nazis rose to power. It's by the Austrian author Stefan Zweig, and it describes exactly what's happening today — including the "dose by dose" methods of the Trump regime the apparent inability of Europe to react quickly enough to it." #FightFascism

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"
