As usual with these panels, the overwhelming characteristic is nonexistent or false information. Every call to understand and empathize with Trump voters (which is fine in the abstract!) needs to grapple with this.

For some hobbies, Trump tariff is an existential crisis even for people outside of US. Eg most board games won’t be published under this tariff regime at all.

Always rate Michael Cembalest - thoughtful, data driven, always interesting. it is sad that he needs to redact his thoughts about the US in the current environment.

Straight talk from the CEO front lines on Liberation Day. Almost all the news on tariffs and declining CEO business confidence that’s fit to print, with only a few minor redactions.

www.cityam.com/the-governme... I know an unusual amount about youth mobility schemes due to Commonwealth pro-wrestlers making use of Britain's to come train in Wolverhampton. What the Commission is proposing goes far beyond such schemes and is a one-sided gambit to restore Freedom of Movement

Hello Bluesky! We may be Britain's oldest political think tank, but we're always looking for new platforms on which to connect and share.

On the upside, the dedicated troll account chronicling his inability to get a seat is entertaining as hell.
Is it that even Conservative voters find him annoying as hell?
