Our response to the U.S. tariffs is to fight, protect, and to build. That means building the infrastructure to help diversify our trade partners, create good jobs, and grow our economy.

Not a historian, but to my knowledge, this is the first time a sitting US Senator — or member of Congress, generally — or perhaps any senior US gov’t official — has included an f-bomb in an official press release.

The National Trust has five times the membership of all the political parties combined. If you think it's got it wrong, you're going to lose your shit over British politics.
The Telegraph’s been reproducing versions of this same story for years. Wokeness and a ‘recipe for a crisis’ in membership. But National Trust member retention is higher than comparator organisations despite the cost of living crisis, and visitor numbers have been increasing.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

A Trump shill on Newsnight claims there are more people in prison in UK jails for freedom of speech violations than in Putin’s Russia.
These people are radicalised, insane, plain stupid or some combination of all three.

Hats off to my brilliant Oxfordshire colleague Charlie Maynard for taking Thames Water to court to stop their disastrous bail out that would see more debt piled on and rate payers footing the bill.
I was pleased to give my support to the case with a letter of support

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻♂️
