Bad news for the US, with imports up, exports down, as the economy responds to Trump’s tariffs and financial volatility. The widening trade deficit, just announced, is far bigger than had been anticipated.

There is no ceasefire. That is the lie we are being sold.
Gaza is still under attack. Children are being killed, families freezing in collapsing tents, hunger spreading while the world is told to look away.

Your water bills are going up, again.

What you got if you don't use human intervention or double checking.
I've lost count of the number of times I've offered to help bistro with their menu in English.

I read comments questioning why Scots wear kilts to Burns Nights, when Burns himself is never pictured wearing tartan
🇬🇧 Under the oppressive The Dress Act 1746, which was enforced for most of his life, Burns would have been imprisoned or transported to the colonies for the wearing of tartan 🏴
