Tariffs get their name from Tarifa, a pretty Andalusian port just west of Gibraltar which was base to notorious pirates who used to mug traders passing between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.

Labour is doing the sensible thing in seeking to limit the damage of tariffs. But there's a limit to how much humiliation this country can take. And we're getting pretty close to hitting it.

Criminal abuse of power. A corrupt politician being found guilty in a court of law.
Judges did their job. Le Pen muzzled herself. She is responsible for her own demise. Democracy is safer today.

Europe's appointment with history. Time to stand up in defence of European Values. And to enforce EU law strictly on US companies: data protection rules, competition rules, environmental laws, the Charter of Fundamental Rights, etc. No more privileged treatment of the US, put Europe first.

Latest OBR assessment: Brexit caused a 4% hit to GDP.
That's an astounding amount, the equivalent of more than £100,000,000,000 lost to Brexit.
