It's got zero to do with negotiation or indeed with any sense of logic. The tariff rates are the product of minds which are functionally insane, doing fantasy mathematics at scale. We're all lost in a hall of mirrors pretending that a compass will help us find our way out.
Also, it's got nothing to do with anything our government has done. It's a mathematical consequence of the mad formula they're using as we have a trade deficit.

Other countries that sucked up (like Japan or Vietnam) got screwed by the formula.
Intrigued by this narrative that Britain has done well here.

-10% is still v significant.
-We're a big exporter of cars to the US which will be subject to 25%. Terrible for UK auto industry.
-Even if we get a deal we can't avoid the major economic shock to global trade overall.

Given that just 4.25% of the world's population lives in the United States of America this might be the moment for the 95.75% of the rest of us to leave them to it.

Many overseas markets that the UK could be focusing on for example - you know like the fucking enormous one on our doorstep.

These media figures use their positions of influence and privilege to first peddle their damaging right wing rhetoric and then get to publicly absolve themselves and rewrite history when the rottenness of their beliefs is exposed.

We must never allow them their cynical revisionism.

Many caricatures capture Trump the moron. Few capture his evil as brilliantly as this.

This has been shared a lot recently, but mostly without crediting the artist.

It might be time to stop treating Farage as if he's some sort of special confidante of Trump. The human skid mark hasn't got a clue what's going on in the White House, as the Chagos situation demonstrated, or what on earth Trump will do next.
