The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless.
He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory.
The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel.
TRUMP HAS PUT A TARIFF ON A US MILITARY BASE

The 39th president‘s body will lie in state until Thursday. Meanwhile, the president-elect will just lie in general.

Of course it's people older than 13 doing the statistics...
Further evidence of England's improvement in maths today with the release of the TIMSS 2023 test which allows for comparisons across countries.
Particularly good news at year 9 (13 year olds) where we've seen a decent jump despite the pandemic (unlike other countries).

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 🤷🏻♂️
